MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 2490 – For Passenger Cars

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 2490 is a high‑performance, OEM‑grade filter designed specifically for passenger cars such as the Peugeot 306 and Citroën Saxo. It delivers superior protection for your engine’s intake system by trapping dust, pollen, and other airborne contaminants while allowing optimal airflow.

Key Features

• Engine‑Grade Filtration: Uses a multi‑layer cellulose media that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm with an efficiency of up to 99.9%.
• Optimised Airflow: The filter’s geometry reduces pressure drop, ensuring the engine receives clean air without compromising performance.
• Durable Construction: Encased in a robust polypropylene housing that resists moisture and chemical degradation.
• Easy Installation: Fits directly into the existing intake manifold with no modifications required.
• Long‑Lasting Life: Designed to maintain filtration performance for up to 12,000 km under normal driving conditions.

Compatibility

The C 2490 is engineered for a range of models within the Peugeot and Citroën families. It is fully compatible with:

• Peugeot 306 (all variants: Cabriolet, 3‑door, 5‑door, Break)
• Citroën Saxo (S0, S1, 7B, N3, N5)
• Other vehicles that share the same intake manifold dimensions and airflow requirements.

Installation Guide

1. Locate the Intake Manifold: Open the hood and identify the air filter housing on the engine bay.
2. Remove the Old Filter: Unscrew or unclamp the housing cover, then gently lift out the worn filter.
3. Inspect the Housing: Clean any debris from the inside of the housing to ensure a proper seal.
4. Insert the New C 2490: Place the filter into the housing, aligning it with the mounting tabs.
5. Secure the Cover: Reattach the housing cover and tighten all fasteners evenly.
6. Check for Leaks: Verify that no air is escaping around the edges of the filter.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter every 6,000 km or after driving in dusty conditions.
• Avoid forcing the filter into a damaged housing; replace any cracked components first.
• Keep the surrounding area dry to prevent moisture buildup inside the filter.
