1.
Jack the car up (use stands!)
and remove the left wheel. The inner wing consists out of two parts: the
front and the back half.
It’s
only necessary to take of the front half.
|
|
|
|
2.
Near the shock absorber there
are two mushroom-shaped clips. They are two-pieced and they can be released
by pulling out the centerpiece.
The
photo shows number one…
|
|
|
|
3.
…and this is number two: on
your side of the shock absorber.
|
|
|
|
4.
The third mounting point is
under the bumper on the corner…
|
|
|
|
5.
…and the fourth one where the
spoiler stops.
|
|
|
|
6.
Take out the front half of the
inner wing and be careful of your paintjob doing this!
|
|
|
|
Note: Versions without
the air-condition option have this appendicle plug (second fan), which has
continuously runs current on the main lead. After a while it starts to look
green from copper oxidation. Clean it and put some Vaseline in/on it to
avoid problems in the future. (Don’t use a conducting grease like
copper-grease, which can short-cut the battery)

Anyway, this is how it looks
like with the inner wing removed. “Strangely” enough, as you can see, it’s not
the cleanest (or coolest for that matter) part of the car to suck air into
the engine, but the Peugeot took this place for being the air intake
anyway, like the Ford engineers did with (for instance) the Puma 1.7. This
is mainly done to create a reasonable intake-hose length (which is
structured on the inside) and takes air from out of the cramped engine-bay,
to cut down in intake noise, but at the same time it’s choking the engine.
This explains why the pick-up is slow from idle.

The top of the funnel is stuck
to the car with Velcro (!). Rip it loose and take the remaining square bit
out of the slot by pushing it upwards.
|
|
|
|
9.
The lower part of the funnel
is clipped onto the body at two places, but that does not mean you can take
it out right away: the fog-light is preventing that by sitting irritatingly
in the way.
|
|
|
|
10.
So, the next step is taking
out the left fog-light: Take the plug off by pushing in the steel wire
thingy…
|
|
|
|
11.
…take out the M6 bolt…
|
|
|
|
12.
…and unclip the fog-light out
of the bumper, by turning it upwards. This is a bit poorly designed because
it hits the inner bumper, almost preventing to take the foglight out.
After
a few strong words your mother doesn’t like you to say, the unit is out…
|
|
|
|
13.
…and hopefully still looks
like this J.
|
|
|
|
14.
Now you can easily take the
funnel downwards out of the wing.
|
|
|
|
Note: by the way, the
funnel is fixed to the duct by means of clips, but that doesn’t make any
difference in how to take the funnel out. I tried: I’ve put everything back
in, fog-light back in its place, but no go. Strange designing here…
Hook the fog-light
carefully back in its place and fix it with the M6 bolt.
|

Okay, in order to take the
remaining piece out now it’s time to remove the air-box. Open the bonnet,
and release the clip mounted over the pipe between the air-box and the
throttle-body.
If you want to change the air-filter, now is the
time to do so. Need any help with that?

16.
Take off the hose, which
connects the box to the intake-knee and pull out the air-box straight
upwards.
Now
you can take the intake duct out, by sliding it towards the center of the
car, out of the fork.
|
|
|
|
17.
If you car is equipped with
the battery cover, pull off the drain pipe from it
If you’re mounting a
Direct Induction Kit (K&N 57i, or equivalent) and you don’t need the
air-box hardware anymore either, so you can take out the air-box mounting
plate too:
|
|
|
|
18.
Pull off the loom which is
hooked into the mounting-plate, take out the M6 bolt, which is holding it
to the chassis…
|
|
|
|
19.
…and unhook the plate by
sliding it upwards until it releases and take it out from underneath the
car.
Note: Be careful not to hit the radiator!
|
|
|
|
20.
Since you can’t get the remaining
cage-nut out of the chassis (I tried and failed to do it neatly) and it
rattles when nothing is fixed to it, put the M6 bolt back mentioned in step
18.
|
|
|
|
21.
Do not forget to tie
the loom to the clutch wire (or in the case of RHD the hydraulic clutch
pipe) with help of a tie-wrap. The loom contains the wiring towards and
from the engine and thus important enough not to have it dangling under the
car.

22.
Put the wheel and the nuts
back using a torque-wrench:
90
Nm for steel wheels and 110 Nm for aluminum wheels and check it again after
500 km.
