How to Replace the Air Conditioning Filter in Geely Emgrand GL?
3 Answers
Emgrand GL's air conditioning filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the glove compartment, release the clips on both sides with your fingers, then lift upwards to remove the clips. Lower the glove compartment to reveal a black cover panel. Press the clips on both sides to remove the cover panel, and you will see the air conditioning filter. Remove the old filter and replace it with a new one. Below is an introduction to the air conditioning filter: 1. The air conditioning filter is specifically designed for air purification inside the car cabin. It uses high-efficiency adsorption material—activated carbon combined with long-fiber non-woven fabric to form an activated carbon composite filter cloth. It has a compact structure and can effectively filter smoke odor, pollen, dust, harmful gases, and various odors. 2. The filter can also efficiently filter and adsorb particulate impurities, achieving oil filtration and air purification performance while effectively removing organic gases such as TVOC, benzene, phenol, ammonia, formaldehyde, xylene, and styrene. 3. The replacement of the car's air conditioning filter actually depends on the vehicle usage. For general urban household cars, it is recommended to replace it every six months or once a year.
Last time I helped my friend replace the air filter in his Emgrand GL, I found it was actually quite simple. First, fully open the glove box and pull it upwards firmly to remove the entire glove box. Then, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover at the back with small clips on both sides—just press gently to open it. At this point, the old filter will be exposed; pay attention to the arrow direction. Insert the new filter with the arrow facing the same direction as the old one, close the cover, and finally push the bottom of the glove box back into its track. The whole process takes less than ten minutes. However, I recommend wearing a mask during the operation, as the old filter is full of dust and leaves.
As an experienced mechanic, I've replaced hundreds of cabin air filters for Emgrand GLs. The key is to decisively remove the glove box - firmly lift both sides upwards simultaneously, don't be afraid to use some force. The retaining clips can be released by pressing their centers with your thumb. Pay attention to the foolproof design of the filter - the arrow should point toward the blower (facing the driver's seat). When buying a new filter, opt for the dual-effect version with activated carbon that can filter PM2.5. DIY replacement saves over 200 yuan compared to dealership service, just avoid doing it on windy days to prevent dust from blowing into the cabin.
