Change the “mask” yourself.

September 4, 2024

The last six-year homework got a little ten thousand views, which made the car owners who had been away from the forum for many years feel that the Aika Forum was active again. This time, I will share the process of changing the internal and external filter elements and air filter elements of the air conditioner with my own experience.
Generally speaking, Xiao 6 is very worry-free and of excellent quality. at present, 90,000 kilometers is routine basic maintenance, and the maintenance project has no non-basic filtration and oil change.
Before choosing so-and-so to maintain a car, the manual fee for a project will be 59. The engine filter can not be handled by itself, but the air filter element of the air conditioner can be changed by itself. I went to JD.com to buy the filter element of Mahler by myself. When I ran into the activity, I basically converted to 30. If you go to the 4S store to change the filter element, the material plus labor cost, it will cost 600 yuan.
As for the choice of three filter brands, most of them choose Mahler and Man brand. Man brand is a little more expensive, it may feel better than the original factory, the original factory seems to be Mahler OEM, but Mahler cheap ah, 20, 000 km change, little impact, and frequent change is certainly better for the car.

The front face is really the more I see it, the more I like it, the more I see it, the more I like it. A kind of introverted feeling comes from the inside, the last song of the official car.

The boastful mark was affixed by himself, who made it the essence of the four circles.

The front face is not the best-looking part of the car because of the lack of LED headlights. The buttocks of the C7 must be the most beautiful part of this generation of A6. The blackened taillights have their own sense of movement, and they light up a T-shaped light source inside at night, which is a bit like Lamborghini’s lights.

First enter the external air conditioning filter element replacement explanation process.

Because it is an external air conditioning filter element, and it also belongs to the first line of defense of the air conditioning system, it is naturally the dirtiest place. In fact, it is also very easy to change this filter element. Just take off the rubber strip, and this cover plate will be pulled out directly in the direction of the engine. No tools are required for this part.

The filter element replaced is very dirty.

The brand-new air conditioner filter element is actually very light.

Install the new filter element back to the filter box, cover plate and tape how to remove and restore. Even if the replacement of the outer filter element is completed.

Next, enter the replacement of the filter element of the internal air conditioner.

Put your head in the glove box and bring a flashlight for the first time. There are three looped fixed knobs below. Take out the three knobs and remove the foam baffle.

After I left, I saw the state inside.

Use your hand to hold the buckle on the right, break it to the right, and you can take off the board of the box.

The state after extraction, at this step, the old filter element is taken out, and the new filter element is installed in place directly. Then restore the previous steps to install the cover plate and foam bezel.

The front to change the internal and external air conditioning filter element does not need to use tools, now to change the air filter element needs to use car tools.

Loosen the clasp screw first.

Then lift the intake pipe up as much as possible so that the empty filter cover can be removed.

This is the state of being filtered in the cabin, and it is also very dirty.

This is a brand new air filter.

The old air filter element is still quite dirty.

A comparison between new and old air filters.

Air filter purchase model LX3550. As in the above two steps, install the new filter element back, and then install the cover plate how to remove it.

The three filters generally refer to the air conditioner inner filter element (under the glove box), the air conditioner outer filter element (engine compartment), the air filter element and the machine filter. Because the machine filter has to be replaced with the oil, if you can’t do it yourself, you can take care of the other three on your own.
It is really very simple. If you are skilled, you can do it without using it in half an hour. Can you save 300 or 400 yuan? is it not fragrant to use the saved money to refuel?
After changing these three filter elements by yourself, you can change the engine filter when you go outside for maintenance. at most, wash the engine pipes and carbon deposits, and repair the fault codes wherever there is an alarm. I can save money by doing this, and I won’t let the car get out of warranty. Why not do it.
