Where is the cabin air filter located in Dongfeng Fengshen H30?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Fengshen H30's cabin air filter is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. On the outer side facing the seat, there are three screws. After removing these screws and prying open the cover plate, you will see a long sliding cover. There is a screw on the left side; remove this screw and slide the cover to the left to reveal the filter. To replace it, remove the old cabin air filter and install the new one by reversing the removal steps. The Dongfeng Fengshen H30 is a compact car manufactured by Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle, with body dimensions of 4351mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1528mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. The car is equipped with an engine that delivers a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 45Nm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a longitudinal swing arm independent rear suspension with a stabilizer bar.
I've been driving my Dongfeng Fengshen H30 for several years, and the location of the cabin air filter is quite clear—it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I've replaced it myself a few times, and the process is straightforward: open the glove compartment door, look carefully at the innermost area, where there's usually a small cover or clip. Just pry it open with a bit of force, and inside is the filter drawer. The location is well-chosen, inside the cabin, away from the oil and grime of the engine bay. I generally recommend replacing the filter every 12 months or 15,000 kilometers to keep the air inside the car fresh, filtering out pollen, dust, and fog. Once, I forgot to replace it, and the airflow from the AC weakened with an odd smell, which really affected my driving mood. Now that I know the location, I don’t need to waste money at the repair shop during maintenance—DIY saves hassle and hones my hands-on skills. A related tip: when replacing the filter, take a moment to clean out the dust in the air ducts to improve cooling efficiency.
