In the process of using the car, we always encounter all kinds of situations, and the maintenance and replacement of some vulnerable parts are the most common things. If you master some simple replacement methods for vulnerable parts, you can not only leave a maintenance cost, but also better understand the situation of the car!
The epidemic has now alleviated a lot, most parts of the country have lowered the response to early warning, enterprises have gradually returned to work, vehicles no longer have to “stand by”. After a month and a half of “idle”, the car also embarked on the road to return to work.
With the increase of the frequency of using the car, some vulnerable parts of the vehicle also need to be replaced, such as wipers. This original wiper has been accompanied since the birth of the vehicle and has experienced countless blows of wind and rain up to now. Now finally revealed the “morbid”-can not scrape clean glass, after careful consideration, decided to use points from the 4S store to exchange a pair of original factory wiper to replace. At the same time, with the 32% discount on the air-conditioning filter element, we acquired a PM2.5 air-conditioning filter element, which was replaced this time.
As we have planted a large number of poplar and willow trees, which are “hairy” green plants in spring, poplar catkins are flying all over the place in the spring, and after replacing the air-conditioning filter element, we can better protect the safety of the car.
Without saying much, let’s get to the point: start replacing wipers and air-conditioning filters.
Let’s take a look at the dust on the wiper. A full floor.
If you open the wiper, you can see the dust more directly. There are inevitably some small pebbles or small clods of earth and so on. It is recommended that you wipe the dust here before using the wiper to avoid damage to the wiper caused by the stones or clods inside.
Directly “support” the wipers on both sides. It is said on the Internet that you can first transfer the wiper to the maintenance position, that is, turn on the ignition switch, then toggle the wiper switch, turn off the ignition switch when the wiper is in a vertical position, and then remove the wiper. The advantage is that the wiper can be removed on one side. But it didn’t do that this time.
Now many models of Volkswagen wiper removal are buckle design, just press the square on the way to the location of the buckle, and then pull out can be removed, very convenient.
New wipers and new air conditioner filter elements that are about to go to war.
Compared with the new and old wipers, the same wipers of the original factory, time left a mark on it.

Replace the new wiper and try the effect quickly. After scraping, the glass is clean and bright, and it looks as if there is no glass ahead.
The next step is to replace the air conditioner filter element. 17 the position of the filter element of Lang Yi air conditioner is on the upper left side of the engine compartment, and another plum blossom screw is fixed on the lid. As there is no corresponding screwdriver on hand, I have to use a small word screwdriver to work.
Remove the screw and push the lid to the left so that the clasp is removed, and then the lid can be removed. This is the removed lid, and there is a buckle on the right. If you pull it out hastily, it is bound to damage the clasp.
Next, remove the old air conditioner filter element. It’s obviously dirty.
Let’s take a look at the newly purchased PM2.5 air conditioning filter, the feeling on the hand is very solid, and the material is much thicker than the original. There are original factory accessories on the side. At the same time, the arrow above indicates the direction in which the air flows, preventing the installation from being reversed (in fact, it cannot be reversed, because there are two grooves on it for the plastic ring of the air conditioner filter element. There are grooves on the front, but there are no grooves on the back.
Comparison of new and old air conditioner filter elements. I don’t know how to use the air conditioner in the past. It’s scary to think about it.
Install the plastic ring on the original air conditioner filter element (let’s call it that) on the new air conditioner filter element, and note that there will be three raised sides facing inward and the other facing outward.
In the corresponding installation position of the air conditioning filter element, there are three holes, which are prepared for these three protuberances, which play the role of fixing and limiting positions.
Insert after alignment, and then press down to the outside of the two clasps. Then put the outer plastic lid back on.
Let’s take a look at the back of the original air conditioner filter element. It’s all weathered and broken.
Now that we have opened the cabin cover, of course we have to choose to wipe the engine compartment.
The engine compartment has taken on a new look after polishing.
Finally, take advantage of the sunny day, wash the car again.
The above is the operation of replacing wiper and air-conditioning filter element. If it is helpful to the cyclists, I hope you can comment on it.
