Cabin Filter Components - Air Box Components

996 - 2003 Coupe Model Carrera 2 Tip

 

Please could you help in showing me a diagram of both the cabin filter holder and the air box internal parts.  I have just been replacing the filters and there are two questions that I have:

 

1.    What's inside the box within the top half of the air box which it held down with three screws?  It's the box that is connected to the smaller pipe that runs towards the throttle body.  Is there anything inside that needs maintenance?

 

2.    Should there be a  cover of some sort to secure the cabin filter within its holder. I can see that there is a clip on one side of the cabin filter holder but when I pull it across to lock it over he edge of the filter over it does not hold anything down. At present the filter is just held in by pressure from the foam surround.  I either have the wrong filter or there is a part missing from the car.  I can make something with a zip (cable) ties as a temporary fix, but I would like to solve the mystery.   

 

Thanks for reading.

Thanks Loren - I should have looked harder.

 

It's good to know there is nothing missing from the cabin filter box. I thought there might have been a cover or some sort of surround. 

 

I'm OK with the air cleaner, it's just that I was wondering what was inside the box within the air filter which is held in with three screws.

 

Great site.  I wish more people would contribute.
