Where is the Wuling Journey's Cabin Air Filter Located?
2 Answers
The Wuling Journey's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the front passenger side. Below are details regarding the replacement cycle and precautions for the cabin air filter: Cabin Air Filter Replacement Cycle: First, the filter should be cleaned or replaced if necessary. The frequency of cleaning depends on road conditions (dusty roads, etc.). It is recommended to clean it earlier rather than later. The cabin air filter must be correctly installed in its designated position. Operating the air conditioning system without the filter in place may degrade its dustproof performance. It is advisable to replace the cabin air filter twice a year. Precautions for Replacing the Cabin Air Filter: The cabin air filter tends to accumulate a significant amount of dust. Use tools like a rubber air blower or high-pressure air gun to remove loose dust. Never wash it with water, as this can easily render it unusable. Over time, the activated carbon filtration function of the cabin air filter diminishes. Therefore, you can purchase a compatible replacement filter from the automotive parts market.
I often tinker with the air conditioning filter of my Wuling Capgemini myself, and its location is actually quite easy to find—usually behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to open the glove box, where you might see clips or screws inside. Just unscrew them or gently pull them out by hand to remove the glove box. After that, there will be a small cover or something similar; opening it reveals the filter tucked inside, which you can simply pull out gently. The tools required are minimal—a Phillips screwdriver is sufficient, and for some models, you don’t even need a screwdriver—just push and pull to remove it. Personally, I recommend replacing it every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or about once a year to prevent the filter from clogging, which could reduce airflow or cause a musty smell. When replacing, don’t forget to align the arrow direction on the filter to ensure smooth airflow. Doing it yourself saves money and gives peace of mind, as shops tend to charge high prices. If the glove box is difficult to remove, check the fixing points on both sides carefully and avoid pulling too hard to prevent damaging the parts. Overall, the design is quite user-friendly, making it accessible even for beginners to give it a try.
