As someone who enjoys DIY car maintenance, my experience with removing the BYD S7 air filter tells me it's super easy. First, you need to open the engine hood and secure the support rod to prevent accidental closure and injury. Then locate the black or gray square box, usually near the intake pipe beside the engine—I checked the S7 design diagram to confirm its position. Gently release the clips (some models have plastic fasteners), avoiding using a screwdriver to pry them open to prevent breakage. After removing the old filter, I usually wipe the inside of the box with a cloth to clear dust and avoid clogging. When installing the new filter, align it with the airflow arrow direction to ensure proper filtration. Close and press the cover firmly. The whole process takes just 5 to 10 minutes, saving you the hassle and cost of visiting a repair shop. I recommend replacing it every 15,000 km, as this blocks dust from entering the engine, improves power output, and extends the car's lifespan. After changing it myself, I noticed a slight drop in fuel consumption—truly a blessing of DIY tips.
As an ordinary car owner, I initially thought it was complicated but actually not difficult at all. First, open the hood and ensure the car is parked on a flat, safe surface. Locate the air filter box, which is quite noticeable in the engine compartment—for the BYD S7, it's near the front side of the car. Simply unclip the fasteners or loosen the screws; don’t worry about tools, as it can be done by hand. After removing the old filter, check how dirty it is—a reminder of the importance of regular maintenance. When inserting the new filter, align it with the directional markings to avoid affecting air intake. Close the lid securely until you hear a 'click' sound. I found the process quick and cost-effective, and after the replacement, the car breathes better with reduced noise. It's recommended to check every year or every 12,000 kilometers—proper maintenance means fewer engine issues.
In my car repair experience, removing the air filter requires efficiency. Lift the engine hood, locate the plastic box near the intake system. Release the clips to remove the cover, take out the old filter and clean dust from the box. Install the new part with the arrow indicating flow direction, securely close the cover and test for air leaks. Recommended replacement every 18,000 km to protect the engine.
