How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter in an Old Tiida?
2 Answers
Method for replacing the cabin air filter in an old Tiida: Remove the glove box and proceed with the replacement. It is recommended to replace the cabin air filter annually, as its function is to filter outside air to maintain fresh air inside the vehicle. Functions of the cabin air 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 abrasive particles from the air. The Tiida is a vehicle produced by Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company, with dimensions of 4393 mm in length, 1766 mm in width, and 1524 mm in height. The Tiida's engine utilizes technologies such as variable valve timing and double overhead camshafts, with an all-aluminum inline four-cylinder configuration.
Replacing the air conditioning filter in an old Tiida is actually not difficult, and I often do it myself. The filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, open the glove compartment, press down on the clips on both sides to release it, and you'll see the filter cover. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws or simply pry open the cover, being careful not to damage the plastic parts. When removing the old filter, check the airflow direction arrow—the arrow on the new filter must face the driver's seat inside the car. While replacing it, you can also clean the surrounding dust to prevent blockages. I recommend choosing a carbon filter type for better odor filtration, replacing it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year to maintain high AC efficiency and protect your health. All you need is a screwdriver and a new filter, which costs just a few bucks, and you can finish the job in 10 minutes, saving a lot of money. Don’t forget to test the AC afterward to check the airflow.
