Air cleaner assembly — removal and refitting (Peugeot 106)

Removal

1. Slacken the retaining clips (where fitted) and disconnect the vacuum hose and breather hose from the front of the air cleaner housing-to-carburettor duct (see illustration). Where the crimped-type hose clips or ties are fitted, cut and discard them; replace them with standard worm-drive hose clips or new cable ties when refitting.



2. Slacken the retaining clips, then lift the duct off the top of the carburettor and air cleaner housing. Disconnect the air temperature control valve hose from the end of the duct and remove the duct from the engine compartment (see illustrations). Recover the rubber sealing ring from the top of the carburettor and/or air cleaner housing (as applicable).

3. Disconnect the intake duct from the front of the air cleaner housing and remove the air cleaner housing from the engine compartment.

4. To remove the intake duct assembly, drill out the rivets securing the duct to the crossmember, then release the fastener securing the rear of the duct to the cylinder head (see illustration). Disconnect the hot-air intake hose from the exhaust manifold shroud and remove the duct and hose assembly from the engine compartment.

Refitting

5. Refitting is a reversal of the removal procedure, noting the following points:

• a) Examine the rubber sealing ring for signs of damage or deterioration and if necessary renew. Note that, on some models, the carburettor seal is fitted with an O-ring; this should also be renewed if it is damaged.
• b) Ensure the air cleaner housing locating peg is correctly engaged with its mounting on the top of the transmission (see illustration).
• c) Prior to tightening the air cleaner-to-carburettor duct retaining clips, ensure the duct is correctly seated on both the air cleaner housing and carburettor flanges.
• d) Secure the duct to the crossmember (where removed) with new pop rivets.
