The method to replace the air conditioning filter in Changan CS55: 1. There is a black plastic panel above the passenger side footwell with two retractable clips; remove the panel by releasing these clips. 2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, then remove the body control module and its mounting bracket. 3. Remove the panel on the left side of the passenger footwell, which is secured with four screws. If the filter is very dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the opposite side. Hold the air gun about 5cm away from the filter and blow at 500kPa pressure for approximately 2 minutes. The air conditioning filter tends to accumulate a lot of dust. Use a blower or high-pressure air to remove the loose dust. Do not wash it with water, as this can easily damage the filter.
Changing the air conditioning filter for the Changan CS55 is actually not difficult. I've owned this car for over three years and have personally replaced it three times. The filter is usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, open the glove compartment and check if there are any clips or small screws on both sides. Gently unscrew or pry them open with your hands or a screwdriver. After removing the glove compartment, you'll find a small cover inside. Open the cover to pull out the old filter. When installing the new filter, make sure to align it with the arrow direction to avoid incorrect installation that could affect filtration efficiency. The whole process takes about ten minutes, and all you need is a basic screwdriver. I think there are many benefits: the air inside the car becomes much fresher after replacement, breathing becomes smoother, and you save money by avoiding the dealership. I recommend replacing it every six months, especially during high-pollution seasons. Before starting, make sure to turn off the engine for safety, and don’t forget to clean the dust from the removed parts.
Hey, I changed the cabin air filter of my CS55 by myself last month, it was so easy and beginner-friendly! The steps are: First, sit in the passenger seat, open the glove box, locate the fixing clips or screws on both sides of the box, press them by hand to release without tools, then carefully remove the glove box. Look inside, and there's the filter cover, just pry it open with some force, pull out the old filter and discard it. Install the new filter with the arrow on the manual facing the airflow direction, reverse installation may block air. I also took the opportunity to wipe the inner chamber to ensure cleanliness. The whole process is super fast, perfect for DIY beginners, saving both money and time. Remember to buy the correct filter model to avoid mistakes, and replace it once or twice a year to maintain cabin air quality and reduce the risk of catching colds.
