- We had a rough idle and a google search suggested cleaning the MultiAir filter. It is a mesh screen that is prone to clogging up.

This in only video I found where engine mount was not removed to access this part. Less complicated but would make accessing the filter easier in the end.
Hi! That’s awesome that made such a difference! Need to do this as completed a full service but still have a slight rough idle. Thanks for the help!
Watch my video on cleaning the turbo banjo bolt!! I will save your turbo
@@TheEddysGarage Wicked! will do that now!
Hi there, have you noticed a difference on Idle? I'm having a rough and shaky behavior in low rpms. It gets better above 2500rpm, but it feels really ugly under that range.
@@rastapaez3992 you should clean your throttle body as well
@@rastapaez3992replace the engine mount on the passenger side.
Carb cleaner is much cheaper than mass air cleaner and it will do the same job. I would also recommend replacing with a new one after two or three oil changes. Just my .02
MAF cleaner is cheaper if you already have it like I did 🤣
My renegade 1.4 l is t 64k miles. I think i should do this. Looks easy enough..
It’s super easy and can save your turbo.
@@TheEddysGarage what does it have to do with the turbo exactly?
@@a_storm_inside7026 the oil line provides oil to the turbo to lubricate it and keep it cool. Without it the turbo will stop spinning, blow up and send metal through your intake and engine. Kind of important.
@TheEddysGarage I get that.. I just got confused because I read that this filter is to filter out contaminates from getting into the multi air system.. it didn't say anything about the turbo. So I'm assuming this filter is in-line with the turbo oil lines?
@@a_storm_inside7026 sorry I was mixud up between this and my video on the banjo bolt filter on the turbo. clean that on as well. here is the video. czcams.com/video/0BG_vo6PyhA/video.htmlsi=1SaES7HaK2PHba2s
Thanks U helps me a lot 😊

Hello my Friend.
We are not interested in how it works inside there, but given that this engine has a serious design flaw, namely, it does not start after a long stop (more than 2 weeks) despite the operable kinematics of the control of valves by the Multiair module due to oil leakage from the module and the formation of air pockets in it. This disadvantage is exacerbated by the traditionally high oil consumption in this engine and the user can actually miss the critical moment of adding oil to the engine. In my case, this happened, the oil level dropped, when braking or tilting the car through the suction pipe, air got into the oil system (Multiair module hydraulics sistem) from the crankcase and the engine stopped. After topping up the oil, attempts to start the engine were unsuccessful. At the same time, compression and spark in all cylinders disappeared in the engine. The last oil 5W40 change was - 8000 km. back. The filt Multiair module er turned out to be clean, the mileage of the car is 960,000 km., the condition of the engine is good.
Questions:
1. How can I bleed the Multiair module and remove air from it?
2. What is the luMultiair module brication scheme.
3. Why is there a small ball valve on the , from Multiair module he top under the filler neck? what is its function? Some experts in Utah advise pouring 240-280 ml through it into the Multiair module oil and then try to start the engine againe. I tried topping up, but nothing came of it, because the hole (1 mm) is very small.
Senserly yours.

960,000km!! Is it a taxi or something? Sorry to hear about your problems but best to get a specialist mechanic to check it out . Probably easier to replace the engine than to fix everything but your mechanic will advise you.
Hello is there an official torque setting for this oil strainer
I couldn’t find one but it isn’t very tight
Hi thanks for the video! really nice and clear explanation. do u need to drain the old oil first before u clean this?
Yes I did it with an oil change
@@TheEddysGarage But is it mandatory, i.e. can it be done without changing the oil at the same time?
@@TR-sn3ji you can do it whenever. Remember some oil comes out.
i wonder if this process would work for a u.s. version abarth?
100% if it is the MultiAir
@@TheEddysGarage Thank you from a 124 owner. Wish there were more on the MultiAir, as clear as your explanation. I need to do a six-year service and want my little bug to live forever.
Does the position of the timing belt tells you it is time for a replacement or there is nothing to worry about?
I have Chrysler Delta (rebranded Lancia)
and timing belt looks exactly the same (not in the middle of a camshaft pulley) the car is almost 11years old with 67k miles.
Many thanks!
Has nothing to do with the timing belt. It’s just another oil filter
Damn that thing was dirty, I just changed mine with 172k miles on it and it almost looked like the brand new one I swapped it with. Yours was really discolored and the screen had a bunch of stuff on it!
How many miles/kilometers is that recommended? My 1.4 turbo Dart has 72,000 miles.
Every other or 3rd oil change so yours is waaayy overdue.
Hello, can I use brake cleaner instead? Or another product to clean this filter?
That would be fine. Remember a drop of locktite if yours is all gone
Do you happen to know the size of that O-ring seal? I want to clean out my filter but not comfortable using the same worn out O-Ring
Not sure sorry but get a pack of different sizes on Amazon for cheap
@@TheEddysGarage Any special kind to withstand the heat of the engine or just cheapest ones I can find? Thanks
@@Moby41 get some that are oil/petroleum safe
@@TheEddysGarage Damn that was easier to find and cheaper than I thought 😅 I already ordered a brand new micro filter a few days ago.
Should I change the whole filter now or give my old one a clean and use that? (assuming the screen is in good condition) Bought the car a few days ago with 140k km on the clock. Thanks!
Can I clean this filter without oil change? Or only during oil change???
I’m sure you can but it’s good to get it part of the routine
How often is it recommended to do this cleaning process ? after how many kilometers ?
I started doing it at every oil change. It’s easier to clean it than replacing the MultiAir unit
Hi Eddie, my Alfa Romeo mito multi air has an engine fault reading actuator blocked, is that related to the filter you are changing here?
Not sure mate but it only takes a minute to get this out and cleaned
do u guys change it or a clean is just fine?
It cleaned up fine but some are so clogged they need to be replaced
is that filter made from plastic ?
It is metal
I religiously change my oil & filter every 5000 miles. The Renegade has 99,000 miles and runs great. Does this job need to be done?
I would suggest you check it out when you do your next oil change as well as the turbo banjo bolt filter in our other video
@@TheEddysGarage this filter? does it affects mpg? I noticed my renegade drops its mpg from 37 to 27mpg although the timely change oil and air filter change, it is a 1.4L turbo petrol too. do you have some idea? it only got 35K in the odometer. thank you.
@@bathanmark not sure sorry. A efficiency drop like that would probably be from driving style among other things (tire pressure, fuel quality). Coast more and watch some hypermile videos for tips. My car is a hot hatch so it’s all ways in sport mode and driven hard.
@@bathanmark maybe you have a problem with your MultiAir system
E' facile sostituire questo filtro nella Renegade 1.4 Multiair oppure vanno smontati altri componenti? Grazie!
141k miles and I have never seen this thing. Oh boy
and check my video cleaning the banjo bolt filter on the turbo oil feed line too!! czcams.com/video/0BG_vo6PyhA/video.html
Čemu služi taj filter?
? English please
Did u clean it with brake cleaner?
I used MAF cleaner because that’s what I had handy.
@@TheEddysGarage if i use brake cleaner you think its okay?:) cheers
@@mixalism4529 it is a metal filter so brake cleaner is fine. Neither are good for you so wear gloves, eye protection and do it in a well vented area. Remember a bit of thread locker when putting it back
@@TheEddysGarage thread locker which you mean?
That blue think i have to do something?
Did you forget to use thread lock or just forget to record that step ?
Just didn’t record it but I do mention it
@@TheEddysGarage sorry thats what i meant, i heard you mention it and said ill show you that later, but then you missed that step.
I know how to apply and use thread lock but can i ask which thread lock is correct ? Ive seen loctite 242 blue extra strong, will that be ok ? Thanks
@@martiangod that stock blue stock stuff is pretty weak (seems like a thread sealer) so only a drop should do it.
@@TheEddysGarage thanks
@@martiangod no problem. I’m just looking into another oil filter screen on the inlet of the oil feed line to the turbo. I’ll do a video on that as soon as my replacement Union bolt and washers arrive.
I hate these engines. My Chrysler 200 hasn't had it cleaned because I didn't know it existed
Make sure you check out my video on the turbo feed banjo bolt. Another one you didn’t know that you have to clean.
Can this filter last forever if you clean it? Or should actually be replaced at 60,000 MI? I ask because my car has 65,000 miles and I'm wondering if I should spend the $50 and buy a new one or just clean it.
Up to you if you want to clean or replace, I just cleaned it and the screen looked fine. there is another filter in the turbo oil feed line you should clean too czcams.com/video/0BG_vo6PyhA/video.html
