Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Transit?
2 Answers
The original Ford Transit does not come with an air conditioning filter installed. The reserved installation position for the air conditioning filter is at the air conditioning outlet under the front hood of the vehicle. Extended related information is as follows: 1. In terms of transmission, the Ford Transit offers a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. 2. In terms of power, the Ford Transit is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, available in both diesel and gasoline versions. 3. Diesel version: Maximum horsepower is 121, maximum power is 89kw, maximum torque is 300N·m, and top speed is 156km/h. 4. Gasoline version: Maximum horsepower is 202, maximum power is 148.5kw, maximum torque is 300N·m, and top speed is 156km/h. 5. In terms of body structure: The Ford Transit offers two structures to choose from, a box-type transport vehicle and a multi-purpose commercial vehicle, catering to the needs of different consumer groups.
To be honest, I've worked on quite a few Transit vans, and the cabin air filter is almost always hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to remove the entire glove box first - just pop open those few clips, then there's a plastic cover inside. Open it up and you'll find the filter compartment. Why put it there? Because the design prioritizes easy maintenance. The system draws in air from that location to filter out dust and pollen. It's quite convenient for DIY replacement - generally recommended every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers. A new filter only costs a few dozen yuan, and prevents musty odors and bacterial buildup in the AC system. If you don't replace it, a clogged filter reduces cooling efficiency - imagine suffering through a summer road trip with weak AC.
