1998-2002 Honda Accord cabin air filter change 

Hahah facts

😂😂😂 yeah it was a PITA

Yeah I'm with you. I'm selling my 1999 and the new owner gets a free filter I never installed. That's a ridiculous amount of work for a simple filter.

@@Murp268 Me too. This is just about the stupidest bit of engineering I've ever seen.

Your not the only one 2000 accord great video but check out Scotty Kilmer he doesn't do it to an accord but a Lexus so easy on that car makes me want to go buy one the filter in the glove compartment pull out a plastic cover take the old one out install the new one no screws to mess with genius!

🤣😂🤣

Jerry Sollien lol no problem, we’re glad to be here to help you through this process :)

Bless your heart! ♥️

+monicaville lol

Lol. I noticed that too. Imagine that!

I thought the same!

I thought those gloves were dead fish. LOL. I put disposable gloves in a bag in my glove box for times I need them due to covid-19 protocol.

@@gregcampbell1959 I keep mine in the center console between my seats.

I'll hire you to do my 2001 Accord then! Lol 😳😂🤣

Hey thanks for the tip doing it this weekend thought about guess worked for you so will do

hopefully they don't over charge you for the labor...

Omg thats so much work for an air filter!!!!!!

yeah, I agree. I just changed mine and I couldn't believe how long it took. Rediculous for something simple like a cabin air filter.

If they replace all parts in your car mine was missing parts or Screw in the engine missing after a A/C replaced my radio wasn't working either seem they unplug the Antena behind the radio From now I use people I trust to work on your car I'm sick of these money suckers The red Cover of the battery was missing I asked them to get it back they don't reply even the missing bolts after an A/C changed I hate Dealer I don't care how hard it might be i don't go to the dealer anymore I have to Replaced my Honda 2002 with 15,000 miles all my A/C system the dealer told me it was to old that is why I have Freon Leak in the system cost me $2000 to replaced they couldn't find the leak I found it for them without device I had to missed work went 5 times to Honda Finally I found by my self the issue of the leak tooto long to explain it than I realized to late a screw part of the top plastic cover missing I'm going to make lots of photo every part of the new car it isn't a Honda but a Subaru outback 2020 keep these in case something goes missing in your car after a service I never really check I was trusting the dealer was a big mistake you can't trust them they are there for big $$$$ they don't care about you the play the game when they want you to buy there car these weasel they want my Honda 2002 No way billy I hate dealer in Las Vegas.

You could rebuild the transmission faster than doing this filter.

+Rodrigo Balcazar Yeah, over time, they get dirty and filled with leaves and things you didn't know could get into there lol

In all likelihood is *was* becoming a bird's nest.

Np

thx!

Glad to help 👍🏼

Nice!

Demetrich Stokes yeah, not many people know about it since it’s hidden way back there lol

Hey how did the old filter look? Very curious. I've a 98 and can't imagine it's been changed for at least a decade..

@@shoDOHC it was dirty as hell

@@kingachiever damn. I can't imagine what mine looks like. Did your ac work better after you think

@@shoDOHC it was a little better , not a lot .

glad to help :)

they changed all this mess on later models were easy

Haha, it happens, especially with all those stuff under there.

yup :)

Not with these instructions! I tried (without removing that lower center glove box screw) I pried, pulled & got frustrated & then started looking & being knowledgeable in assembly saw that screw that had to be removed!

Thank you

Thank you

are you talking about the evaporator?

+Wheat002 np!

nice. If your AC is still not cold, might need a recharge on the AC.

Yes definitely 🥶

no, it would be your A/C refrigerant, it might be low and needs a recharge.

BUT - it would impair the flow of air - therefore not making the car cold enough due to low air circulation!

My thoughts exactly.

There's another video showing how it's done ... full of omissions. But the best part was putting in new filters without first putting them in the white plastic holders (5:15).

I’m not too sure, but I think so. Some don’t know they have it since it’s tucked in there so deep. You can also check out Walmart cabin air filter book for your year and model to see if your vehicle is equipped with it or not.

Its by MatcoTools

Yes that’s the only way, over time a clogged cabin filter will stink up your vehicle inside when air blows through it. Also, sometimes rats can get in there and build a nest too. So it’s best to check it periodically.

#Bummer

Hrm, never happened to me before...

@@NutzAboutBolts It went away. Thanks again 👍🏻

@@joedeegan2639 Probably a bee you picked up. Dead now.

not too sure... its possible.

you will smell it.

jisozaki cabin air filters if you have one in your car should be changed on average every two years or less

when the air coming out the vents is reduced. Depends on how much crap is in the air where you live. I would say 60K miles is about average

Ricardo Aguirre maybe your car 🚗 is crying 😭 😂

Heater core may be toast.

check the sunroof or moonroof hose lining they get clogged sometime or sometimes gets loose

there is sunroof hose line on right wall under the glove box. mine was disconnected but from driver side, just put it back inside the line.

no problem! anytime! :)

yeah, this is the worst design ever for a cabin air filter lol. But ever since 2003 and up, their cabin air filter access is much much better.

you fucked up :)

James Chuaycham you just have to pull it straight down and out because its held on by strong clips, and the clips tend to get old and rusty so it'll be stuck in there good. Just use some muscle to pull it off, you won't break anything.

😥 I'm so sorry!

You need to remove them in order to access the filters, you can try drilling them out and replace them with new ones.

Those "screws" not only have a Phillips head but a 6-point hex which will allow a socket to slip over them (8 or 10 mm) and allow you to apply much more torque without stripping.

I guess no good way to provide easier access and still have a glove box. Was that like 12 screws, or more? I lost count. And I'm not going to do it. Screw it.

not too sure...

around 120 plus labor in canada or you buy the 5 dollar amazon filter and do it yourself

You forgot rebuilding the tranny.

My mistake you did reconnect it lol

lol

Yes because if you don’t do it, when you turn on the AC, you’ll be smelling whatever’s in your cabin air filter.

Yep, because now you’re smelling clean air instead of stinky air when air flows through the vents lol

Sure. Think of all that extra weight (debris) the old filters were carrying. Much lighter now.

***** yeah it is! :(

I SSMDad compared to most cabin air filters this is a pain ya lol but not that bad

I SSMkuiio Czech x zapatos bunko

You went through all that trouble and didn't replace them? Mine were so bad you could not see light through them when held up to the sun. No way was I putting those back in.

James Chuaycham you have to pull very hard, sometimes those clips are pretty tough to pull out.

NutzAboutBolts I imagine so. Maybe I need to get the same tool as you from Harbor Freight.

James Chuaycham yeah, its a pretty cheap tool that's useful for plastic panels in the vehicle.
