How to Replace the Air Filter in a Sagitar?
2 Answers
Sagitar air filter replacement method: First, open the car's hood and locate the air filter housing, a square-shaped component. Unscrew the four screws to open the housing. Inside, you'll find a cylindrical component - that's the air filter. Remove the old air filter and install a new one. Close the housing, tighten the screws, and the replacement is complete. The Sagitar is a joint-venture A+ class sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2731mm. Exterior-wise, the Sagitar's front fascia inherits Volkswagen's family DNA, with chrome-trimmed grille seamlessly connecting to the headlights. The prominent U-shaped grille seen in previous Sagitar models has become less noticeable. The headlight design is sharper than current models, adopting the same pointed inner corner design as the 6th generation Golf, giving it a more aggressive 'eye' expression.
I just changed the air filter for my Sagitar, and it's not hard to do! First, park your car, turn off the engine, and let it cool down. Open the engine compartment and locate the box on the right side, near the battery. The cover is usually secured with three or four screws. Prepare a screwdriver to unscrew and remove the cover—inside is the old filter, which is black, dirty, and dusty. Take it out gently to avoid scattering dust. Clean the inside of the box with a vacuum to prevent debris from getting in. Make sure you buy the correct new filter and align the airflow arrow correctly—don’t install it backward. Place it in gently, reattach the cover, and tighten the screws—done! The whole process takes about ten minutes and saves you 200 bucks from a dealership visit. If you often drive in polluted areas, change it more frequently—every 15,000 km or once a year. Doing it yourself is satisfying and boosts engine performance. Wear old clothes to avoid getting dirty, and even beginners can handle it easily.
