man i must be retarded or something... how the hell do you take this thing off!?!?

 

On What motor...

 

Take out the dipstick and pull gently. It should come off rather easily, otherwise just give it a few wiggles while pulling gently.....replace the dipstick when your done, please.

 

hmm.. thats why haha! told ya im retarded bout to go try it. oh and its a 2.2L

 

Haha, same problem here. Never thought about the dipstick till I read about it here..

 

It's really that easy? I thought there were screws or something. So how is the thing connected? (2.4 but prolly the same design).

 

Remove the oil fill cap (dont drop it)

yank up on the cover on the right (passenger) rear and the left (drivers) front

side of the engine. You will see the rubber inserts on the under side of the cover

that press onto the little posts that stick up.

easy, no prab.

ok but now there is this thing and i dont know what it is... its connected to the engine somehow but i dont see why or where except the air filter. here is a pic

its not the engine cover itself. its the lower left part connected to the air filter. what is that?

 

Its held on there by two little posts... when you take off the oil cap, and take out the dipstick it should just slide off... It did on my 2.2 at least!

 

no no im not talking about the engine cover. i just took it off lol. the other thing. if you click on that link its connected to the engine and air filter. what is it?

 

The air box?

I take it you went and got an intake.

It's really easy...

remove the lid over the stock filter... the lower air box is a couple of bolts and a star bit screw... the rest is just held on with hose clamps...

get a wrench and a screw driver and go to town.



That might help.... that's after removal....

 

oh alright thanks. the intake will be on its way in a couple weeks. i thought that piece could come off... its ugly haha

 

Heh... that ugly front piece is part of the adapter for the throttle body... it sucks... kills airflow like mad... but yeah... ya' have to get an intake to replace it.

 

Hey cirrus I have the EXACT same cobalt as you, same color, and rims. I can't tell if yours is the LT, but that would be mine. Only difference is that I have the XM satellite reciever on the top and no sunroof

 

I believe his car is actually an '05 LS, which is equivalent to an '06 LT. I have one just like his/yours too, but no sunroof or XM.

 

Yeah, mine is the '06 LT. I definately love it though (especially the shade of blue).
