Airbox Issue!

[Bodge!]

perhaps the most stupid question ive EVER asked on here!

got myself a itg panel filter to go in my car, but i cant seem to open the airbox.....

am i right in thinking its the odd shaped box next to the engine bay with the intake going to it?

Please help as i want to fit it!

Cheers

how the christ do i get into it!

not sure as i not needed to open mine, but usually a couple of screws or a couple of clips, then it pops open. slot the fliter back in and close it up.

sorry cant help anymore mate

These are for RS's, ignore them, lol.

Look at the throttle body, to the right of it the pipe goes from oval to rectangular. Theres 4 torx screws holding that bit onto the airbox at the back, undo them and youll see the filter inside.

Resonator comes off and two torx at the top and it pivots out? Mine was like that.

Thats it, couldnt remember if it was 2 torx or 4 torx holding it on! It's been a while!

You wont be able to get the actual airbox off byb the bulkhead without taking the expansion bottle off, you dont need to though so dont worry. Pull all the air feeds off before the rectangle shaped bit, undo the 2 torx bolts and the filters inside there.
