Air Filter & Parts

Air Supply System Spare Parts for Passenger Vehicles A-Z Car Parts Halifax offers a comprehensive range of components for the engine air supply system. To ensure optimal combustion and engine longevity, the intake system must be sealed and efficient. We stock standard Air Filters, flexible Air Intake Pipes, vibration-damping Holders for Air Filter Housings, and tuning Performance Air Filters.

Function of the Air Supply Components The intake system is responsible for supplying clean, metered air to the engine cylinders.

• Air Filter: Removes dust, soot, sand, and abrasive particles from the intake air.

• Air Intake Pipe: Connects the air filter box to the throttle body or turbocharger, ensuring a sealed path for airflow.

• Holder, Air Filter Housing: Rubber buffers and brackets that secure the air box to the chassis, preventing vibration and noise.

• Performance Air Filter: Low-resistance filters (often cotton gauze) designed to increase air volume for higher engine power output.

Symptoms of Defects in the Air Intake System A failure in any part of the air supply assembly can lead to engine issues. Signs include:

• Loss of Power: Clogged filters restrict oxygen supply.

• Increased Fuel Consumption: The engine control unit (ECU) compensates for poor airflow by injecting more fuel.

• Rough Idling: Cracks in the Air Intake Pipe allow "unmetered air" to bypass the sensor.

• Rattling Noises: A worn Holder, Air Filter Housing causes the air box to vibrate against the engine bay.

• Check Engine Light: Often triggered by MAF sensor errors due to leaks or dirt.

Causes of Component Failure

• Air Filters: Natural clogging due to road debris and environmental dust.

• Intake Pipes: Thermal aging causing the rubber to become brittle and crack; mechanical damage from engine movement.

• Housing Holders: Rubber deterioration due to oil leaks or constant vibration.

• Performance Filters: Improper maintenance (cleaning and oiling) leading to saturation.

Replacement Intervals & Service

• Standard Air Filters: Recommended replacement every 15,000 km or annually.

• Intake Pipes & Holders: Check for cracks or play during every service. Replace immediately if damaged.

• Performance Filters: These are often washable. Clean every 30,000–50,000 km depending on driving conditions.
