Where is the air filter of Wuling Zhiguang located?
2 Answers
The air filter of Wuling Zhiguang is located behind the glove box. After opening the glove box, apply a slight upward force to disengage the lower clip from the pivot, then move the glove box downward to detach the upper baffle, revealing the air filter. The Wuling Zhiguang is a microvan with body dimensions of 3797mm in length, 1510mm in width, 1820mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2500mm. It is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 56 kW and a maximum torque of 108 Nm. The vehicle features a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and longitudinal leaf spring rear suspension.
I've been repairing Wuling vehicles for many years, and I'm extremely familiar with the location of the cabin air filter. In the Wuling Zhiguang, it's hidden under the dashboard on the passenger side, specifically behind the glove box. You need to open the glove box and carefully inspect the back or bottom of the interior. There are usually two clips or screws securing a cover plate. Use a standard Phillips screwdriver to gently remove the screws, then push or pull the clips to take off the cover plate and reveal the filter slot. When replacing, don't yank it out forcefully—gently pull out the old filter and check how much dust or odor it has accumulated. If it's blackened or deformed, it's time for a replacement. I recommend changing it every 10,000 kilometers, especially in areas with heavy sandstorms. Doing it yourself is simple and takes just a few minutes. Don't overlook this small maintenance task—a clogged filter reduces airflow from the AC, affecting cooling efficiency and potentially causing unpleasant odors inside the car, which can be harmful to health. When installing the new filter, pay attention to the front and back markings to avoid installing it upside down.
