The process for replacing the air filter in the Lavida: 1. Prepare a Phillips screwdriver and a new air filter; 2. Open the engine compartment hood and remove the outer shell of the engine box, which has a total of nine screws; 3. After removing the shell, you will see the old air filter, which can then be replaced with the new one; 4. Reassemble the parts, ensuring that all screws are tightened properly to avoid any abnormal noises. The air filter is a simple filtration device that prevents dust from entering the cylinders, ensuring that only clean air reaches them. The Lavida's body dimensions are 4541mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1488mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. In terms of power, the Lavida is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 1.2T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85 kW (116 horsepower) and a maximum torque of 200 Nm.
I've changed the air filter several times myself, and it's particularly easy to operate on the Lavida. Open the hood, and you'll see a black rectangular box near the windshield—that's the filter housing. Use a screwdriver or your hand to loosen the small screws on the cover, then gently lift the cover without using too much force. Inside is the old filter; take it out and inspect it. If it's dirty and full of dust, just throw it away. Before installing the new filter, remember to wipe the inside of the housing with a damp cloth to remove debris and prevent dust clogging. Then place the new filter in, making sure it's aligned properly at the edges—if it's crooked, the cover won't fit. Finally, reattach the cover and tighten the screws to secure it. Start the engine and listen for smooth operation without any unusual noises, and you're done. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. Once you're familiar with it, changing it every 5,000 kilometers saves money and hassle.
