Cabin Air Filter Install

[bigcat]

I dont remember if I posted a how to of the CAF when I did it about 2 years ago. I am ready to do it again. Anyone interested in me documenting the process?

It is just 2 screw type retaining clips, then pull up on cowl cover, then reach in and grab the filter housing, replace filter and reverse.

I remember and checked it then and was ok but I am sure I need to buy one now. thanks for reminding me.

Just don't forget to put your windshield wipers in the 12 o'clock position before doing it...it will prevent you from damaging the cowling as you lift it up.

I said yes. That way you get to add another link to your sig.

 

[wusthof]

pls document it! I'll do it soon...................such an overlooked maint. thing to do.

I though it was fairly easy to do, but I did look up a write-up online to help me out. I don't see how it could hurt to do it.

Sure you can never have too much documentation.

I said no simply because there are others out there (first link on a google search), and that it's a 30 second install that I could teach my 4 year old nephew to do.

You're write ups are some of the best, bigcat, so if you feel like sapping a few photos, I guess why not.

there are others for about everything. i am definitely not the first to do most mods or write ups.

Filter

Are any brand of cabin air filters especially good?

I think only Motorcraft makes them.

nope, bosch and air qualitee or qualitee air (dont remember which) also sell them aftermarket.

i just finished up the install. man i hate living in the windiest state in the country. nothing but dirt in my engine bay. my CAI filter is nasty.

cabin air filter though was not as bad as i thought, but still needed a replacement. i will work on the write up over the next few days as i get time and will post it up for everyone to review and smack talk about the dirt in my engine bay.

Wix also makes one, but it may just be re-badged.

we have decided to use DiMoras write up for our starting point, slightly altering the text. no need to reinvent the wheel when he already posted a great write up.
