Bora's air conditioning filter is located under the hood, on the left side of the rain tray at the drainage panel. There are four screws in this position. After removing the screws and pulling out the decorative panel, you can see the air conditioning filter. Specific location: in front of the co-pilot's windshield, under the wiper. Related knowledge about air conditioning filters: 1. Without the air filter, once these particles enter the compartment, not only will the car's air conditioning be polluted and the cooling system's performance reduced, but also the human body will inhale dust and harmful gases, leading to allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and the influence of odors, all of which affect driving safety. 2. High-quality air filters can absorb fine particles, reduce respiratory pain, lessen irritation for allergy sufferers, make driving more comfortable, and protect the air conditioning cooling system.

Last time I changed the cabin air filter for my Volkswagen Bora myself, it's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The removal process is quite convenient - you don't need tools, just press both sides of the glove box with your hands to detach it. You'll see a rectangular plastic cover panel, unclip the fasteners and you can access the filter. Pay attention to the arrow direction on the filter, installing it backwards will affect filtration efficiency. I recommend replacing it every six months, especially installing a new filter before pollen season - you'll clearly feel much fresher air when using AC afterwards. Some experienced car owners neglect this, resulting in a persistent musty smell in their vehicles.

Attention to Volkswagen Bora owners, the cabin air filter is hidden behind the glove box. When performing the operation, remember to empty the storage compartment first, then press inward on both sides of the box with both hands to remove it entirely. Behind the textured cover lies the filter slot. I've noticed that post-2017 Bora models have slightly larger filter dimensions, so when purchasing online, make sure to verify the compatible model year. Avoid using excessive force to pull the cover, as the clips can break easily. It's best to replace the filter before using the AC in summer – the improvement in filtering out willow catkins is immediate, and I personally experienced much smoother breathing.

The cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Three-step removal process: Empty the glove box → Squeeze both sides of the compartment to release hooks → Remove the filter cover plate. Remember to wear gloves during operation as old filters accumulate dust that may cause allergies. New filters feel stiffer when pinched - install with the arrow pointing toward the rear of the vehicle. DIY replacement costs only 30 yuan, while dealerships charge three times more. Replacing before rainy season effectively prevents AC odors.

Replacement Criteria for Sharan Brake Fluid?

Brake fluid does not have a fixed replacement standard; typically, the moisture content of the brake fluid serves as the basis for replacement. This is because moisture lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid, causing vapor to form in the lines during braking, ultimately leading to ineffective travel and making the brake pedal feel soft, thereby affecting braking performance. Most manufacturers recommend replacing the brake fluid every two years or 40,000 kilometers, although this standard is somewhat conservative. Below is additional information: Reasons for replacement every two years or 40,000 kilometers: Manufacturers recommend replacing brake fluid at intervals of two years or 40,000 kilometers as a general consideration, as they cannot precisely monitor the actual condition of the brake fluid in every vehicle sold. For instance, some vehicles are used frequently, subjected to heavy braking loads, or operate in humid environments, while others are used sparingly, experience light braking loads, or are in dry environments. Therefore, to strike a balanced approach, the recommendation of two years or 40,000 kilometers was established. If the vehicle is primarily used for commuting with little aggressive driving, there is no need to adhere strictly to the manufacturer's recommendation; simply refer to the moisture content. Brake fluid replacement criteria: When the moisture content of the brake fluid reaches 3.5%, it can be replaced. Of course, if the driving environment is merely congested urban traffic, delaying replacement slightly is acceptable. In congested urban conditions with low average speeds, frequent braking does not generate excessive heat, so replacement within a 4% moisture content is sufficient.

Why can't the rear door of Mercedes-Benz GLC260 be opened from the inside?

If the rear door of a Mercedes-Benz GLC cannot be opened from the inside, it is usually due to the child lock being engaged. The owner needs to move the child lock on the side of the door in the opposite direction and turn it to the unlocked position to open the door. If the child lock is not engaged, then there might be an issue with the car, and it should be sent for repair promptly. Function of the Child Safety Lock: The child safety lock is used for the rear doors of the vehicle to prevent the danger of the doors being opened from the inside while the vehicle is moving. When this device is activated, even if the electronic central door lock is opened, the device remains in the locked state. To open the rear door, it can only be done from the outside switch when the central door lock is in the unlocked state. Solution for the Child Safety Lock: The car child safety lock, also known as the door lock child safety, is located on the rear door lock. Open the rear door, and below the lock, there is a small lever (safety mechanism). Move it toward the end with the child icon, then close the door. At this point, the door cannot be opened from the inside but only from the outside. Its purpose is to prevent active and unaware children from opening the door while the car is moving, thereby avoiding danger. In this case, the door can only be opened from the outside by an adult after the car is parked. If the rear door cannot be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside, it is highly likely that the child safety lock is engaged. This happens when passengers in the rear seat accidentally activate the safety mechanism while getting in or out of the car. Simply reset it to resolve the issue.

When can I get the license plate after selection?

Selected license plates can be obtained within 3 to 5 working days. You can submit a self-compiled license plate number on the vehicle management office website. A vehicle's license plate number serves as its identification code. Generally, blue plates represent ordinary private vehicles, yellow plates indicate regular large vehicles, white plates denote military or police vehicles, while black plates are used by foreign investors in China or important figures. License plates are metal or plastic sheets affixed to the front and rear of vehicles, typically made of aluminum, iron, plastic or paper. Their primary function is to identify the vehicle's registration region and enable tracking of ownership and registration details through the plate number.
