In the blink of an eye, my 5 series is more than 2 years old. It’s time to replace the air filter element and air conditioning filter element.

The day before yesterday, I felt that the air in the car was not very good and there was a sour smell.

The car and aircraft also repeatedly skipped the air circulation recommendation.

This week, it’s raining again for us.

So, I took time to replace these two things yesterday, and there was an incident during this period. Listen to me slowly.

I have been fascinated by new energy vehicles recently, but the blue sky and white clouds are still so tempting.

Look at the muddy water all over the ground, but since replacing the Goodyear Royal Passenger III tires, I have no fear of wheel slippage anymore. Goodyear’s excellent grip and wet braking performance give people great confidence. Even in the slippery environment of the underground garage, there has been no slippage, let alone the wet asphalt road. There is no need to worry about the slippery road. I still remember that the tire change was based on the silent performance of the Goodyear Royal Ride III. I learned that it had been upgraded to ANX silent technology, which could reduce noise in all directions. After the replacement, it really improved the original serious tire noise problem of my car. It was quite comfortable to use it.

Recently, I have been fascinated by new energy vehicles. Last week, I tested the ideal L8, NIO ES6 and Krypton 001 single motor versions, as well as Mercedes-Benz EQE. In the end, I really lost my composure.

The idea of buying another tram began to arise in my heart. Putting this aside, let’s talk about the process of replacing the air filter element and the air conditioning filter element this time. I bought the filter element in advance.

I didn’t catch up with the event or anything, so I just chose it myself in Goudong. Much cheaper than 4S.

There are flower beds on both sides of the parking space, and when it rains, the muddy water will flow into my parking space. After carefully getting on the car, he drove straight to the dog dong store.

It should be said that the process is quite standardized, but the young man is a little careless. I will talk about this in detail later.

The filter element is not particularly dirty.

There was a lot of dust in the filter compartment, so I asked the young man to clean it up for me.

Those with sharp eyes should have seen that there is a piece of cloth under the cover. The young man wiped the filter cartridge and did not take it out.

Compared with the old and new filter elements, the quality is not bad.

See that piece of cloth? This also laid the foundation for my later troubles. Fortunately, I photographed it, otherwise I would not know what problem caused the instrument to jump off the engine fault light.

The air filter is easy to change. If I have tools, I can definitely change it myself. Air conditioning filter elements are more difficult to replace.

This is the guard under the co-pilot’s glove box and needs to be removed.

This is the old filter element that was taken out, Mahler’s.

I also bought Mahler’s, but I couldn’t see the difference.

The air conditioning filter element is really dirty. No wonder the air quality in the car is poor.

Pay attention to the direction of the arrow when installing. I have also repeatedly reminded the young man, I hope it is installed correctly.

To sum up, the cost of replacing the air filter element and the air conditioner filter element was very small, only 251 yuan. The process was not very ideal. Because of the young man’s carelessness, my car reported a fault light. Later, I found an auto repair shop nearby. After taking out the rag and removing the fault light, the problem was solved. Although I had photo evidence, I thought it was better not to affect the young man’s work, so I didn’t report this to the store manager.
