● Recommendation index for replacing air conditioning filter element: ★★★☆☆
The replacement interval of air conditioning filters for most models is one year. Of course, vehicles in different driving environments need to be adjusted according to their own conditions. Except for a few models that are difficult to replace by themselves due to the installation location, the air conditioning filter elements of many models can be replaced by themselves.
First of all, you should know the location of the air-conditioning filter element of your car model. You can get the answer from the vehicle owner's manual or the 4S store. Generally, the air-conditioning filter element of a vehicle is under the center console (it varies from left to right). There is nothing difficult about the replacement process. It is nothing more than disassembling the casing, taking out the filter element and replacing it with a new one. Since the position of the air-conditioning filter element in each car is different, the disassembly and assembly methods are also different, so we will not introduce it in detail here. However, it should be noted that some vehicle disassembly processes must follow a fixed sequence or require some tools and skills. You can consult the worker during maintenance and try it several times at home according to the formal method.
Using this method, car owners can check the accessories regularly. When they find that the air-conditioning filter element is dirty but has not yet reached the level of replacement, they can simply clean it. However, it should be noted that the air-conditioning filter element should not be washed with water, otherwise the filter element will easily become soft and rotten when exposed to water. At the same time, when buying new accessories, you need to pay attention to it. Try to choose a more formal parts store to buy. Otherwise, in order to save a few maintenance costs, using fake products will not only waste money, but also be a loss to the vehicle and the car owner.
● Recommended index for air filter replacement: ★★★☆☆
Like the air conditioning filter element, the replacement interval of the air filter element should be about 1-1.5 years. The specific replacement time will be determined according to the degree of pollution. As for the replacement method, each car model is different.
Take the Swift model in this experiment as an example. The air filter element is located inside the engine compartment. When replacing it, you need to manually loosen the clips on both sides. Then the edge of the air filter element will be exposed, and then pull it out from one side. Qualified car owners can ask the maintenance master during the first few maintenances. After one or two exercises, they can become proficient in the operation, which is simple and can save maintenance costs.
● Recommendation index for replacing glass water: ★★★★★
There are not many friends who believe that you have to go to a 4S shop to replace the glass water. If you are unfortunate enough to be among these few people, be careful. This is an extremely easy task. When the glass water is insufficient and cannot be sprayed out normally, buy a bottle of glass water, open the engine cover, find a cover on the left with a glass and water spray mark (usually blue or yellow), and pour the glass water in.
