The air conditioning filter element of Ford Transit is located behind the glove box. Below are the specific details about Ford Transit: 1. Exterior: Ford Transit is a light passenger vehicle. Its length, width, and height are 5782mm, 2000mm, and 2360mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3750mm. It comes in four seating configurations: 6, 7, 15, and 17 seats, offering ample space and easy modification, making it suitable for conversion into a motorhome. 2. Interior: The seats are ergonomically designed and made of genuine leather. It is equipped with a high-power split air conditioning system, a car refrigerator, intelligent welcome pedals, and a high-rigidity load-bearing body, significantly enhancing ride comfort. 3. Powertrain: Ford Transit is powered by a 2.2T PUMA diesel engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 135 and a maximum torque of 350N·m, paired with a German GFT 6-speed transmission. This engine utilizes the latest generation of high-pressure common rail electronic control technology, improving engine efficiency and demonstrating excellent operability and safety.

I remember when I changed the air conditioning filter on my Ford Transit myself, I always thought it was hidden in a strange place. The specific location is in the passenger side footwell area—you need to open the door, crouch down, and look under the dashboard. There’s usually a cover or plastic clip securing it; just gently pry it open with a tool to access the filter. Every time, I first remove the clutter under the glove box, then unscrew the bolts and pull off that small panel. The key is not to use too much force, or you might break the clips. I recommend replacing it every six months or 10,000 kilometers, especially for city driving like ours where air pollution is heavy. Delaying replacement can reduce airflow and even cause odors. Regular checks can also save money by preventing future AC system issues. It’s easy to DIY—no need for a repair shop—saving time and being practical.

As someone who frequently works with various car models, let me talk about the location of the air conditioning filter in the new-generation Ford. It is mainly located in the footwell area in front of the front passenger seat, and can be accessed by removing the glove box or the lower trim panel. The first step is to clear out any items in the storage compartment, then use a screwdriver to loosen several fastening points and gently remove the cover plate. If the filter is clogged with dust, it indicates reduced air filtration efficiency, which can easily lead to weak airflow or strange odors. I recommend replacing it with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part to ensure proper fit. Develop a habit of observing changes in the air vents while driving, such as noticing weakened airflow, and promptly checking the filter. This not only helps maintain the air conditioning system's lifespan but also enhances driving comfort. During the replacement process, check for any loose wiring connections to prevent future issues.

I've handled the cabin air filter replacement on my Ford New Generation before. It's located in the passenger footwell area. You'll need to crouch down near the front passenger door to find it, covered by a removable panel. The process is straightforward: first clear any items under the glove box, then gently release the clips to remove the cover, revealing the filter. The placement isn't particularly hard to locate, but first-timers should take care not to use excessive force that might damage the plastic components. When installing the new filter, pay attention to its orientation - make sure the arrow points inward. It's recommended to replace it every six months, especially during seasons with poor air quality, as accumulated dust significantly reduces effectiveness. This routine maintenance ensures cleaner air and greater peace of mind during daily driving.

Reasons for Diesel Engine Fuel Injector Not Spraying Fuel

Injector failures are primarily caused by needle valve issues due to contaminants in the diesel engine. The main reason is that the injector tip in the combustion chamber is exposed to prolonged high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. Below are the causes and solutions: 1. Poor injector atomization: When injection pressure is too low, nozzle holes are worn with carbon deposits, or spring end faces are worn with reduced tension, the injector may open prematurely and close late, resulting in poor fuel atomization. For single-cylinder diesel engines, this prevents operation; for multi-cylinder engines, it causes power loss, black exhaust smoke, and abnormal engine noise. Additionally, oversized diesel droplets that fail to combust completely may flow down cylinder walls into the oil pan, raising oil levels, reducing viscosity, worsening lubrication, and potentially causing bearing seizure or cylinder scoring. Solution: Disassemble, clean, inspect, and recalibrate the injector. 2. Damaged injector return line: When needle valve pairs are severely worn or the needle valve body fits loosely with the injector housing, return fuel flow increases significantly (up to 0.1-0.3kg/h). A damaged or missing return line wastes this fuel. The return line must be intact and sealed to allow fuel to flow back to the tank. If connected to the diesel filter, its end should have a check valve to prevent backflow.

What should I do if I scratched someone else's car while parking and then left?

It is considered hit-and-run, but if it's just a minor scratch without causing a serious accident, it does not constitute a crime and will be handled as a general traffic violation. If the estimated repair cost is not high, or if you are willing to cover the repair expenses, the best approach is to leave your contact information and express your willingness to take full responsibility.

What Are the Reasons Why a Diesel Vehicle Won't Shut Off?

When starting a diesel vehicle, the key only drives the flywheel to rotate, causing the piston to move and compress for combustion, which in turn pushes the crankshaft to reciprocate. Unlike gasoline vehicles, which rely on the key to control spark plug ignition, the diesel engine's starter motor ignites the engine and then becomes irrelevant. Even if the key is turned off, the high-pressure fuel pump continues to supply fuel regularly, unaffected by the key being turned off. Here are the solutions: 1. Directly disconnect the fuel line switch: This mechanical fuel line switch may be located under the seat or on the lower left side of the steering wheel, as the placement varies by vehicle model, so it's impossible to specify an exact location. 2. Electronic fuel injection diesel engines: Similar to gasoline engines, the key must be in the 'on' position for the system to receive power. The ECU controls the fuel injectors to spray fuel. Therefore, turning off the key in such diesel engines stops the fuel injectors from working, effectively cutting off the fuel supply and allowing the engine to shut off.
