[Mk2] [NA] Changing air filter help

Post by ste_brough »

Hi all,

I bought a generic air filter replacement from mr2 Ben, just gone to fit it and it is too deep to fit in the air box? Do I have it the wrong way round? I would assume the flat bit points down?

Help!

Usually the fins side of air filters sit inside the box on all cars I've done.
I don't have standard mr2 air filter to look at but.......

The air flow should go into the box, through the fins, out of the filter on the flat side and into the intake to throttle body tube, so you should be able the work it out.

Thanks for the response, yeah I figured as much as that is the only way it will fit. Just throws you when the filter you replace isn't the same.
