Removal and Replacement of Air Filter

Model: Subaru Outback MK 4, BM, BR - Years 2009-2014
Part: Air filter

Periodically, just like engine oil, the air filter must be replaced, even more frequently if you use the car on unpaved roads. This is a very simple operation that can be performed without removing mechanical components. Once you lift the bonnet, locate the box containing the filter. Loosen the screw clamp and detach the intake hose, also disconnecting the electrical connector. Unclip the two clips and open the box. At this point, simply extract the old filter and replace it with a new one of the same type and size. Close the box, reconnect the connector, and refit the hose tightening it with the clamp. Car model: Subaru Outback Year: 2011.

Replace Timing Belt on Citroen C5

How to replace the timing belt on a Citroen C5? Lift the car on a column lift or jack (if necessary, remove the front wheel using a screwdriver to detach the right wheel arch liner). Once these steps are completed, lift the bonnet, remove the engine soundproofing panel and the belt cover (plastic or metal). Use a suitable spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat. Use a socket to unscrew the tensioner pulley securing bolt, then remove the water pump as shown in the video. Fit the new water pump (previously removed), the tensioner, and the belt itself, tightening everything with the socket. Finally, refit the belt pulley cover.
