Beidou Star air filter is located under the windshield in front of the front passenger seat. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Open the engine hood; 2. Open the plastic cover of the wiper; 3. Remove the old air filter to replace it. The Beidou Star is a micro car with a body size of 3400mm in length, 1575mm in width, 1670mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2335mm. The Beidou Star is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 71kW, a maximum power speed of 6000rpm, a maximum torque of 120Nm, and is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving my Beidou Star for six or seven years, and the cabin air filter is quite well hidden. It's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you'll need to remove the glove box to access it. First, squeeze the retaining clips on both sides of the glove box towards the center, and the entire compartment can be removed. Behind it, there's a plastic cover—pry it open to reveal the white filter. Replacing it yourself is straightforward; buying the compatible model online costs only about twenty yuan. Last time I went to a repair shop to get it changed, they charged me eighty, which was a total rip-off. Remember to replace it twice a year, otherwise the air coming from the vents will be full of dust, making everyone in the car sneeze. Doing it yourself takes about ten minutes—saves money and hassle.

I always replace the air conditioning filter of my Beidou Star by myself. When locating the filter, just look in front of the passenger seat and remove the glove box. There are rubber bumpers on the side of the glove box; press them inward to remove the entire box. Behind it, there's a rectangular cover; pry open the clips to reveal the filter. Recently, I discovered a trick: when installing the new filter, pay attention to the arrow direction—installing it with the arrow pointing downward is correct. I recommend changing it frequently, especially during the willow catkin season in the north, as a clogged filter will cause the AC to hum loudly without blowing air. Doing it yourself saves at least fifty bucks compared to going to a shop, and you don't have to wait in line.

The air conditioning filter of the Beidou Star is located behind the glove box panel. First, empty the glove box, then press both sides inward with force to remove the entire box. There's a cover with clips behind it; use a flathead screwdriver to pry it open, then pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one. Last time, I found a clever trick: before installing the new filter, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the gaps in the glove box to prevent debris from falling into the blower. It's recommended to replace it every six months, or when there's noticeable resistance when using the external circulation. Changing it yourself is super easy and takes less than ten minutes.
