Title: 2003 Renault Scenic 1.6 service query
Post by: Webby the Bear on 04 August 2013, 18:28:42
Hi guys.

Got to service this POS tomorrow  :'(

to change spark plugs do I get that silver cover off... presumably it just pulls off?

and the air filter.... does it live in that box which is at the end of the intake snorkel?

Silver cover just pulls off carefully air filter is hidden further back than that box in photo that just lifts off air filter is a bit further back held in by two torx screws on the top a light and arms like a 10yr old helps  ;D

Yeah locking tool for cams and crank bit of a pig to do 60k sounds about right

Plugs and filter look pretty shagged,although those filters do seem to pick up a lot of crap anyway :y

That looks a hell of a gap on those plugs
