The air conditioning filter of the Trumpchi GS8 is located inside the glove compartment on the front passenger side. Replacing the air conditioning filter involves a relatively complex disassembly process. To avoid unnecessary damage to components, it is recommended to have it replaced at a 4S shop or repair shop. Below are the specific details about the Trumpchi GS8 air conditioning filter: 1. The Trumpchi GS8 air conditioning filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. After prolonged use, the activated carbon filtration function of the air conditioning filter will diminish, so it is advisable to purchase a compatible air conditioning filter for replacement. If the airflow from the air conditioning system significantly decreases, the filter may be clogged. In such cases, the filter should first be cleaned or replaced if necessary. 2. The Trumpchi GS8 air conditioning filter is located inside the glove compartment on the front passenger side. Replacing the air conditioning filter involves a complex disassembly process, including removing the glove compartment and decorative panels, as well as unscrewing over a dozen screws. To avoid unnecessary damage to components, it is recommended to have it replaced at a 4S shop or repair shop.
I've replaced the air conditioning filter on my GAC Trumpchi GS8 several times. It's located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. The operation isn't too difficult - you'll need to first remove the glove compartment cover, which is usually secured with several screws or clips that can be unscrewed with a screwdriver. Remember to gently pull out the entire glove box to avoid damaging the plastic parts. The filter sits in a small compartment behind it and can be directly pulled out for replacement. I recommend changing it every 10,000-20,000 km or every six months to maintain fresh cabin air, which is especially beneficial for people with allergies. DIY replacement can save you hundreds in labor costs - just prepare a new filter and basic tools, and it takes about 20 minutes. Don't underestimate this small component - it filters dust, pollen, and even bacteria. Not replacing it regularly will reduce airflow and affect cooling efficiency. I always notice significantly improved air quality after replacement, making long drives much more comfortable.
