Where is the Hanteng X7 air conditioning filter located?
3 Answers
Hanteng X7 air conditioning filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat, which can be seen upon opening. The replacement cycle for the air conditioning filter is every 10,000 kilometers. If the airflow from the air conditioner significantly decreases, the air conditioning filter may be clogged. First, clean the filter, and replace it if necessary. The steps for replacing and cleaning the Hanteng X7 air filter are as follows: 1. Open the glove compartment and pull down the small hook on the right side. 2. Pinch both sides of the glove compartment and squeeze inward to remove it. 3. This is the air conditioning filter slot. Release the clips on both sides to pull it out. 4. Pull out the filter slot, install the new filter, and reinstall the glove compartment.
Last time I replaced the air conditioning filter on my Hanteng X7 by myself, and the location was quite easy to find. It's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and the removal process isn't too complicated. First, adjust the passenger seat backward to create some space, then open the glove compartment. You'll see clips on both sides—just press them gently inward to remove the entire glove compartment. The filter slot is behind a rectangular black plastic cover; you can open it by pinching the clip. However, be aware that the OEM filter is quite tightly secured, and it might be a bit challenging to remove the first time. I recommend wearing cut-resistant gloves—I got a small cut from the edge last time. Buying a filter online and replacing it yourself can save a lot of money; just choose a universal model. But remember to check it regularly every three months.
As an owner of the HanTeng X7, I specifically observed the mechanic replacing the cabin air filter during last year's maintenance. The filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side - you need to pull down the glove box to reveal the hidden filter housing. This design is much more convenient than some vehicles that require dashboard removal, making it possible to DIY at home with just a screwdriver. The key point is to ensure the directional arrow on the filter faces downward during installation - reversing it would compromise filtration efficiency. I find this placement quite reasonable; I check it seasonally and replace immediately when visible dust accumulation occurs. Also, it's better to avoid replacement during rainy days as moisture entering the AC system may cause unpleasant odors.
