Maintenance work
Opel recommends replacing the filter insert every 30,000 km. This is sufficient under normal driving conditions; the insert is cleaned periodically.
On the other hand, when traveling on unpaved roads, despite frequent filter cleaning, replacement should be considered much earlier.
The intake air, in cars with a 16V 1.8 or 2.0 l engine, passes through the following units:
1 - upper part of the air filter housing;
2 - lower part of the air filter housing;
3 - Air filter air intake hose;
4 - hot-film air mass flow meter;
5 - Air filter air intake hose;
6 - air intake;
7 - resonator.
After loosening the clamps (arrows), the cover (2) can be removed from the lower part (1). The air filter insert (3) is now accessible.
