    Hi guys,

    I noticed that my A/C fan/blower is not that strong so i decided to have it looked at when I had my 20T Kms PMS * speedyfix. They found out that the cabin air filter (somewhere inside the glove compartment ) is already very dirty and needs to be replaced already. BTW, my car is a 2008 Honda City 1.5A M/T Vtec

    Migs tried to scout for the cabin air filter but according to him, there's no other recourse but OEM. I asked for the price and its 4.2K so i decided to just have it cleaned using compressed air (for a minimal fee). And the blower was stronger after.

    Q: Do I have to replace the cabin air filters with a new one from honda? or should I just have it cleaned once in a while? are there any generic / cheaper filters available?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can jury rig one using those paper generic home a/c flat a/c filters. Just gut the old element out of your current element and mold the generic filter on it. There are some online sites and forums that detail this.

    Me, I just removed the filter on the Jazz. My other car doesn't have a filter anyway and I always keep the windows up and use the a/c in recirc mode.

    That freakin' a/c filter is even more expensive than the original engine air filter of a brand new Nissan Patrol!

    3M Filtrete + aquarium air filter = cheap but good replacement.

    Heck even just Filtrete will help massively already.

    Masarap din kasi minsan mag DIY ng mga gagawin sa kotse. Mas na-aapreciate mo yung results and never ka madidisappoint.
    Kung di ka kuntento sa resulta, sasabihin mo lang sa sarili mo, "pwede na yan".
