Changing Air Conditioner Filter?

[13secGST]

Ok I searched a bunch but couldn't find anything. I want to know how I can change the filter cleans the air coming inside the car. I want to keep the inside cleaner with less dust and try to keep the inside of those air ports clean as well...and possibly make the car smell newer or at least cleaner. I really like keeping my car clean and this would just help me more. Does anybody know how to change what I am talking about? or are there directions somewhere? Thanx

No..no I'm not woried about the smell just the cleanseliness (totally misspelled) of the air and not all kinds of dust, my car still smell pretty good.

And AW4G63 I know where I can buy air filter material...like at Home Depot, I just don't know where the main "line" is that brings air into the cabin...unless I did each part individually but that would be dumb.

 

[Raven457]

I *think* the main air inlet is on the cowl, under the wiper blades.

yeh I just looked at it...dropped the glove box looked behind there...didn't really see anything...so that is my guess too, I'll probably check it tommorow or wed. since I'm working tommorrow...I would just like to have clean air...If you look in the ducts they look nasty and all dirty, even if you clean what you can and then a week later they are filthy again. What can I say, I love my car. I did buy a test pipe too on Sat. can't wait till it comes in.

My car is the one in Sept. 2001 issue of Import Tuner, The guy that had it before me got it in there but took his aftermarket #### off and made it stock again and sold it...to me, I guess we gain 27.9 hp with a test pipe or at least mine did...I'm stoked

I'm with ya... My fiancee and I have pretty bad allergy problems, I certainly wouldn't mind having a cabin air filter myself.

 

[13secGST]

well I'm not going to look at it today cause I gotta go to work...and tommorrow I'm probably gonna be catching up on homework unless I get off early tonight...But I'm going to look into it and take pictures on the way...If I find its not hard then I'll post one of those things that people post and then all DSMers can have cabin filters! Yeh! what is that site you use to shrink pictures again cause my digi cam makes the pics huge.

 

[Raven457]

I've always used Paintshop Pro, I don't know any website...

 

[InferiorWang]

woohoo! psp rocks. but everyone seemes to use photoshop. oh well, that's why i have (but not own) both.

most basic picture editors will resize. i haven't seen a website that does it. You may have microsofts picture editor thing if you have ms office on your computer. If not, you can always go to www.hotfiles.com and look around there for a small picture editor. (If you have a broadband connection just kazaa photoshop 7 and it comes with a prog called image ready with was made for shrinking pics for the web)

 

[InferiorWang]

i was just thinking...paint shop pro 3 (an old old version) was pretty small and will resize and much much more. It only works for 30 days (unless u set ur calendar a couple years ahead, install it, and turn ur calendar back) but you can find something else after 30 days if you dont like it/need it or you didn't read in the parentheses

With the engine off and cold, open your heater to high, open your outside vent, turn your blower on high and go outside to the base of the windshield and give it a few shots of Ozium, or maybe Febreeze. It should help a lot. If not, make sure the drain for the AC condensation tray is clear, and that it's not full of awful pond products there.
Next step would be to wash it out with chlorine bleach, but go very sparingly with it.

There is a product out there that will totally get rid of the smell. The name escapes me at the moment though. Its a foam. Check your local parts store.
