Where is the Cabin Air Filter Located in a Chevrolet Epica?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in a Chevrolet Epica is located inside the black cover in the engine compartment directly in front of the front passenger seat. Simply lift the cover to access it. Taking the 2013 Chevrolet Epica as an example, it is classified as a midsize car with the following dimensions: length 4808mm, width 1807mm, height 1450mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 64L, and curb weight 1435kg. The 2013 Chevrolet Epica features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum horsepower of 143PS, maximum power of 105kW, and maximum torque of 175Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I remember on my Chevrolet Epica, the cabin air filter is usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Just open the glove box and reach inside, you'll feel a small panel. Unscrew a few screws and you can pull it out. Changing the filter yourself is quite simple. I check it every six months or every 10,000 kilometers, otherwise the AC vents will accumulate dust and bacteria, making my nose particularly sensitive while driving. Last time I changed it, I almost forgot about the arrow direction - it must align with the airflow indicator, otherwise the filtration efficiency drops. The filter location is reasonably designed, just a regular Phillips screwdriver is enough. Don't waste money getting it changed at a shop - buying OEM parts online costs just a few dozen yuan. Save that money for fuel instead. Changing it regularly keeps the cabin air fresh, especially more comfortable during long trips. Remember to empty the glove compartment before starting to avoid dropping items that might get stuck.
