[QUOTE="eterna22, post: 16473, member: 9859"] OK Guys,After the HOT HOT HOT weather nowadays i feel that my aircond air is not windy enough(its cold just not enough VOLUME), and it contains a certain 'smell' when i first start the car. Found out that it is actually this.Open the bonet, take a look at the pic. under the diagram A , there is actually a long filter supposingly a vent that will actually lead to our aircond.ON the diagram A , there is 3 screw, which is circled in RED. that screw is a spring screw type, no need to use any screw driver. just press it down with your FINGERS and turn 90 degrees to the LEFT to open.... after open the screw will actually bounces up...DO NOT REMOVE IT. just leave it there in its BOUNCED UP LOCATION.put your hands below DIAGRAM A and LIFT IT . you can lift it about 2inches..... under that u can see a FILTER similar to your air filter material. with 1 hand holding up DIAGRAM A use the other hand to CABUT the filter out... you just need to lift the FILTER up and u can pull it OUT. not sure about your car, but for me my filter is VERY Dirty. got hair, sand and small stones, leaves, twigs and many other nonsense.what i did was i clean it by BANGING it on the floor..... careful to BANG it in 1 flat level as the PLASTICS around the filter is delicate. i dont know how much the filter cost....but after doing this my aircond is back to normal.GOOD LUCK!!!!
