Honestly didn’t think this would help with what I was looking for. But it did. With a cursory look I couldn’t find how air entered the cabin with pictures. But you showed it in video. I was convinced it was part of the air filter system for the motor. Had no idea it was such a simple intake. Thanks, them mice are in trouble now!

Yes thank you! I went to a Honda dealership and told them some unpleasant smell is coming out of my ventilation system. (Fyi: I keep my 2019 Honda Si super clean inside and outside). Anyways, they told me to go to Canadian Tire to buy some product I spray into the vents. Needles to say the odour is still there now it's a double odour of spray and something unpleasant. I have faith that changing the cabin filter will make a complete difference. What baffles me is that a technician could not recommend such a simple fix. Unbelievable!!!! Thanks for your video! :)

@fcpeuro 3 года назад

The cabin filter will absolutely make a difference if your vehicle has one, and a possible clean of the AC condenser (they tend to gather water, and possible mold)

This video is just in the "nick of time" as I just recently replaced my cabin air filter and also wondered how does does it work because on my old 99 Land Cruiser, it did not come with a cabin air filter but my 2017 Tundra did. Changing the cabin air filter made a great difference in my truck to help improve the air filtration and resolved my issues with foggy windows.

Very well made and informative. Would like to ask. If you have the fan switched off does air still enter the intake under the windshield? If so where does it go?

@Fishthe406 3 года назад

Is it possible to have increased gas mileage if the cabin air filter before was 99% clogged ? Would this make the thermostat work harder or the ac work harder? I changed mine and saw some improvements, but not sure if this was the reason.

@bigbluechopper24 3 года назад

Great video, thanks Ben! Assuming the filter isn't dirty, how often do you need to replace an activated carbon filter?

@fcpeuro 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed the video BigBlueChopper! We recommend changing out an activated carbon filter every 15,000 miles/ Once a Year , so actually more often than a normal particulate filter. Hope that helps!

@@fcpeuro Thanks for the info, that is what I have been doing, good to know it's the right thing to do.

@johnathonmcalister6645 Год назад

I know this has been here for a while - but a note about AC condensation. In a Porsche Cayenne, it's good to see AC condensation on the ground - if the condensation port gets clogged, then the line can get filled with water, and leak into the passenger compartment. Seeing a bit of water in the passenger footwell in the summer after running the AC is an alarm bell that the port has been clogged, and the condensation is leaking - what you see in the footwell may be only a tiny portion of what has soaked into the carpet. This is a big issue, as there is a wiring harness that can be damaged by the water. Checking and clearing the ports is a regular maintenance item that is often overlooked.

@jpcampit7282 3 года назад

My 1999 Lancer does not come with a cabin air filter, at least not in the place it usually is on most cars which is behind the glove box, is there any DIY in which I can stick a filter element somewhere in the ducts? The place I live is very dusty.

@Grenadieros Год назад

At 2:17, are you sure that this area (the hood grille beneath the windshield) is High pressure area? I think is Low thus the air can be soaked inside because inside the engine bay is high pressure. Also another question: if we make that entrance point a little bit larger (to take more air) there would be a benefit for the blower fan or not?.

@danram247 3 года назад

I always keep the recirculating button on when using my a/c so it doesn't get dirty...the only time that air is coming through the outside vent is when I use the defogger during the short winter time here in Los Angeles...

Thats one way to keep things clean!

Air / pollen filter what are the areas that need to be replaced and cleaned do I have a video for that for a MDX because I changed the engine filter and the cabin filter what else I’m missing??

@stevensevek6151 3 года назад

The fan in your illustration is rotating in the wrong direction. The angle of the blades will only take air inside the blower and force it out in the direction of the air flow arrows if it's turning in a clockwise direction... Right?

Hey Ben, what if you are using the recirculation air always? Do you still need activated charcoal filter to be installed or no longer needed?

@fcpeuro 3 года назад

Hi Jastine, we would still recommend having the highest quality filtration in your car no matter the normal use, so if there is charcoal filtered option it simply cannot hurt to have in there!

@johnmartin5153 2 месяца назад

I got that black smoke that diesels shoot out stuck in my cabin air system. One month later I can still feel it in my throat, it’s horrible. Even after letting the vehicle idle with the heat on full blast . I just bought new cabin filters, and I plan to blast out the system with a air compressor with the filters out with the blower fan on high. Is there anything else you can recommend to clean out my air system?

not directly, but when on recirc the already filtered air going back over the condensor is cleaner

@GeoCubedTV Год назад

Does a cabin air filter affect air conditioner performance?

@fcpeuro Год назад

If our filter is very clogged, it can undoubtedly hinder its performance of cooling down your cabin, as the air is having a hard time passing through the filter.

@Thegangsta00711 2 года назад

Does a dirty filter cause the AC to not blow as strong as it could?

@boeingt7236 2 года назад

It's the reverse. The more restriction your intake has the more your ac will struggle to get the volume of air that it needs to regulate the temperature. Replace your filters and take your car to a tech to see if your AC refrigerant is good to go.
