Where is the cabin air filter located in the Ford EcoSport?
2 Answers
Ford EcoSport's cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. The cabin air filter, also known as the air conditioning filter, serves to prevent harmful substances from entering the air conditioning system and damaging it, providing passengers with a good air environment, protecting the health of occupants, and preventing glass fogging. The Ford EcoSport offers three powertrain options: a 2.0L direct injection engine, a 1.0L turbocharged direct injection engine, and a 1.5L engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle comes standard with RSC Roll Stability Control, TVC Torque Vectoring Control, intelligent four-wheel drive system, front MacPherson strut independent suspension, and rear multi-link independent suspension.
I'm the kind of person who enjoys DIY car repairs, and I'm very familiar with the location of the Ford EcoSport's cabin air filter—it's hidden inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, you need to open the glove compartment, then look for plastic clips on both sides. Press them and gently push, and the glove compartment will lower. Then you'll see the cabin air filter housing, which looks like a small drawer. I've changed it several times myself, and every time I pull out the filter, it's covered in gray-black dirt—no wonder the air in the car always smells bad. Remember to replace it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. A genuine one from Taobao costs just a few dozen yuan; don't cheap out and buy a knockoff. Also, keep a screwdriver and a small light handy. Taking apart the glove compartment isn't hard, but be careful not to break the plastic clips. Doing this job is quite rewarding—not only do you save on labor costs, but you also ensure the filter is installed correctly to avoid uneven airflow.
