Replacing the air filter on Daewoo Nexia

Owners of a Daewoo Nexia must promptly replace car consumables so that the engine can operate without interruption and the power resource is preserved. If you promptly change the element that purifies the air entering the engine, then the windows will fog up less and the air in the cabin will be cleaner. Among other things, a dirty filter is a breeding ground for bacteria and germs, which gradually lead to respiratory diseases.

The article provides step-by-step instructions for replacing the air filter yourself, as well as information on how to choose the right filter and what is the frequency of its replacement.

Need for replacement

The air cleaning element is an important car consumable that requires timely replacement. So, according to statistics, a car consumes up to 15 cubic meters of air per 100 km. This air requires mandatory cleaning, otherwise dust and dirt will enter the engine. This will lead to breakdown, failure of the car’s power unit and the need to repair or replace the engine.

The replacement period for the Daewoo Nexia air filter, specified by the manufacturer, is 30 thousand kilometers. But the realities of Russian roads indicate the need to replace the filter after 15 thousand kilometers . A number of car owners change it at the same time as changing the oil, or every other time.

If the car is driven on rural roads that have not seen asphalt, after 6-8 thousand kilometers it is necessary to inspect the filter for its suitability for further use.

The functions of the air filter , in addition to purifying the air entering the engine, are a noise muffler and a temperature regulator for the combustible mixture (in gasoline engines).

As the cleaning element is used, it becomes clogged, which means its resistance to air flow increases, preventing a sufficient amount of air from entering the engine. The driver should pay attention to signs of the need to replace the filter , which are:

due to lack of air, the mixture becomes enriched and its combustion is incomplete;
engine power performance decreases;
the driver will be able to note increased fuel consumption;
increase in toxins in exhaust gases.

The air filter, which needs to be changed according to the deadlines specified in the maintenance regulations, or based on existing symptoms, will preserve the engine life and solve this problem.

Filter selection

How to choose the right air filter for Daewoo Nexia? To begin with, the driver should decide on two main characteristics of air filters - what type of structural element is required for the selected car model, as well as what cleaning material the filter is required from - paper, synthetics, etc.

So, according to the design , the cleaning elements are:

cylindrical;
panel;
frameless.

Material from which it is made:

cardboard;
synthetic fibers;
multi-layer gauze soaked in special oils (relevant for sports cars).

Air purifier for Daewoo Nexia

Having made a choice in favor of a specific filter (which ones are required for the Daewoo Nexia will be described later in the article), the driver takes out the filter already in the car and visually inspects it. Such actions are resorted to when the driver is not sure that it is time to change the air purifying element. If the filter is dirty and traces of oil can be seen, replacement is no longer delayed. With a clean filter you can continue driving. It is also worth focusing on the realities of the roads on which the car is driven. In highly dusty and sandy areas, it is necessary to change the part 2 times more often than specified.

Where is it located? The air filter on Daewoo Nexia cars is located to the left of the engine (if the driver is standing in front of the hood).

The housing is located to the left of the vehicle's power unit

The housing is secured by three supports; inside there is filter material in the form of a flat rectangular shape. Special pipes are attached to the body through which air is supplied to the engine.

How to change the air filter on a Daewoo Nexia?

If you change the air filter in your Daewoo Nexia car correctly and on time, the engine will run without interruption, and its service life will increase significantly. In addition, the air in the cabin will become much cleaner, the stove will work better and the windows will stop fogging up. Also, do not forget that a dirty filter is a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.

The period for replacing an air purifier for any car is individual and depends on the conditions in which the car is operated.

If you mainly drive around the city, on clean and dust-free roads, then you need to change it every 15,000-20,000 kilometers.

But if the car is driven on unpaved rural roads, then it is better to reduce the replacement period to 6000-8000 kilometers.

Air purifier for Daewoo Nexia

The air barrier on the Daewoo Nexia is needed to purify the air that is supplied to the power unit during operation. A conventional air purifier is a layer of special paper, which is folded like an accordion and placed in a plastic rectangular case.

A working air barrier is capable of trapping even the smallest particles in the air, but with prolonged use it becomes clogged and its capacity is reduced. Subsequently, this can lead to a decrease in power and interruptions in its operation. To prevent this from happening, you need to change the air purifier in a timely manner. The process is very simple and any car enthusiast can handle it.

Air filter location

The air filter in the Daewoo Nexia is located to the left of the engine when standing in front of the hood.

The box is located to the left of the engine

The body is supported by three supports. There is filter material inside the housing. The filter element has a flat rectangular shape and has a large filtration surface.

Special tubes are connected to the body through which air is supplied.

Replacement instructions

Replacing the air barrier is probably the simplest job in car servicing and will take no more than 15-20 minutes even for an inexperienced car enthusiast.

Tools

To change the air purifier on a Daewoo Nexia car, we do not need any special tools, just a regular screwdriver, the barrier itself and an old clean rag.

Stages

The first step is to park the car on a flat surface. When we open the hood, the filter box is located to the left of the engine in the corner.
There is a sensor on the cover. To disconnect it, you need to lift the latch.
Next, disconnect the intake air duct by slightly loosening the clamp securing it.
We unclip the four latches on the box lid.
Let's take it off.
We remove the old filter element.
We wipe the box with a rag.
We install a new one.
We put the cover on and snap the latches.
We connect all the pipes and secure them.

Location of the box Raise the clamp Unscrew the bolt on the clamp Unsnap the clamps Take out the old element Wipe the installation site of the new one with a clean rag

At this point the replacement process can be considered complete. Everything is very simple and there is no point in delaying replacement, because this may damage the components and systems of the power unit.

Useful tips

If you want your car's engine to work long and smoothly, then listen to some recommendations from experienced car owners.

Sometimes you need to remove the filter and clean it of accumulated dust and dirt. To do this, just shake it or blow it with compressed air. Important! This is done in the opposite direction to air movement when the filter element is installed on the engine.
Inspect the filter occasionally in order to promptly identify possible damage, cracks, abrasions, or simply heavy contamination. If such malfunctions are detected, immediately replace the barrier.
During replacement, be sure to clean the inner surface of the case from any dirt and dust that has settled on its walls.
You cannot start the engine if the filter housing is removed or if the filter element is removed from it. This may result in dust particles and dirt entering the cylinders of the power unit and subsequent failure of these components.
If the machine is operated in a very dusty area, the filters need to be changed more often.

Fram CA5371 (Germany).

After 10 thousand kilometers, the filter on the Daewoo Nexia has 8 valves, as well as on the Daewoo Nexia 16 valves, it is necessary to inspect whether replacement is required.

Consequences of untimely replacement

You should not ignore the importance of the air filter, as you can damage the car’s power unit. What are the consequences of such actions?

At first the car will lose its power . This is directly related to the fact that the filter walls are dirty, which means the amount of air that can enter the cylinders is reduced. This will lead to poor fuel combustion and a rich mixture. The result is increased fuel consumption and reduced engine efficiency.

The next stage and the consequence of untimely replacement is that the engine will start worse , the instability of idle speed , leading to a rapid increase in gasoline consumption.

Ultimately, dirt, dust, and grains of sand will accumulate on the walls of the filter, entering the cylinder block and scratching its walls . This leads to poor sliding, depressurization of the combustion chamber , loss of compression and power of the power unit.

The end result is that the rings will become unusable and the engine will require major overhaul . But it is worth noting that drivers rarely bring the situation to a critical point, and as soon as the car starts to have trouble starting, they immediately change a consumable such as the air filter.

Tips for the driver

To ensure that the car runs smoothly, experienced car owners give practical advice that is worth listening to:

The filter element must be periodically removed from the box and inspected. You can extend its service life by simply shaking the filter, which will clean it of dust and small particles of sand, dirt, etc.;
It is also necessary to inspect the filter before the time specified in the regulations or technical passport in order to promptly identify problems such as damage, cracks, severe contamination, and abrasions. If problems of this kind are detected, the cleaning part is replaced;
during replacement work, it is necessary to clean the housing from dust and dirt that has settled on it;
It is unacceptable to start a car if the housing with a filter has been removed from it or if there is no cleaning element in the box, since dust and small particles of dirt get into the engine cylinders, which subsequently leads to system failure;
Change filters more often if the car is used in dusty areas.

By following these tips, you can avoid unplanned repairs and breakdowns.

Useful tips

Between scheduled air filter replacements, it is worth periodically removing the filter element and cleaning it from accumulated dust and dirt. It can be shaken vigorously and blown with compressed air, doing this in the opposite direction of air flow when the filter is installed on the engine.
Constant monitoring of the condition of the air filter filter element between replacements will allow you to promptly detect the presence of possible damage, cracks, ruptures, or simply severe contamination. If you find any malfunctions of this kind, the air filter element will require early replacement.
When replacing the filter element, be sure to clean the inside of the air filter housing; it should be wiped with a clean rag to remove dirt and dust.
Do not start the engine with the air filter housing removed or with no filter element in it. This can result in contaminated air containing dirt and dust particles entering the engine cylinders unpurified. Which in turn can cause rapid wear of the components of the motor group.
Under difficult operating conditions of the vehicle, for example, in heavily dusty areas, the filter element will require more frequent replacement.
When removing the filter element from the housing, you will have to unfasten the spring latches attached to the plastic parts. Over time, the material may become outdated, which will lead to breakdown, be careful.
