How to Replace the Air Conditioning Filter in a GS4?
2 Answers
First, open the glove box cover of the Trumpchi GS4. Locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove box and pull it outward with force to remove the glove box. Once removed, you will see the air conditioning filter cover. Press the fixing buckles on both sides of the cover firmly to remove it. Finally, pull out the old air conditioning filter and insert the new one. Introduction to the Trumpchi GS4 Air Conditioning Filter: 1. The air conditioning filter in the Trumpchi GS4 is located on the passenger side, under the glove box, near the center console. 2. Looking up from the floor, you can see the arrow pointing to the air conditioning filter's clip. There are three clips in total; gently pry them outward to open, and inside is the air filter. The general replacement cycle for the air conditioning filter is every 10,000 kilometers. Functions of the Air Conditioning Filter: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air. 3. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and lasting moisture adsorption. 4. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving. It provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It also effectively sterilizes and deodorizes.
I previously replaced the air conditioning filter for my GS4 myself, and it took some time to figure out the trick. Before disassembling, empty the glove box and carefully move aside the interior trim on the passenger side—there might be a cover secured with clips or screws, which can be removed with a regular screwdriver. The filter is hidden inside a plastic case, so be careful not to install it backward. The old filter was covered in dust, clearly indicating it was time for a replacement. Buy an original or compatible model that fits the GS4; they cost just a few dozen yuan online. When reinstalling, don’t press too hard to avoid cracking the plastic parts. The whole process takes about 15 minutes, saving hundreds of yuan compared to a repair shop. I recommend replacing it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. The airflow feels much smoother afterward, the car’s air is fresher, and it’s a fun DIY project that doesn’t require many tools.
