How To: AIR FILTER change, removal, replacement 1.6 HDi Peugeot Citroen

[@cupboardcooking3690]

I don't think you were kidding when you said take the engine out. that's a lot of work to change an air filter. WOW.

[@PiggyPower]

Yeah it's horrendous

[@nelsonthekinger]

Thank you so much for this! It is a bit of a nightmare comparing with other motors, so I appreciated very much!!

[@PiggyPower]

Right pig in certain cars/vans. Some easier. Have to have patience!

[@matb5368]

Great video... gave me the confidence to do it myself. But happily the 308 eHDi '62 plate, is even easier. No need to remove the air tubes, I just shifted the brake fluid reservoir and removed the engine cover and the 3 screws are very easy to access, forward of the windscreen gutter. A 15 min job😊

[@PiggyPower]

Yeah different cars/vans have much better or worse access. Still I don't know why it's back there tho

[@neilaxtell5828]

So, so helpful before I attempted this. On the previous 3008 1.6 HDI engine the air filter sat nicely at the side. Whatever made them think moving to the BACK of the engine was a good idea is quite beyond me!

[@PiggyPower]

Yup. Absolutely bonkers! Thanks for watching and commenting 👌👌

French motors for you mate!!!!

[@eldedocallejero]

Por fin gracias a tu video pude sacar ese maldito filtro 🤣 Es un dolor de cabeza para quien no es un experto. Pero con este video pude hacerlo en casa y ahorrar dinero, agradezco tu ayuda, saludos desde chile

[@PiggyPower]

Eh eh?

[@leeyo5494]

hey dude whats that flexible clamp screwdriver type thing you used called to undo the back clamp

[@PiggyPower]

Jubilee driver, hose clamp driver... eBay/Google that should get you there.

Great video make it look so easy for me nightmares to hard I think I leave it what a silly hard place they have put it🤣

[@PiggyPower]

It's silly in the car .. genius on the production line. But please don't just leave it 😥 maybe the guy before you did the same? Be all clogged up!

[@espensund2878]

Thank you for the tutorial👍🏻 I replaced the air filter today, and "cheated" by looking at your video 😅

[@PiggyPower]

That's not a cheat, that's shrewd and wise! 👌🐷

[@jorgepintomonteiro6848]

Ah, yes. PSA engineers are the ultimate trolls

[@PiggyPower]

Yes true 🤣👍

@@PiggyPower I was going to do it myself.them I saw the video. Needless to say, I quit the idea 😁

[@Loftikaz]

Did mine today took 5min it was 2016 picasso with hdiblue, the clearance was enough to remove the cover and swap filter.

[@PiggyPower]

Picasso has more room than the vans 👍👍🐖

[@luwn00bz]

Thank you, it's helpful when you explain other details on the way

[@PiggyPower]

No worries 🐷👌

[@luwn00bz]

@@PiggyPower I have oil leak from the tube before turbo. It's quite lose. I think it's not that serious, rather just annoying?

[@PiggyPower]

@@luwn00bz very common, replace pipe and the O rings/seals. But check it's from there and not a puffing injector 👌

[@luwn00bz]

@@PiggyPower Thanks for the tip, again! I did check the injectors and they look fine.

[@Loftikaz]

is it normal inside the air pipes you removed, when you dip your finger there's like black grease or oil ?

[@PiggyPower]

Shouldn't really get any significant amounts of oil, no. A little not abnormal on higher mileage

[@whatsgoingon3822]

I Will not be bothering changing the air filter

[@PiggyPower]

Haha... Many don't because it's difficult and it becomes an issue for the engine and turbo down the line

[@davisscott8499]

Very nice and easy to understand video thanks

Great video piggy power, looked a bit awkward to change 👌👍😀

Absolutely Tonka truck of a job

[@Telstar_1]

Excellent and clear DIY, thanks. I need to do this on my wife's car.

[@PiggyPower]

You're welcome 🐖👍

[@IanBTyrer]

This is a 10 minute DIY job (with just a screwdriver) according to K & N?

[@PiggyPower]

K&N also promise improved performance from their filter.... .... .... ....hmmm

[@RubbishBikeVideos]

At the start of the video when you undo the clip then take off the intake pipe and say "you vehicle might be missing this, its common to be gone" are you referring to the clip or the whole pipe? Ive bought an old berlingo thats supposibly just had the filters changed, but the whole pipe is missing and im worried! It seems to drive and sound fine. Thanks.

[@PiggyPower]

The whole thing. It will make a difference though as without it, the engine is sucking in hot air from the engine bay, the pipe allows the engine to breathe fresh air 👍👍🐷

[@RubbishBikeVideos]

@@PiggyPower I'll get it sorted ASAP then. Thank you so much for your help it's really appreciated.

[@arthurpanko212]

You explained everything very well, but I have just one question: what is this filter called? I ordered one, but as I understand, it won't fit.

[@PiggyPower]

See title ... AIR FILTER

[@arthurpanko212]

@@PiggyPower There is no filter name written there, or maybe you could tell me where I can find this information. It wasn't in the car's manual, and I have exactly the same car as in the video.

[@PiggyPower]

See title, AIR FILTER! It's the air filter. There's no other words. Use a registration check with motor factors

[@arthurpanko212]

@@PiggyPower I see that this is an air filter from Mann for the engine. I am asking what the part number of this filter is.

[@PiggyPower]

No idea. Ring a part supplier with your reg 👍🐖

[@nelsonthekinger]

Buddy can you share a amazon link for that electric tool? I couldn't find it 😢 or the name of the tool?

[@nelsonthekinger]

I think it is called: electric ratchet wrench??

[@PiggyPower]

It's a Milwaukee. Quite expensive for a DIY'r to be honest. You'll be fine with a standard ratchet for this job 👌🐷

[@nelsonthekinger]

@@PiggyPower Hi there Piggy, thanks for the advice 👍 cheers

[@stuarthatton1973]

thanks for posting this video , it was a great help 👍

[@BlackCat-on6jn]

I did a mod to the engine by rotated 180' I can change the air filter very easy now.

[@PiggyPower]

You rotated the engine 180°?... So it's upside down now? 😲

[@nelsonthekinger]

@@PiggyPower Maybe it was 180º in the Z axis, if it makes any sense :|

[@PiggyPower]

@@nelsonthekinger the Z axis?

[@nelsonthekinger]

@@PiggyPower yeah like a 180° over the Z axis. Z axis would be perpendicular to the ground. But probably doesn't make sense!

[@nelsonthekinger]

[@markm49]

This is a joke - talk about making as hard as they can to change. Thanks for the video.

[@PiggyPower]

Yeah, I don't know of any other air filters which are remotely as tricky to replace. Mental

[@Cyderpunk]

I'm trying to get the egr valve out. Can I do it without taking the air filter out? Thanks.

[@PiggyPower]

I very much doubt it!! You need to get a lot of stuff out to remove the egr. Air filter is likely one of the first things

[@roberthamilton2334]

Cheers piggy power 🐷

[@PiggyPower]

You're welcome 🐷👍

[@silversleeve.]

Just got a berlingo, battery was dead , just thought I'd jump start it .Nope ! Start taking apart a battery cover just for that. Then a friend of mine told be the air filters are always clogging, so I thought I'd check that out give quick clean with the air , didn't think I'd have to take a day off work to do that . But here I am .

[@PiggyPower]

Yeah. Dang. I'd be surprised if even a heavily clogged air filter would prevent starting, low power yes, but not fail to start. Is it turning over quickly? - yes, not the battery or starter. Is there fuel in the tank?- yes, move on to checking if it's injecting fuel. (Exhaust smoke and indicator)... Might be better plugging in some diagnostic equipment however as it's likely the ECU doesn't like something and is thus not starting the injection.

[@silversleeve.]

@@PiggyPower yeah it was the battery, just got a new one , the van was sitting up for a while and not been serviced in a while . Just needs some tlc . But compared to other vechiles I've worked with this is the most confusing for ease of access.

[@PiggyPower]

Modern=pain to work on. Glad you sorted it with the battery. Battery's don't like sitting for long.

[@Nick-b7b9s]

" and then take the engine out" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@emilcojocariu3514]

How do you get the box out?

[@PiggyPower]

I show every step in the video. 🐷👍

[@davepangolin4996]

When I use the heater in my 07 Berlingo it is warm but the smell is of engine … cold blower doesn’t smell .., would this be the filter ? Thanks

[@PiggyPower]

Air travels from the same source if warm or cold. I'd suggest your heater matrix is either leaky or mouldy

[@davepangolin4996]

Thanks for the reply 👍
