How to Replace the Air Filter in a Lavida?
2 Answers
The method for replacing the air filter in a Lavida is as follows: 1. Open the engine hood and locate the position of the air filter; 2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws around the top cover of the filter; 3. After opening the cover, remove the old air filter and replace it with a new one. Taking the 2019 Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of 4613mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. The 2019 Lavida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112PS, a maximum power of 82kW, and a maximum torque of 145Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I always DIY the replacement of the Lavida's air filter—it's simple and cost-effective. After parking, wait for the engine to cool down, then open the hood and locate the black filter box near the engine, secured with plastic clips or screws. Open the top cover, carefully remove the old filter (usually made of paper), and check how much dust has accumulated. It's best to replace it every 10,000 kilometers. Clean any dust inside the box, then insert the new filter with the arrow pointing in the correct direction to avoid affecting airflow. Close the lid tightly to ensure no air leaks. The whole process requires no tools and takes about twenty minutes. Timely replacement protects the engine, improves fuel efficiency, prevents dirty air from increasing fuel consumption and wear, and saves hundreds in repair costs. For regular maintenance, always check that the model matches the Lavida's original parts.
