OK, I am do for a new air filter and need a little laymens help to get this done. I figured while I was doing this I might as well desnorkel this baby. I found the desnok instructions, but can't seem to find out how to replace the air filter. Any help here would be much appreciated.

 

The air filter is under the engine cover inside the car on the drivers side.

 

Thanks. Is this an easy 5 minute job, or a real *** pain on the filter change?

 

It is relatively easy. You should log onto www.caymanclub.net

They have many great articles for DIY activities like this!

 

Maybe this will work: http://www.caymanclub.net/reviews/sh...duct=12&cat=10

 

Thanks. I will probably desnorkel and air filter Friday and drive on Saturday!

 

Wow, what a pain in the crotch! Anybody that read this post needs to know that the engin cover is behind the roll bar, and under where the top stores, not behind the seats! There is a engine cover behind the seats as well, but it gets you to the serpentine belt only! All of this to change the filter! next time I will trade it in on a new one with a new filter!

 

where the top stores? are you talking about a boxster or cayman? I did the desnork and got to the airfilter in an hour tops. airfilter took some wrestling, but wasnt that hard on my cayman S

 

Definitely wasn't hard either....

 

On a boxster. The Cayman is easy because you can get to the engine cover, on the boxter you have the roll bar, storage compartment, and top to contend with. Trust me, it's a pain in the nuts! I did de-snork at the same time though, and that took about 1 minute!

 

glad you got it done!
