Replacing the cabin filter (Opel Corsa C)

1. The cabin filter is located in the space under the windshield behind the console section of the instrument panel and is designed to clean the air entering the cabin from dust, soot, pollen and spores. When operating in conditions of high dust and gas contamination of the air, the filter element should be replaced more often than specified in the maintenance schedule.

Note: Depending on the configuration, the vehicle may be equipped with a simple dust filter or a filter with carbon filling (dark filter fiber). When replacing, the new filter element must be of the same brand as the one being replaced.

2. On Corsa C models, to remove the filter element, remove the upper seal from the engine compartment bulkhead, lift the fairing grille (see accompanying illustration) sufficient to access the filter element, press the 2 latches and remove the filter element from the seat.



3. Installation is carried out in reverse order.

Note: When installing a new filter element, pay attention to which side it should be installed forward - the arrow indicates the direction of the incoming air flow (see accompanying illustration).

4. On Meriva models, remove the fairing grille, and if there is still not enough space, then also remove the engine compartment bulkhead cover (see Chapter 11). Release the cabin filter cover from the holders, turn it counterclockwise and remove it from the engine compartment (see accompanying illustration).



5. Turn the filter holders in the direction indicated by the arrows (see illustration 19.5a) and pull the filter out of the engine compartment (see illustration 19.5b).

19.5a. The arrows indicate the direction of rotation of the holders (5) of the cabin filter (meriva models)

19.5b. Pull out the filter in the direction indicated by the arrow (meriva models)

6. Installation is carried out in reverse order.
