Where is the Air Filter in the Citroen Elysee?
1 Answers
The air filter of the Citroen Elysee is located above or on the right side of the engine. According to the vehicle's maintenance manual, the air filter should be replaced every 1-2 kilometers or during each maintenance interval. However, it is recommended to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the accumulation of sludge in the throttle. The function of the air filter: to filter out particulate impurities in the air, ensuring that sufficient clean air enters the cylinders, preventing floating dust from being sucked into the engine, which can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinders. Air filter: It is a type of filter, also known as an air cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms as an air filtration device. During operation, the engine needs to suck in a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the suspended dust in the air will be drawn into the cylinders, accelerating the wear of the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, which is particularly serious in dry and sandy working environments. The air cleaner is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. Dirty air filter: Using a dirty air filter while driving can cause insufficient air intake into the engine, leading to incomplete fuel combustion, resulting in unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is essential to keep the air filter clean. The car air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or several air-cleaning filter components. Its main function is to filter out harmful impurities from the air entering the cylinders to reduce early wear of the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Therefore, before air enters the cylinders, it must first pass through the fine filtration of the air filter. A dirty air filter can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When inspecting the air filter, if it is found to have minimal dust and light clogging, it can be cleaned by blowing compressed air from the inside out and reused. A severely dirty air filter should be replaced promptly.
