  • Replacing the engine intake air filter in Chevrolet Aveo (2011 European model) is a very simple maintenance task.
  • The replacement can be postponed further if you see that it is in fairly good condition. I change it every 15,000 km when I change the oil. I prefer not to rush it and I change everything on the same day.
  • We unscrew the four screws on the cover. it is not a matter of removing them, they remain in the plastic cover.

  • Loosen the screws, raise the cover and push it towards the front so that it doesn't strike the upper edge.
  • This leaves us with a perfect opening to be able to remove the filter.
