How many air filters does the BYD S7 have?
2 Answers
The BYD S7 has one air filter located behind the glove compartment, as well as an engine air filter situated on the right side of the engine. The steps to remove the BYD S7 air filter are as follows: 1. Unscrew the two plastic screws on both sides of the glove compartment; 2. Remove the damping buckle on the right side of the glove compartment and detach the plastic panel; 3. After removing the plastic panel, you will see a blue wire and a white wire—disconnect the plugs of these two wires to remove the air filter. The BYD S7 measures 4835mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2730mm. The vehicle's engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 154Ps, a maximum power of 113kW, and a maximum torque of 240Nm.
As a seasoned driver who frequently operates a BYD S7, I've noticed that the air conditioning system typically has only one cabin air filter, located in the filter housing on the passenger side, which is quite easy to access. If the filter gets dirty and isn't replaced promptly, it can reduce airflow, significantly diminishing cooling efficiency in summer, and potentially leading to musty odors and bacterial growth that affect health. It's advisable to check it during every routine maintenance, with a general recommendation to replace it every 10,000-20,000 kilometers or once a year. Especially during spring and autumn when pollen levels are high, installing a new filter can markedly improve cabin air quality and protect respiratory health. DIY replacement is quite straightforward—opt for genuine OEM filters which cost just a few dozen yuan; don't skimp by buying cheap alternatives as it may prove counterproductive. Remember, regular maintenance not only saves money but also prevents costly repairs to the AC compressor.
