Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Air filter on Logan

This is a thread that may be useful for the english speakers - I found it most useful myself: the Logans (at least those sold in Romania) don't have an air filter, and as a direct result, you may get a lot of dust and even leaves in the car. here are the two topics in Romanian where this problem was discussed (useful for the pictures - you can see various solutions there): http://www.daciaclub.ro/index.php?showtopic=13164 http://www.daciaclub.ro/index.php?showtopic=11210 The main problem is that the air inlet is just below the right wiper - in an impossible position (your hand probably won't fit there - maybe if you have kids they can help). As filter, you can use the air filters that you tipically find in a canopy (the thing that is over the cooking machine in your kitchen). It will be problematic how to stick them to the air inlet - one of the solutions I liked most (not the one I used, unfortunatelly) is to glue an "arici *" around it. After this, you should be able to simple stick the air filter to the 'arici' *arici = sorry, I couldn't find the english word, it's that stuff used in some sport shoes insteaf of shoe laces - the one made of many tiny plastic hooks. P.S. Here is a topic where someone is selling framed filters that are supposed to fit perfectly (you just place the frame over the air inlet) for 300k lei (~9 euro). It has two filter layers + some active carbon (hope I got the translation right ), it is supposed to also eliminate the odours. A word of caution: you need to increase ventilation power in order to get the same level of air flow (~ +1 level). http://www.daciaclub.ro/index.php?showtopic=20224 That 'someone' is only selling in Bucharest.... but if any of you are interested, maybe we can figure out a solution (in particular - Boris, I will probably be in Zagreb ~ 14 July, evening) This post has been edited by vv: 28 Jun 2005, 08:38
