What is a cabin filter?

If you bought a car 2013 release, then the cabin filter must be installed. On cars released earlier than 2008, this element may not be.

Replacing my own salon filter at Kia LED, the same principle can be detected on a large number of models of this concern - indeed, with this layout of the compartment of the cabin filter, the access method selected by the designers can be called the best.
How often do you need to replace?
The replacement of the cabin filter KIA LED is traditionally part of everyone else and should be performed on the regulations every 15 thousand kilometers. Nevertheless, the filter in dimensions is small, and it can not always confidently withstand such a life.
Most often, the reason for the replacement of the filter to the regulatory is becoming:
- Frequent riding on dirt roads: a large amount of dust passing through the filter quickly scores its pores. It is exacerbated by a horizontal filter installation - with a vertical part of the accumulated dust, it is referred to from the curtain down into the compartment, here the whole it remains on the filter.
- In the same way accumulate right on the filter of the leaves, pollen, a poplar fluff. In the humid air they begin to rot, and again, thanks to the horizontal location of the filter, the rotting products quickly impregnate the curtain. As a result, shaking the filter becomes useless - only replacing the replacement.
- In traffic jams additional source Pollution - exhaust gases containing a decent amount of soot microparticles. Similarly, "traces" of factory pipes are also valid, although they are distributed for more squares. A characteristic black and gray raid, which can be detected on the filter - it is soot. In addition, the exhaust gases quickly clog the sorbent coal filters - Even if the filter itself has not lost tangible bandwidth, it will begin to skip the smells.

On the second generation, we remove the temperature sensor at the left foot of the passenger, who dismounts the connector and turning the sensor counterclockwise:
In the opening opening we bring the tube, the remaining actions are the same.
