Air Filter housing

Can any one advise if there is an O ring or seal at the bottom of the air filter housing having removed the bottom of the housing I cannot see one.

I cannot find a part number for it either, the dealer tells me I have to replace the whole unit at £200 +

Thanks

Hi David, welcome to the A2oc

Double check this but I'm sure the only critical seals are made by the soft rubber flanges on the ends of the filter element.
Dirty air enters the filter housing and passes from the outer to inner face of the element. The (removable) bottom plate therefore does not need an airtight seal to the housing - it just needs to hold the filter firmly in position, as any air leakage will just enter the housing before going through the filter.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers Spike
 
Many thanks John
I am going to have a word with the dealer who gave the advise which I have in writing from them. They just cannot be trusted
Many thanks
David
