Replacing the air conditioning filter on a Great Wall H6 is actually quite simple. I've done it several times, the key is finding the right location. First, sit in the passenger seat and open the glove box. You'll notice clips or damping rods on both sides inside—removing these allows you to detach the entire glove box. Then, look inside to find a black plastic cover over the filter slot. Gently unclip it to remove the cover. When taking out the old filter, pay attention to the airflow direction arrow, and insert the new filter in the same orientation. Finally, reattach the cover and glove box. I recommend keeping a Phillips screwdriver handy, as some models may have tighter clips that need a little leverage. Regularly replacing the filter helps prevent odors and bacterial growth inside the car—doing it once a year is ideal. If you're not confident doing it yourself, you can always visit a 4S shop for assistance—they're more experienced. Don't worry about damaging the car; practice makes perfect. Just remember to prioritize safety and avoid forcing anything.
Let me share my experience. The cabin air filter for the Haval H6 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening it, you'll need to remove small components like connecting rods to access the filter cover. When prying open the cover to remove the old filter, note the arrow indicating airflow direction. Install the new filter in the same orientation, then reseal the cover and reassemble the glove box. The whole process takes about ten minutes, requiring just a screwdriver or can even be done barehanded. Why replace it? A clogged filter reduces AC airflow efficiency, and fresh filters provide cleaner air which is better for respiratory health. Before replacement, check your owner's manual for the correct part number to avoid purchasing the wrong filter. Work slowly and carefully during installation, maintaining clean hands for hygiene. This DIY job saves significant money - self-replacement costs just tens of RMB versus hundreds at a dealership, making it both economical and practical.
