2 Answers
The method for replacing the cabin air filter in the Weiwang 306 is: 1. Remove the glove compartment on the passenger side; 2. Take out the old cabin air filter and install the new one. Taking the 2016 Weiwang 306 as an example, it is a microvan with the following dimensions: length 4030mm, width 1636mm, height 1907mm, wheelbase 2700mm, minimum ground clearance 150mm, fuel tank capacity 45L, and curb weight 1150kg. The 2016 Weiwang 306 features MacPherson strut front suspension, longitudinal leaf spring rear suspension, and a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
As a frequent DIY car repairer and owner of a Weiwang, I find replacing the air conditioning filter in the Weiwang 306 quite straightforward—just locate the right spot. The filter is usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, so the first step is to open it. There might be clips or screws on both sides; gently press or unscrew them to remove the compartment, but avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the plastic parts. Next, you'll see a small rectangular cover. Open it and pull out the old filter. If it appears blackened or has mold spots, it's definitely time for a replacement. For the new filter, it's best to opt for genuine Weiwang parts or compatible models—don’t skimp and end up with the wrong size. When reinstalling, align the arrow on the filter with the airflow direction, typically pointing downward. Reattach the cover and secure the glove compartment back in place—the whole process takes about ten minutes. I recommend changing it every 10,000 kilometers or every six months. Doing it yourself saves hundreds compared to a repair shop and prevents bacterial growth that could affect health. Also, regularly check the glove compartment for any obstructions blocking the vents.
