2 Answers
The method for replacing the air filter in a Citroën is: 1. Pull the engine compartment lever located at the lower corner of the driver's side; 2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws on the engine cover; 3. Locate and replace the air filter. Taking the 2016 Citroën C-Quatre as an example, its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan, with body dimensions of: length 4588mm, width 1773mm, height 1486mm, wheelbase 2610mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The 2016 Citroën C-Quatre is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 117PS, maximum power of 86kW, maximum torque of 150Nm, and is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Replacing the Citroën air filter is actually quite simple, I've done it myself several times. First, open the engine hood; usually, the air filter box is located next to the engine and is a black plastic box. You might need a screwdriver to loosen screws or clips when opening it, depending on the model and year. After removing the old filter, clean out any dust inside the box to prevent clogging the new filter. Then place the new filter in, making sure the direction matches the arrow label. Finally, close the box and tighten the screws. I usually replace it every 15,000 kilometers to protect the engine and improve fuel efficiency. After the last replacement, the car started more smoothly, as a dirty air filter can affect air intake efficiency. The tools required are simple—just gloves and a screwdriver. You can find the matching Citroën part number in the manual or online. Remember not to throw the old filter directly into the trash; recycling is more eco-friendly. Always ensure the engine has cooled down before checking or replacing it.
