Where is the air filter of Baojun E100 located?

[VanElla]

The SAIC Baojun E100 does not have an air filter, only an air conditioning filter located inside the plastic cover under the driver's footwell. According to the maintenance manual, the car's air filter should generally be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or every other maintenance interval. However, it is recommended to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the formation of throttle sludge. The function of the air filter: to filter out particulate impurities in the air, ensuring that sufficient clean air enters the cylinders and preventing floating dust in the air from being sucked into the engine, which accelerates the wear of the piston group and cylinders. Air filter: It is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms as an air filtration device. During operation, the engine inhales a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the suspended dust particles in the air will be drawn into the cylinders, accelerating the wear of the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, which is particularly serious in dry and sandy working environments. The air cleaner is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. Dirty air cleaner: Using an excessively dirty air cleaner while driving can cause insufficient air intake into the engine, leading to incomplete fuel combustion, resulting in unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is essential to keep the air cleaner clean. The car's air cleaner is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or several components that clean the air. Its main function is to filter out harmful impurities from the air before it enters the cylinders, thereby reducing early wear of the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Therefore, before air enters the cylinders, it must pass through the fine filtration of the air cleaner. A dirty air cleaner can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When inspecting the air cleaner, if you find little dust and minor blockage, you can use high-pressure air to blow it clean from the inside out and continue using it. Excessively dirty air cleaners should be replaced promptly.
