Question about Air Filters

**yojstamaria** · June 7th, 2013 03:10 AM

Hi Sirs,

Ask ko lang kasi nung nakuha ko itong kotse ko 2nd hand, tapos nung me nabasa akong user's manual, Me instructions dun pano palitan yung cabin air filter, sinunod ko, and to my surprise, walang laman na air filter yung casings, so I went to Casa, asked if I could buy one, hindi daw sila nagkakabit nun, He even showed me their catalog at wala syang part number pero nandun sya sa picture.

Pero nakikita ko online, may mga ganung binebenta at yung nakita kong video instruction sa youtube, may lamang dahon yung filters nung tinanggal, worried ako baka pasukin ng kung ano ano yung Aircon system ko dahil walang filters. Totoo kaya na di natin need yun? If not, san kaya makakabili nun? Im looking to DIY this with Aircon filter na nabibili sa Ace hardware kung wala akong makikitang filter elements nito

Another question, yung air filter box ko under the hood, na lose thread yung dalawang screw holes, mukhang hinigpitan masyado nung huling nagkabit nung air filter element nag crack dun sa may threads ng screw holes. may remedyo pa ba dito? Or need tong palitan? If need palitan san nakakabili nun?

Thanks po in advance!

is there any damage to the a/c? if not, baka naman hindi talaga kailangan. If your really worried, go to auto shops and find specific measurements of the filter at baka may kapareho. yung iba stocking lang with a thin cotton layer to act as filters.

Sir since nakakita ka na sa youtube kailangan talaga ung cabin air filter, pwede ka mag DIY problem lan kung meron ba frame na pwede mo magamit to hold ung filter, otherwise need mo muna makabili ng OEM or aftermarket, try mo sa sulit. Ung crack plastic kung nagtitipid ka pwede ikaw ang gumawa or dalhin mo sa raon para dun mo pa-build ung part na basag (kung familiar ka sa pustiso ung powder at resin na ginamit ng mga dentist) ung pwede gamitin un para i-build up ung damaged plastic.

umm civic po kotse ko....

yup andun yung casings ng filter wala nga lang filters. Sobrang dumi na nga actually mukhang papasok dun sa intake na hangin. Try ko hanapin sa banawe kung meron, kung wala stockings muna para wala lulusot na malalaking bagay, then order ako online.

ung sa Air Filter box ko po kaya under sa hood magagawan pa paraan yun or need ko magpalit? Ayoko kasi nung mga air filters na hindi stock eh. I want to stay stock as possible.

Madaming mas magandang air filters kaysa oem. Kung gusto mo ng oem, then you'll be shelling out more money for paper filters, nothing special to it. Bilin mo sa dealership if they still carry your car's air filters. If you're willing to step out of your comfort zone, there are so many products out there that will fair better than oem filters. I recently replaced my cabin air filter with arm and hammer brand - am a happy camper.
