Step by step

6 steps
  1. Open the hood. Find the black plastic air filter housing on the right side of the engine (passenger side).
  2. Release the 4 plastic clips around the edge of the housing cover (at the corners and along the sides).
  3. Carefully lift the cover up. The rubber air intake hose will stay in place.
  4. Remove the old filter. Wipe out the inside of the housing with a clean, dry rag to remove dust and dirt.
  5. Install the new filter with the pleats facing up (the airflow direction is usually shown by an arrow on the housing).
  6. Close the cover and snap all 4 clips into place until they click. Make sure the cover sits tight against the housing.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Do not drive the Granta with a dirty filter or without a filter. Dust will get into the cylinders, speed up wear on the cylinder-piston group, and damage the MAF sensor (if equipped). When replacing the filter, make sure the new one is the right size. The 8-valve engine uses a standard size, but check the part number before you buy.
