Wuling Hongguang S air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below is an introduction about the cabin air filter: 1. Introduction: The cabin air filter, also known as the air conditioning filter, functions to purify the air entering the vehicle interior from the outside, improving air cleanliness. It typically filters out impurities in the air such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. The purpose of the cabin air filter is to prevent these substances from entering the air conditioning system, thereby protecting the system and providing a healthy air environment for passengers, safeguarding their well-being. 2. Functions: Ensures unfiltered air does not enter the cabin; separates solid impurities like dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc.; has strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption capabilities to prevent car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers, and enhancing driving safety; provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; effectively sterilizes and deodorizes, maintaining clean cabin air free from bacterial growth, creating a healthy environment; efficiently separates solid impurities like dust, core powder, and abrasive particles from the air; effectively blocks pollen to prevent allergic reactions in passengers that could affect driving safety.
I remember the first time I changed the air filter for my Wuling Hongguang was in my rural hometown when the engine sounded off. The mechanic showed me where to find it. After popping the hood, you can see a black plastic box on the right side of the engine, about the size of a palm, usually secured with screws or clips. Once located, just unscrew or unclip it to reveal the air filter inside. Doing it yourself is super easy—just buy a matching new one online for a little over ten yuan. After every haul at the construction site, I make sure to check it. In dusty areas, you’ll need to replace it every 3,000–5,000 km, or the engine will lose power. When replacing, be careful not to let dust fall into the box—clean it thoroughly before installing the new filter, and make sure the cover is tightly secured to prevent air leaks.
As a veteran owner of a Wuling Hongguang for six years, I know best that the air filter box is located on the right side of the engine bay, near the windshield wiper motor. That black square box has metal spring clips—just pry them open. Changing it yourself is super easy: turn off the engine, pop the hood, unclip the box, take out the dirty filter, and buy a new one that matches. Last time I serviced my car, I found the filter completely clogged with dirt. After replacing it, the engine noise immediately became much quieter. The key is to develop a habit of checking it. If you mostly drive in the city, replacing it every 10,000 kilometers is fine, but if you frequently drive on dirt roads or construction sites, check it every 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Doing it yourself can save you dozens of yuan in labor costs, and all you need is a Phillips screwdriver.
