Air Box Removal...

[V15NEV]

Hello,

As discussed in previous threads i am looking to smooth my 1.4s airbox and then replace the filters with green panel filters...

I am having trouble getting the airbox/engine cover off... I have undone the two bolts on the top and then pulled it up... are there but it seems to be held on at the rear by something??? Are there any more screws/bolts or does it just need a good tug?

(Had a search earlier with no results) Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

cheers mate ... i'll give a good pull... does the air box just screw off the bottom of the engine cover?

 

[Adam R]

yea.... 13 blooming screws though

 

[V15NEV]

exactly thirteen - it must have pissed you off cos you've remembered how many there were lol!! gonna smooth the airbox out tommoro probably and clean the filters till i can get hold of some new ones...

Have you done this or do you have an induction kit?

 

[Adam R]

think its 13 or 14 screws.

TBH mate there isnt much to smooth off in there though.

i still have the standard airbox. cant be bothered to change to induction kit, plus the engine bay looks nicer with it in IMHO

not that there's much of an engine in there. I find that our engines look nice with the bonnet closed

Is there any diffrence between a induction kit for a 8V and one for a 16V? fitting wise?
