Change Air Filter??
 

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a '03 9-3 SE and want to check/change the air filter.
Finding the Air Filter box was simple enough, but can anyone give instruction on how to remove the top half to get to the filter? I see one spring clip up near the front and it looks like several star pattern bolts that may take a special tool to loosen and remove. Any help would be much appreciated.

Look in your trunk...there should be a screwdriver that came with the car.

The bolts holding your air filter top on are called torx bolts. These are similar to hex (or allen) bolts, but have a star-type pattern. There is one bolt that is kind of hidden under a hose on the engine side of the box. You mayneed a flashlight to see the bolt heads.
