Where is the air intake of a van located?
2 Answers
The air intake (air filter assembly) is located under the co-driver's seat. Below is additional information: 1. Engine model: The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry practices, and engine attributes to a batch of identical products. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and brake power. 2. Air intake characteristics: The design of air intakes varies, but their function remains the same—to supply fresh air to the engine and provide ventilation and cooling for heat sources such as the air conditioning condenser, radiator, and oil cooler that require cooling.
The air intake of most vans is hidden behind the front grille. When you open the hood, follow the air filter pipe forward, and it's usually located near the radiator. Some models are designed above the inner side of the bumper to reduce the risk of water ingress. During routine maintenance, I always pay special attention to whether this area is blocked by leaves or debris, as restricted airflow can affect engine performance. When encountering waterlogged roads during rainy days, it's essential to check the height of the air intake—preferably not exceeding half the wheel depth, as water ingestion can cause serious engine trouble. Designs vary by brand; for example, Wuling often places it behind the logo, while Changan sometimes positions it on the driver's side.
