How to Change the Air Filter on your 2007 Citroën C4 1.6 HDi

[@olis_garage]

When I saw this was a 17 minute long video I thought this was going to include a load of unnecessary steps but wow they really made replacing an air filter as difficult as possible!

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Man...the engineers from PSA Group didn't send a rocket to the moon, for sure...to change a air filter you have to dismantle half a car...eheheheheheh.

[@DrivewayDudes]

Luckily not all the PSA Group cars are as involved as this one

I’m old enough to remember the 1970s when changing an air filter could be done in one minute flat. But I suppose they’ve made progress since then. 🤪

[@Joarkb]

my first car a huyndai coupe 96 modell was a 1-2 minute job, this is just insane....

[@therealdougblueskies]

Grand job. are you going to come back and re-secure the diesel primer in another video?

[@christophernation4793]

Today I complained to the manger of my local Peugeot garage about this ridiculous fandango just to replace an air filter. He laughed and said "Why make something easy when you can make it complicated ?!" This is in France ... Seriously tho', some sort of consumer watchdog should get on to cases like this and forbid manufacturers from designing engines which result in an hour's labour just to change an air filter, a regular maintenance part. The vid is 17'.38" long with numerous speeded up sections. So you can bank on 25mins for a pro to do this and the same again in reverse - there's your 1 hr labour charge to do a 10 sec filter change.

[@Armanispice]

Great video, didn't realise it's such an awkward job, I'll stick to something Japanese next time 😂

I’ve got a C4 Picasso and can just about do it without removing the scuttle. Poor design though

[@allstairs8726]

Thanks for that, I just had a "full service" done to my C4, and I doubt very much that they changed the air filter seeing how pernickety it is, so I basically paid €246+VAT for an oil change 🙄

[@DrivewayDudes]

If a garage has a set price for a service and the air filter is part of that service then it would have to be done regardless of the time it would take. We show how you can do it yourself so if you have the time and don't mind a little challenge then it's fun and rewarding to be able to say "I did it myself"

[@ferrettable]

@@DrivewayDudes you showing how to doing it yourself very well indeed to but its out of my scope i have downloaded all your videos on the c4 they are great thank you

[@arniesbox]

@@DrivewayDudes " "If a garage has a set price for a service and the air filter is part of that service then it would have to be done regardless of the time it would take." And Citroen have made this such a ball-ache that I'd be surprised if even a Main Dealer would actually bother, let alone an Independent on the feathery edge of profitability. I'd go so far as to guess that every Citroen dealer and independent specialist has a dirty air filter on standby for if a customer says "show me the old part" for when they claim to have replaced it.... there must be thousands of C4s driving around with filthy 10yr old air filters. Disclaimer: I have one of these and am constantly amazed how 'kin complex Citroen have made even the simplest task; try taking the battery out, for example!!! .......
