the glove box doesn't need taking out, as you said - what I do, is I disconnect the battery, then unclip all 4 connectors form the fuse tray so it can get out of the way - that makes the filter change very easy. It's easier and quicker to remove the fuse tray than keep faffing about with the glove box
I just paid my mechanic an extra $90 Australian dollars to change this filter on top of standard service… guess I will be doing it myself next time at that price! Really appreciate the video!
Big thank you Badgertronix, had a major issue getting air out of the vents & as a very amateur at cars it took less than an hour in total to remove the filter & I now have air coming through my vents
Very informative! I bought Ford Mondeo Mk4 6 months ago and since I am rather tightfisted person, keen learn how to do maintenance without visiting the service for little jobs like this. Thank you!
I did mine around 2 months ago and it was a right pain to do however it made a day and night difference. If you have the tools then it will definetly make a difference
Nice job. I have never replaced a pollen/cabin filter on any of my vehicles. Not because they don't have them I just never looked to see if they did. Maybe I should.
Good video thanks! - I ordered the filter and couldn't work out where the hell it was supposed to go - thanks to your -video I now know! Job done. And what a rubbish design, on my Mazda 6 the procedure is 1 Open glove box, 2 open cover, 3 remove filter - no tools needed. This is a poor design from Ford.
Dealership service history means that it’s probably had 1 actual oil and fuel filter change in its lifetime and by the look of that cabin filter it’s never been changed😂
I like pollen...Other than stopping grit getting into the fan I just don't get it...We come from out where the pollen and grit is,,we get in the car with the new pollen filter and wind the window down and then we step out into the pollen filled world when we arrive to our destination...I must be just old I guess.
And when your driving down the road and a bit of grit ect blows through into your eyes, active carbon ones help filter emissions ect also so not having one is stupid
I am a mechanic and I agree the sakes tactic of filtering the air you breathe blah blah blah. As you said we breathe when we are outside. But if you get that much crude in your filter, think about your evaporator core for the air conditioning if you didn't have the filter. I have replaced cores on many a car before these filters were on cars and many of them were half clogged from air flow. That's where I see the huge difference
