I changed the air filter myself and earned a thousand New Year’s money in half an hour

I got the card in November 2017 and traveled 23,000 kilometers. I have done minor maintenance twice. I also replaced the air filter element myself last time. I was about to replace the air conditioning filter element for the third time. That’s very magical. What kind of carbon is it and how high-tech is it? It’s said that blowing it doesn’t work. If the carbon is blown away, it will have no effect. The activity price is 999. I thought the fare would be “oil”, so expensive. I understand very well. Change it myself. This thing is not a key part. At worst, I can change it frequently!

I originally wanted to buy a replacement before the New Year. The Auto Parts City was near the community, and I could find acquaintances, but I felt that the air conditioner was not turned on much in winter. Forget it, let’s go after the New Year. However, turning on the warm air still has a taste. After the New Year, I will buy it as soon as the Auto Parts City opens. It is 80 yuan. Even the original factory has 180 yuan. Is it necessary? I guess I will feel that it is unnecessary. It is already in the Auto Parts City and still care about that.
After getting up early to work, searched for two articles from fellow riders and read them, so I also reported to the fellow riders after I changed it, so let’s share more car experiences.
There is a lining plate, two plastic clips, and a clip near the left gearbox. Just these three points. Then unplug the lighting harness and take it off.

After taking it off, there are two screws, hexagonal ones.

There is a white hose that is not fixed, so you can just remove it directly.

The tool was not professional, so I took a flat-faced screwdriver to remove it.

It’s best to prepare an inner hexagon, my screws are a little broken.

There are only two holes on the left where two air conditioning filter elements are to be placed. I took them out and looked at them specially: the air conditioning filter elements have words facing the right again, and the words facing the top.

The filter element I took out was not very dirty for a year and a half, but the warm air smelled.

The brand you learned about from your riders: Mahler. The original car filter element has an arrow pointing to it

The one on the top is the original car, and the one on the bottom is bought by me. I don’t know, but the quality is still different. Fortunately, it’s not particularly critical.

The filter element I bought was punched in this way, and there were no arrows pointing at it.

The original car on the left and the auto parts city on the right. Biker said he is a Mahler matched with 528, and now I tell you that 530 is also a Mahler

Mahler’s original car touched the thickness of the filter paper with his hand. It seemed that the original car was thicker, or it might be thicker if it was dirty!
The filtering effect should be good, one side is dirty and the other side is clean.

Comparison of details, these two are both original car filter elements

This is the packaging of air conditioning filter elements.

It’s not too troublesome to change, making a thousand yuan in half an hour?? Personally, I feel that the air filter element is more important than the air conditioner filter element. The air filter element filters the air directly into the engine. If the filtration is not good, it will increase engine wear. At most, the air conditioning filter element is that the poor air in the car affects health. If you talk about paying attention to that… change them frequently, once a quarter or half a year. It will not hurt, cost no money, or trouble. At the same time, you can also treat waist pain and neck pain by doing it yourself. Why not crawl there for at least half an hour?
