Where is the Air Filter of the Trumpchi GS8 Located?
2 Answers
The air filter of the Trumpchi GS8 is located inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. The function of the air filter is to purify the air entering the cabin from the outside, thereby improving air cleanliness. The Trumpchi GS8 is a large seven-seater SUV. Taking the 2021 Trumpchi GS8 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4835 mm, width 1910 mm, height 1785 mm, with a wheelbase of 2800 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The 2021 Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 185 kW and a maximum torque of 390 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I've been driving the Trumpchi GS8 for several years and I'm very familiar with the location of the cabin air filter. It's located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. If you want to replace it, first you need to remove the glove box. There are clips or small screws on both sides of the glove compartment - just gently pry them open with a flathead screwdriver or loosen them, and the entire glove box can be removed. Once removed, you'll see a white plastic cover inside - that's the filter housing. Open the cover, pull out the old filter, and insert a new one. New filters are easily available at auto parts stores or online - just make sure to select the GS8-specific model. I recommend replacing it about once a year, depending on how dusty your driving environment is. It only takes me about ten minutes to replace it myself, saving the cost of going to the dealership. Regular replacement has great benefits: the AC airflow becomes stronger and cooler, it prevents musty odors in the car, and keeps the air much fresher. Especially during pollen season or in areas with heavy air pollution, a new filter can effectively remove dust and particles, so you don't have to worry about sneezing or coughing while driving. The location isn't hard to find - remember it for easy and practical maintenance.
