The car is a 22-model standard axle 530 fashion model. For air conditioning filter elements, the 5-series filter elements and replacement methods of the g series are the same. Models 18 to 22 can be used.

Release the movable buckle and left buckle and remove it

Remember to unplug the footlight. The one with the white pipe is the filter element cover.

There are two screws at the bottom of the cover plate. You have to use a club hex wrench. Buy your own set. The cheap one costs more than ten yuan

It’s this little hexagonal ring wrench

Remove the original car air conditioning filter after the cover plate is removed, which is very dirty

Comparison of new and old filter elements

The old filter element is too dirty, replace it in a year or 20,000 kilometers

If I replaced the air conditioning filter element, I only realized after replacing it today that the air conditioning filter element was so dirty. So my advice to everyone is to replace the air conditioning filter element once a year. The original factory is equipped with Mahler’s. I found a genuine air conditioning filter from Mahler’s flagship store online. It only costs more than 150 points. The MAN brand is slightly more expensive, 280 points. If you replace it at a 4s store, it will cost about 700 points, including working hours and materials. The money I save is used to add fuel. It smells so good.
Now I will briefly show you the specific replacement steps. There are a few places to pay attention to. First, you need to open the button on the left side of the glove box and gently break it out. Then you need to open the two plastic movable buttons on the left and right. First, you need to pull out the connector of the footlight and use some force to directly push it out. Pull it out will not cause a car fault code. Remember to unplug the white hose on the air conditioning filter element cover for easy installation. After the filter element cover is loosened, just gently pull it out. Then, just put the side of the arrow in towards the front of the car. It’s very simple, but you need to be a little patient when installing. The filter element cover is not easy to install. Observe it more and install it a few more times. I used too hard, and two buttons were stuck by me. However, even if the buckle is broken, it will be fine. It is fixed by screws and will not affect the use. It is cheap to buy one. This filter element cover is also Mahler brand, which costs about 200 yuan.
