DIY: Air filter change & other maintenance on my preowned Tata Aria 4x4

This is the first vehicle where I have changed/repaired anything mechanical myself

BHPian AdityaDeane recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

So, had some repairs pending in the engine compartment, and Boodmo came to the rescue despite the delays in couriers after the recent floods and landslides in Himachal Pradesh.

The air filter was cracked and the duct pipe between the air filter and turbo also had developed a big crack near the turbo, hence changed both of these. Had a harrowing time with the self tightening clamp to connect the duct pipe with the Mass Air Flow Sensor, or whatever that connector is called.

BHPian AnuragIsaacRout's timely suggestion saved me so much time by replacing just the top half of my air filter box, and the lower half was in prefect shape, all the evident damages were on the upper half somehow. Thanks a ton brother!

This is the first vehicle where I have changed/repaired anything mechanical myself, I always used to rely only on garages and Authorised Service Centres for all such things, but living in a remote area with limited resources has made me a hands on guy, of sorts.

After receiving my sticker set last week, gave Saffira her 1st birthday gift in the guise of the Team BHP website link sticker today.

Hardly noticeable, but still present! The car needs a full body denting and painting job, before I can place other stickers on body panels, hence refrained from placing any other stickers at present.
