Hello to all Citroën fans.

Indeed I noticed that the air filter cover installed reveals the air filter on the left side. Which means that the cover is no longer airtight and lets air in (therefore too much air for the engine). I noticed that the filter I bought from Citroën is 2 mm higher!!!. My C3 dates from March 2015. It is the 1.6 VTI petrol engine of 120 hp DIN EN 4 cylinders obviously. Be careful, there is no point in insisting on screwing the plastic filter cover back on. There is a risk of damaging the thread!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE

Good morning,

I just reassembled with a new filter. but we can slightly see the filter seal on the left part of the air box as if it closed badly. Do you think this is normal?
