2 Answers
To replace the air conditioning filter in a Lova, follow these steps: 1. Locate and pull the lever to open the front hood; 2. Manually open the front hood completely and secure it with the support rod; 3. Unscrew the bolts on the air filter cover; 4. Open the glove compartment and pull it out firmly to access the air conditioning filter; 5. After opening the air conditioning filter cover, pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one. The Lova is a compact car with body dimensions of 4310mm in length, 1690mm in width, and 1507mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2480mm. In terms of power, the Lova is equipped with a 1.4L 16-valve engine, delivering a maximum power of 69 kW and a maximum torque of 128 Nm.
I used to change the AC filter several times myself when I drove a Lova, and now I'll share the experience with you. First, open the glove box and press both sides inward to remove it—don't use brute force. Then, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover behind it with a clip on the right side. Gently pry it open with your fingernail or a small screwdriver. When removing the old filter, pay attention to the arrow direction, and make sure to install the new filter in the same orientation (usually with the arrow pointing downward). Finally, check if the cover is fully secured, otherwise, there might be strange noises at high speeds. I recommend buying an activated carbon filter—it only costs around 20 yuan and works better than the OEM one for odor removal. Remember to replace it every six months, which is great for your health, especially if you often use the outside air circulation. This job can actually be done in just ten minutes, so there's no need to waste money at a repair shop.
