Cabin Air Filter Replacement on a 2017 Hyundai Tucson 

Thanks! I have directions for the engine air filter at the end of the spark plug replacement video, as that one doesn't need replacement as often. It is possible for a mouse to get in to the cabin air filter. The top part is open to the area under the plastic cowl panel under the windshield wipers. I had to have my windshield replaced and I got to look inside after they took out the glass. I could actually see the filter - probably could have pulled it out from behind if I wanted to! The air flow into the car comes in from the cowl vent panel to that filter, then thru the filter to the blower fan which is under it, and then to pass over the heater core or a/c evaporator and then out to the ducts. So that filter traps anything solid from the outside. I would imagine that it gets wet regularly because water drains down thru the cowl vent panel under the wipers, so keeping the filter too long could lead to it becoming moldy - although the material is probably treated so it lasts a while.

Mine too right side. Have an european model, maybe?

Thanks! I'm going to be doing a new video soon on the 2022 model.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Baker Patrick instablaster =)

@Trenton Kabir Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Trenton Kabir it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

@Baker Patrick No problem :D

Thanks!

$100 for a cabin filter? Nothing else? That's way overpriced. In my area I think its $39.95 with no installation fee.

Bruce Leibowitz the dealer wanted $100 for a new filter and installation (a rip off as the dealer normally is). This time I did it myself from autozone for a total of $20

Jenkins Hyundai in Jacksonville FL wants $65 to do this 😂 $20 filter at Walmart 👍

Thanks! I hope to make more videos like this.

Yeah, the trans is the one thing I don't like about it. It can be a bit jerky at times but if driven just right it is smooth. That's probably why they discontinued it for 2018.

Bruce Leibowitz really? Wow! Design is awesome though!

Love the truck but holy crap does the transmission suck! Can you say turbo lag?

Ahhhh that does make sense! The Tucson was sold in many countries and they probably re-used portions of the manual instead of publishing a complete new one. Typical Hyundai - trying to save a buck on their production cost!

@@bml33 yup. I own a left hand drive and it says same.

I'm not sure. I don't have the 2017 Tucson anymore so I can't go out and look. I will soon have to make a new video for the '22 Tucson!

I had a 15 Mustang. It was a bear to replace it.

I really don't know. The blower is inside behind the dash I think. To clean the air inlet you'd probably have to remove the plastic cowl panel under the hood but I never tried that.

Interesting! They saved some money on not updating the manuals.

Do you have the right hand drive model? I think they are reversed on those.

@@bml33 No, left hand drive. I am in Europe and have opened the compartment just the other day.

Correction: From right hand side, like in manual. :)

No, all of the HVAC air flows through one filter.

@@bml33 awesome. Thanks so much for replying. I just bought a filter today and planning to replace it myself *crosses finger*

This is the site I used: hyundai.oempartsonline.com/

Once a year is a good starting point unless you drive in a very dusty environment.

I did a search online at Autozone and O'Reilly's and there's STP ($15.99) and Wix ($19.99) brands but not in stock, order only. The online dealer I used sells the OEM one for 25% off of list price - www.hyundaioemparts.com/

Search Amazon for "ECOGARD XA10426" or "Premium Guard Air Filter PA99097" for the Engine Air Filter and then search "TYC 800205P Replacement Cabin Air Filter." Hyundai Part#: 28113-D3300 (Engine Air Filter) Hyundai Part#: 97133-D1000 or 97133-D3000 (Cabin Air Filter)

Yeah, that's what I did....just not at first. I had never actually replaced a cabin filter located inside. I had a couple Fords with cabin filters - the older one was accessible from under the hood in between two sections of the firewall, and the newer model was under the glove box but getting to it was a major pain in the ass that i let the dealer do it. Leave it to the Koreans to design one that can be so easily removed! Interestingly, I had my windshield replaced recently on this Tucson and they had to remove the plastic cowl panel under the hood to access the base of the windshield and the cabin filter was exposed and looked like I could just pull it out from the engine compartment side! Nothing else covering it.
