Try a look at this image : www.renault-spares.co.uk/ekmps/shops/renault/image...g

Its on the front face of the engine in the middle at a 45 degree angle (black spin-on canister). You'll probably need to remove some hoses or trunking to access it but that's where it is I'm afraid.

Good luck with it.

Thanks, I'll go looking for it tomorrow. There's not a lot of room down there it might be easier to come at it from underneath. As you say I might have to move a few hoses!
At least I know where I am supposed to be looking now.

Sounds like the same filter housing used on my C3 Picasso, it is hidden under the air intake ducting, can only be reached from above and you will need a 27mm socket to unscrew the top of the filter housing, be prepared to lose a few bits of skin!

Well I couldnt find it where the picture suggested it should be. I supect that is because the picture is a K9K engine but I have an M9R.

Still searching.

Will now try looking under the air filter!
