Air Filter change

Fleckers · 12th April 2008, 07:27

Morning

Anyone ever changed the Air filter on a MG ZT-T V8 ?

Big Job ?
Easy job ?

Any instructions, just done a search and can not find any

Cheers

i can remember pic posts from keith on how big the filter was, so try searching on him specifically as he seems to pull apart every vehicle he owns?

I can't find any info on air filters for V8. Suggest you ask the experts.

I think it's a bumper off job ?

can be done without removing the bumper

there is a flap on the engine undertray that can be dropped- but its as much mess as removing the bumper.

Definately easier with the bumper off tho, when i tried to do mine, i undone everything that needed to be done to take the bumper off but it wouldn't come off, not wanting to break anything i didn't want to be forceful so went the other way from under the car removing the flap as Black olive said. But can take a while because of the restricted space.

Filter, horn, check water bottle for split in neck, fan resistor, good clean, filter neck can become loose at joint so check that, and might want to swap the fake side vents for wire mesh.
