slicky Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 1st time DIY... Couldn't find engine air filter. Where is it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtoncd Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 As you are looking at the engine, look behind the battery for a rectangle black box. The filter is inside. If memory serves, there are two 10mm bolts that hold the cover on. I have had trouble with after-market filters not fitting well, but with the OEM filter I have never had an issue. YMMV.

Please help, I couldn't remove those 2 bolts out of the box, they kept turning. What should I do to get them out ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpa72 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Please help, I couldn't remove those 2 bolts out of the box, they kept turning. What should I do to get them out ? Thanks I replaced my air filter a few months ago and I seem to recall that these bolts are captive bolts in that they don't completely come out. Once they are loose, they will just spin. Am I wrong here boys and girls? I have four cars and tend to forget which feature is on which car. Have you tried loosening the bolts and then just lifting up the air cleaner box lid?
