Air Filter Location?
« on: 14 October 2008, 21:07:47 »
A silly question I know, but where is the air filter located in the engine compartment of the miggy please?

Now there is not the old "frying pan" unit on top of the engine for it I am lost as to where to find it? ::) ::) ::) ::)



I have already located the pollen, oil and fuel filters 8-) 8-) 8-), so this one has left me stumped! ::) ::)

Many thanks!! :y

They have had clips on all my Omegas, but as said its the big black square box at the front drivers side of the engine bay.

Some have torx screws, some have quick release clips.

Yes indeed Andy, Vx Main Dealer Patchway Motors, Bristol, as I had good money then and was professionally too busy to do simple servicing so just left my car with the professionals to pick up later in the day! .........What luxury!! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) :D ;)

I still replaced the fuel tank on it though, and various lights / bulbs myself. :y
