Necessary materials:
- depending on the configuration, an anti-dust filter or a combined one.
Attention! Cars with air conditioning are equipped with an anti-dust filter. On vehicles with air conditioning up to 8/98 (by identification number ***101993) instead of an anti-dust filter, an activated carbon filter and an additional anti-dust filter are installed. These filters are changed after 50,000 kilometers or after 4 years of operation for a combined filter. Before this period, only the dust filter is changed. After installation of the combined filter, its replacement is carried out in the same terms as on models originally equipped with a combined filter with air conditioning from 9/99. The procedure for replacing the dust filter, activated carbon filter and combined filter is the same, so they are not subdivided in the text below, but are referred to as a filter.
Removing
1. Remove the cover over air inlet 1 by unscrewing the four screws (see arrows in illustration) and pulling it out of the top rails. At the same time, lower the hood slightly.
2. Displace fairing 2 by unscrewing three bolts 4 and one bolt 5 at the top on the left and right sides (see illustration). Raise the fairing slightly up, but do not remove.
3. Remove the replaceable filter element 3, holding it by the ribs, from the housing and remove it through the hole between the partition of the engine compartment and the fairing (see illustration).
Attention! The dust filter cartridge must not be cleaned. It must be replaced with a new one.
Installation
4. Install a new replacement element into the dust filter housing. The arrow on the replacement element must point downwards when installing it.
Attention! Due to the fact that the layer of activated carbon on the combined filter absorbs moisture, the combined cabin filter should not be installed on cars without air conditioning, because in this case the windows will fog up.
5. Replace fairing.
6. Replace the air intake cover.
Replacing the activated carbon filter with a combination filter
7. Remove the dust filter together with the frame.
8. Remove the activated carbon filter.
9. Install combination filter. The old frame is not needed for this filter.
