However, precisely *where* on the front of the engine it's located requires a bit more investigation. You'll need to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. It will have diagrams and specific instructions.
2. Look online for a diagram or repair manual: Many websites offer free repair manuals or diagrams for this model. Search for "1999 Chevrolet Metro air filter location" or similar. A picture is worth a thousand words in this case.
3. Visually inspect the engine bay: Carefully look for a large, rectangular plastic box with a slightly visible filter element (often a pleated paper element) poking out or near it. This box is the air filter housing. Often there are clips or screws holding the lid on.
Important Note: Always be careful when working around the engine. Make sure the engine is cool and off before you attempt to locate or replace the air filter.
