Have You Replaced Your Air-con Filter?

I just replaced my air con filter and got a shock at the amount of dust, dirt and small dead leaves embedded in it.

 

So please remember to replace your air con filter.

 

Imagine the amount of dust you have to breathe in if your air con filter is dirty, especially with the haze now.

Some cars dont come with air con filter ~ best is to check.

 

Reason ~ cost saving factor by car manufacturer

When I collected my Corolla from Borneo Motors, it did not come with air con filter too.

 

Just an empty air con filter casing.

 

I bought the air con filetr to fit into the casing.

What air con filter???

I having been using my car for nearly 4.5 years and travelled 126k without servicing air con or changing filter. So far no complain or immune already.

my car also no filter.. wher u buy urs?

Say, is the aircon filter this dirty because you take in fresh air, or even recirculation mode will cause the filter to be this dirty?

 

I didn't even check if there's a filter in my car, and my SE didn't even know the location of the filter when I asked. The previous car was driven for 6 years without doing anything to the filter (or lack of).

 

Maybe it's time to look into the filter issue, esp with the bad haze.

Your aicon filter was indeed dusty I checked mine last week, the surface still quite clean with some plant seeds, leaves on top. Brushed them with wool based brush and shaken a bit. Some charcoal got loosen and dropped out.. I guess the filter still strong after 1 year. Maybe change it after 6 more months.
