GJLATZ Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Hello all, Can anyone pass on some tips/advice on cleaning a Green Filter? The filter's been in the car for approx 10 months now. Gaz
scouk Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) Cleaned mine just the other week... for the first time (Fitted around 15 months ago) First off get a cleaning kit: http://www.scoobyparts.com/acatalog/GREEN_...EANING_KIT.html Use a small soft brush and gently sweep out any debris/dead flies from the bottom of the filter Careful not to damage the filter itself!! Drissle the cleaning solution over the filter and leave to soack in for a few minutes then flush out with a trickle of warm water, possibly brush gently if the flush isn't abrasive enough.. Again careful not to damage the filter.. Do this at least once to clean the filter.. (I just needed a single clean for mine. Once celan allow to dry, use a hairdryer if necessary or leave near a radiator.. Once your sure it's dried out, spray the oil all over the "bottom" side of the filter, not too much!! Just enough to make it feel lightly greasy, shouldn't be dripping or gooyey! Leave it for a few hours or overnight to allow any excess to drip off (I left mine on a old newspaper overnight. Then Re-fit. Worked for me.. and no MAF errors or anything! Checked it all the other day and everything still look clean with no built up of greasy stuff on the MAF! So all is well!
