Where is the air filter of Trumpchi GS5 located?
2 Answers
Trumpchi GS5 air filter is located inside the glove box on the passenger side. Remove the glove box to access the air filter. Below is some related information about the air filter: 1. The manufacturer recommends replacing the air filter every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, and it can be cleaned every 5,000 kilometers. 2. However, if the air conditioning is frequently used in environments with severe pollution, sand, or mud, the replacement interval should be shortened accordingly. 3. The steps and operations for replacing the air filter are relatively complex, so it is generally recommended to seek professional assistance from a 4S store or automotive after-sales service center for disassembly and installation.
I've been driving the GS5 for several years and often change the air conditioning filter myself. It's conveniently located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Just use a screwdriver to remove a few clips when taking out the glove box, and you'll see the filter housing. Swapping the old filter for a new one is straightforward—just order the matching model online, and it costs around twenty yuan. Regularly changing it has its benefits: the air from the AC is cleaner without dust odors, especially during pollen season, helping prevent allergies. I replace it every six months, being careful not to rush as the plastic clips can crack easily. After replacement, just reinstall the glove box in place. DIY saves some maintenance costs and helps familiarize you with your car's structure, so you won’t worry about AC issues on long drives. Beginners are advised to watch video tutorials first to avoid mistakes.
