How to Remove the Air Filter of Ford Escort?

[Freddie]

The air filter of Ford Escort is located inside the dashboard on the passenger side. When replacement is needed, remove the cover plate to access the air filter. The cover plate is a long strip, and after removing it, the air filter can be taken out. Here are some additional details: 1. The air filter at a Ford 4S store costs over 100 RMB, and the labor fee for replacement is over 200 RMB. It is recommended that car owners purchase and replace it themselves to save costs. Ford does not specify a fixed replacement cycle for the air filter but suggests an annual inspection for cleaning or replacement. It is advisable to clean it regularly and replace it every two years. 2. Without an air filter, particles can enter the cabin, polluting the car's air conditioning system and reducing the performance of the cooling system. Inhaling dust and harmful gases can cause allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and unpleasant odors, all of which affect driving safety. A high-quality air filter can capture dust particles, reduce respiratory discomfort, minimize irritation for allergy sufferers, enhance driving comfort, and protect the air conditioning and cooling system.
