heres a quick how to on cleaning up the filter inside your dave.f (or similar)

1. pop bonnet
2. remove strut brace (if you have one, dont spend time looking for one if its not fitted)
3. unclip battery terminal from airbox
4. undo clip from intake hose and remove hose from airbox
5. undo the 2 torx screws at the front of the box
6. slide the lid of the box back and then up to remove the lid with the filter inside
7. take indoors and make a brew (its freezin oot)
you should be able to see all kinds of crap stuck to your filter




8. remove the jubilee clip securing the filter to the lid, place in the sink




9. get some of this, this is the cleaner, it helps dislodge all the junk yuove been inhaling, spray the filter liberally with this and let it soak in for 15-20 minutes


10. drink your brew

11. now rinse your filter from the inside with lukewarm water, you may need to speay again with the cleaner and repeat. when it looks clean..


12. once clean, leave the filter to dry naturally, mine was dried naturally in front of the wifes moving hairdryer

13. get this...


14. now oil your filter, run the bottle along all the ridges on the filter while squeezing a bit of oil, you dont need to overdo it, if you miss a spot, just go over it again, the oil is red in colour so its easy to see any missed bits




15. now refit the filter in the housing and put it back on the car, now you can breathe better go for a spin!
