Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Transit?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter in the Transit is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. To separate dust, powder, and grinding particles from the air; 2. To ensure clean air in the cabin and prevent bacterial growth. The Transit is a vehicle under Jiangling Ford. Taking the 2020 Transit as an example, its body dimensions are 5341mm in length, 2032mm in width, 2061mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3300mm. The 2020 Transit is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 148.5kW and a maximum power speed of 5500rpm.
I've been driving a Transit van for several years and know the location of the cabin air filter very well—it's right behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Removing the glove box is quite simple: open it, locate the clips or buttons on both sides of the compartment, press gently, and it comes right off. Then, you'll see the filter slot; just pull the cover to remove it. I've changed it myself a few times—it saves money and is very convenient. Buying a matching model online costs just around 10 to 20 yuan. Regular replacement is crucial, typically every 1 to 2 years or after driving about 20,000 kilometers. Otherwise, accumulated dust and pollen can degrade the air quality inside the car, and in summer, the airflow from the AC may weaken. Once, I forgot to replace it and felt dizzy and groggy while hauling goods. Luckily, I noticed in time and replaced it with a new one. When replacing, choose a clear day and park in a clean spot to avoid dust flying in. Remember to check the direction arrow when installing the new filter—don’t put it in backward, as it affects performance.
