The air conditioner and air filter elements I replaced in August last year, and taking advantage of the discount on this year’s Double 11, I decisively bought MAN brand air conditioner and air filter elements. The two only cost more than 300 points. After calculating it for more than a year, it’s time to replace them. The Mahler I replaced last time was relatively cheaper, but the air conditioner filter element is more suitable for the MAN brand. The size of the Mahler air conditioner filter element is a little small. It is a little loose when installed and will fall off when touched. The MAN brand is relatively tight and will not fall off after being inserted into the filter element opening. Anyway, if you change it yourself once a year, it’s quite cost-effective to save more than a thousand dollars. Friends who are confident in their own ability to do it can change it yourself. In fact, it’s simple. The preparation tools are as follows: a plumx screwdriver, a one-word screwdriver, a wiping cloth (cleaning the engine compartment and filter compartment), a small brush, and a small wireless vacuum cleaner (cleaning the dust in the air filter compartment).

The tools are as follows, which is very simple

Remove and disassemble the outer cover of the air conditioning filter element, remove it, and pull off the lamp foot plug

After the first cover plate is removed, the filter element cover plate is formed

Remove the screws of the air conditioning filter cover plate with a plumx screwdriver, 2

Remember to remove this little white tube from the cover plate

The original two Mahler filter elements fell off as soon as they touched them

Remember to clean the dust on the lower surface of the removed air conditioning filter cover
