Diagnostics
For the DIY diagnosis it is necessary to remove the filter housing, which is often attached by clips or screws. Then you simply pull out the filter and inspect its condition.
Every 7000-8000 km check filter pollution. With a small level of contamination it can be gently shaken and blown. It is also necessary to check that the filter surface is dry. The presence of moisture or oil on the filter may be indicative of an oil leakage or damage to the radiator.
Replacement of the air filter
In case of even small damage to the filter material an immediate replacement of the part is required. If you notice a significant damage to the material during replacement, you should also check cylinders and pistons of the engine, because the dust in the combustion chamber can completely disable the internal combustion engine. Replacement of the air filter is carried out every 10 000-15 000 km.
Replacement of this element is one of the simplest repair actions that are carried out in the vehicle. Even without special knowledge and skills, this procedure takes only 10 minutes. Often the replacement is carried out during all scheduled inspections of the engine and cooling system.
