Cabin filter on Ford Fiesta: where is it located and how to replace it

The cabin filter on the Ford Fiesta is installed to clean the air flow from harmful impurities, metal oxides, dust, and dirt. Untimely replacement of cleaning elements contributes to the formation and development of pathogenic bacteria. The driver and passengers begin to cough, body temperature rises, allergies.

Ford Fiesta cars are equipped with one of two types of filters: dust, carbon. Until 2012, dust was used due to the low distribution of coal.

Where is the cabin filter located: Engineers install cleaners under the dashboard, in the center. In the first three generations of the Fiesta, the filter is located in the center of the dashboard with a mounting window on the right side. From the fourth generation onwards, the mounting window is located on the left side. Carrying out preventive maintenance is “not easy”, since it is necessary to temporarily dismantle a number of parts and assemblies. This takes additional time, effort, and money.

Ford Fiesta modifications:

  • III (GFJ);
  • IV (JA, JB)
  • V (JH, JD)
  • V Van;
  • VI;
  • VI Van;
  • (F3L, F5L);
  • (J5, J3);
  • (JV).

Chemicals for filter care

The air filter is responsible for the quality and quantity of air entering the engine and vehicle interior. Is it possible to wash its cartridge with ordinary detergents? This question sometimes arises among car enthusiasts. Here are recommendations on the range of chemicals used for cleaning air purifier elements:

  1. Regular laundry and dishwashing powders and gels are all suitable for removing dust and debris from porous surfaces. They will not cause any harm to the construction material.
  2. Domestos has an unpleasant odor; its purpose is to clean tiles, bathtubs and toilets. If you use it to wash the cabin filter, you will have to ventilate the treated cartridge for a long time.
  3. Ipone Air Filter Clean is a special liquid that degreases and cleans filter elements in vehicle engines and car interiors. A 5 liter canister is enough for 30 treatments.
  4. MOTUL A3 Air Filter Oil, IPONE SPRAY AIR FILTER OIL, Liqui Moly Motorrad Luftfilter Oil are all oils for impregnating the filter parts of the cartridge after washing it.

Which cabin filter to choose

Many motorists always want to buy everything “original” for their car, so what do they think? that then their car will work better. However, such components are often incredibly expensive. For this reason, many motorists will look for analogues, but in this case they will need to take into account many features of their car in order for the filter to fit exactly.

We have selected basic recommendations for you to help you make the right choice:

We advise you to give preference to well-established manufacturers, for example, Knecht, Bosch or MANN. You should not buy Chinese components - they are often cheaper, but the quality of such filters is much worse. If you don’t have a budget for original spare parts, buy cabin filters in the mid-price category. If you buy cheap ones, they will work after a maximum of 5 thousand kilometers, and in the future they may become completely clogged. Ask the seller to give you the filter, carefully inspect it, especially the finish of the surface parts. Cunning manufacturers do not really bother with quality, and therefore, in the upper part of the filter, you can easily pierce the fastener with your finger, since it is not made correctly. Carbon versions of filters cope much better with the task of air purification. But they cost an order of magnitude more, so the choice is up to you

If your budget allows, it is better to buy them. When purchasing, make sure that the filter is specifically for your make and model of car. Otherwise, the filter simply will not fit into the groove, and money will be thrown away.

There are not so many types of air filter mounts, and in order to know for sure which one is used on your car, you can use the table below.

Pay attention to the quality of the filter, and then you definitely won’t go wrong. We would not advise you to buy the original; it is better to buy filters from a German manufacturer, they have proven themselves well over many years

That is why you should not pay a lot of money for expensive original ones, when you can easily purchase a high-quality filter at the best price. The filters are not that expensive - you can buy them for around 500 rubles. But just remember, you need to buy it specifically for your car brand, otherwise you will buy it and it won’t fit in the compartment.

Selecting consumables

Anyone can cope with replacing the cabin filter on a Ford Fiesta. But this is impossible to do without a new consumable.

Ford offers its consumers to purchase an original cabin filter. Moreover, until 2012, the factory supplied the usual anti-dust consumables. And after 2012, all Fiestas began to be equipped with carbon filters.

But original spare parts always have the same problem. This is a high cost. There are a number of excellent analogues that are sometimes several times cheaper. At the same time, they are not inferior in terms of quality, reliability and durability.

If you want to save money, you should take a look at the following good replacements for the original filter, suitable for the Ford Fiesta:

There are a number of other manufacturers that are worth paying attention to. All of them offer cabin filters costing no more than 500 rubles, optimally suitable for Ford Fiesta cars

Well-established brands include:

  • Purflux;
  • Sidat;
  • Hengst Filters;
  • Technocar;
  • Topran;
  • Automega etc.

The brands may not be as popular as Bosch or Mann, but in terms of the quality of filters for Fiesta there are no complaints. Plus, they are noticeably cheaper than products from more famous manufacturers.

New cabin filters for this car

When choosing a new consumable, be sure to take into account the fact of what year of manufacture, what generation and modification of your Ford Fiesta. Thesaloniki for them may differ from each other depending on certain characteristics.

Timing for replacing the cabin filter and how to choose it

The service book of the Ford Fiesta indicates the service life of the cabin filter. However, the need for replacement is influenced not only by the mileage traveled, but also by the conditions in which the vehicle is operated. Environmental pollution depends on the country in which the machine is used. For example, due to a sharp change in the environment in Russian latitudes, a part needs to be changed more often.

The area in which the vehicle is operated also plays an important role. For example, in urban conditions, taking into account the city's pollution with dust and exhaust gases, consumables will have to be changed more often. If the vehicle is used outside the city, the replacement period increases significantly (about twice).

Signs that you need to replace the cabin filter:

  • There is an unpleasant odor coming from the ventilation/air conditioning/heating system inside the vehicle.
  • In the summer, ventilation operates at maximum speed, but there is still not enough power to supply air to the cabin.
  • The windows fog up, the permissible humidity level is exceeded.

The average interval for replacing the cabin filter on a Ford Fiesta is once every 20 thousand kilometers.

Preparation for replacement and necessary tools

Before you start replacing the cabin filter, you need to prepare for the process.

Required tools:

  • 10mm socket wrench;
  • Set of Torx screwdrivers;
  • New filter;
  • Vacuum cleaner or compressor.

Safety regulations:

  • The procedure must be carried out with gloves to protect your hands from contact of harmful bacteria with the skin;
  • Persons with respiratory problems or allergies should not attempt this procedure on their own.

After preparing the necessary tools and studying the safety rules, you can move on to replacing the cabin air filter on a 2015 Ford Fiesta or other years' models.

The process of replacing the cabin filter

The location of the cabin filter is on the driver's side under the accelerator pedal.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing consumables on a Ford Fiesta:

  1. Remove the decorative trim. It is located on the right side of the pedal and is secured with a screw.
  2. Remove the latches. They hold the wiring and decorative trim.
  3. A view of the cabin filter cover opens. It is attached with self-tapping screws. Unscrew them using a screwdriver.
  4. Open the cover and remove the old filter element.
  5. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressor to blow out the seat of the filter element, after which you can install a new part.

The process of replacing the cabin air filter in your 2008 Ford Fiesta is complete. The process takes about 5-10 minutes.

Symptoms of a worn filter

There are a number of characteristic signs that indicate the need to change the cabin filter on a Ford Fiesta:

  • regular fogging of windows, including on the dashboard indicators;
  • the appearance of odor from the air that enters the cabin through the air intakes;
  • accelerated clogging of windows and upholstery;
  • when the fan is turned on, small debris and dust fly out;
  • decreased performance of the car ventilation system.

In worst cases, a clogged and wet filter can lead to the development of mildew or mildew, so if you notice odors in the cabin, check this element immediately.

Replacing the filter on Fiesta before 2008

Fiesta cars manufactured by Ford, which were produced between 2002 and 2007, have a frankly inconvenient location of the cabin filter.

It is unknown for what exact reasons, but this consumable ended up in the area of ​​the pedal assembly on the driver’s side. This explains the complaints of many car owners who prefer to maintain their vehicle themselves. You can get to the salon in a Fiesta of these years. Although the task is not the easiest. Especially when compared to the post-2008 Fiesta.

If you are not entirely lucky with the year of manufacture of your Ford Fiesta, and the cabin filter ends up in the pedal assembly area, the procedure for replacing the cabin filter will look like this:

  • It is first recommended to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
  • Open the driver's door and move the seat all the way back.
  • Taking with you a set of tools, which must include a Torx key, climb into the pedal area. It would be a good idea to take a flashlight or portable lamp with you.
  • Unscrew one screw on the driver's right leg side on the decorative plastic trim.
  • Now gently pull the plastic towards the door so that the trim disengages from the latches.
  • The panel can be moved to the side for now. Just don't lose the screw.
  • Next you will have to remove the accelerator pedal. To remove the gas pedal, you need to unscrew the 3 bolts at its end. Be careful not to damage any components or wiring. Otherwise, you will then have to take the car to a car service center and restore the settings of the electronic pedal.
  • Behind the decorative trim, which you previously removed, there are 4 more Torx bolts. They hold the cabin filter cover, located on the side of the center console, closer to the engine compartment.
  • Pull out the old filter.
  • Using a compressor or vacuum cleaner, be sure to blow out the interior compartment. Otherwise, all the accumulated debris will immediately settle on the new filter, and its resource will be reduced by at least 1.5 times.
  • Replace the cabin filter cover, connect the pedal, and install the plastic cover.

The whole problem is that replacing the cabin filter of a pre-2008 Ford Fiesta requires removing the gas pedal. Without this, it is almost impossible to remove the old consumable and install a new one.

The task can be done with your own hands, although it is recommended to be extremely careful. Don't rush and don't force things. The more delicately you approach the issue, the higher the likelihood of not making mistakes.

Purpose of the cabin filter

Thanks to the presence of a cabin filter, driving becomes quite comfortable. In addition, foreign odors do not penetrate into the cabin. The filter does not allow up to 99% of contaminants in the environment to pass through.

Today, four types of cabin filters are available in Ford Fiesta:

The cabin filter in a Ford Fiesta needs to be replaced after 10-15 thousand kilometers traveled. Its cleaning ability directly depends on the conditions in which the car was operated. In any case, the filter must be periodically checked for contamination levels. Signs such as: fogging of windows, penetration of odors, rapid covering of windows and interior with dust, decrease in the power of the performance system, signal that the cabin filter needs to be replaced.

Both original filters and analogues can be installed in Ford Fiesta. The manufacturing plant equips the Fiesta with a cabin filter with article number 1353269, the cost of which varies from 1,500 to 2,000 rubles depending on the region of purchase. It is quite possible to choose a cheaper, analog cabin filter, the price of which is significantly lower than the original.

Before you buy a cabin filter, you need to compare the old element with the new one. The new one should not be dirty or dusty.

It is also worth noting that the cabin filter in the Ford Fiesta is located almost near the driver’s feet under the dashboard.

Types of filters

Before studying the features of replacement, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the classification of cabin filters. The industry produces several types of products, differing in price and level of protection. Drivers have a choice between the following types:

  • Classic barrier. The simplest and cheapest filter, which is made of paper, synthetic or natural fabric. Detains large and small particles of dust and various insects. It is a necessary minimum in any car.
  • Carbonic. The structure is similar to the previous one, but has a special layer of activated carbon, which is distinguished by its absorbent properties. Thanks to this, it is able to retain all kinds of allergens and absorb unpleasant odors. At the same time, do not forget that the absorbent properties of carbon end, after which it becomes equivalent in efficiency to a paper filter.
  • Electret. Additionally, it has a layer of electrified fiber. Capable of attracting particles as small as 5 micrometers, and also retaining plant spores, soot particles and tire dust.
  • Combined. The most expensive and technologically advanced filter models, which include carbon and electrified layers.

Which Ford Fiesta cabin filter to choose depends only on your budget and the availability of compatible models. If you want more than the standard level of protection, you will have to carefully scour the market.

Difficulties of replacement - what tricks should you be prepared for?

The main fuel filter system in the Ford Focus 2 is designed in such a way that replacing it is quite problematic. This car model does not provide for replacing the filter through the hatch under the rear seat, as in other car models of domestic and foreign production. Therefore, many drivers prefer to replace the filter at a specialized car service center.

However, despite the difficulties, you can replace this part with your own hands if necessary. To replace or repair the fuel pump and filter, the entire tank must be removed. Before replacing the fuel filter, you must first relieve the pressure in the fuel pipe system. To do this, you need to remove the fuse responsible for the operation of the pump from the car’s mounting block.

In Ford Focus 2, this is usually the 10th or 12th number, it all depends on the configuration of the car. After removing the fuse, start the car and wait until it stalls on its own. By this action we turn off the pump, and the fuel that is in the tubes is completely consumed. There will be no inconvenience when dismantling the tank. It is best to replace the fuel filter when there is a small amount of gasoline in the tank.

To remove the tank and further replace the filter, you must go to the inspection hole or perform this work on a lift. Before performing work, prepare a standard set of tools, as well as a new filter. It is worth noting that the filter for the second Ford Focus is not always available in the auto store. Therefore, you can replace it with a filter from a Toyota car - they are almost the same in size.

First of all, we need to unscrew the fastenings of the exhaust pipe and move it to the side so that it does not interfere with us in the future. After this, unscrew the fuel pipes, as well as the fuel supply hose from the tank cap. Carefully disconnect the power supply, the wires from which go to the tank to operate the pump. After this, unscrew the fasteners and remove the tank. It consists of two parts, so unscrew the bolts along its contour, then remove the upper part.

Now you can start replacing the filter, which is located in a plastic flask along with the pump. Be especially careful with the wires that go to the pump, as well as with the float sensor, which indicates the correct fuel level in the tank. After replacing the filter, install everything in reverse order. First, the tank body at the junction must be treated with a sealant and, if necessary, its gasket must be replaced to prevent gasoline leakage in the future.

Putting the tank back is much more difficult. To install it, prepare a jack or telescopic stand, depending on whether you are working on a viewing hole or on a lift. Without the help of these tools, it will be very difficult to position the tank correctly. After the tank is exposed, if possible, fill the tank to half its level and see if there are any gasoline stains on the joints. If any are found, tighten the connecting bolts.

The fuel filter performs an important function in any car, as it keeps the fuel and injector system clean for a long time. In addition, fuel purification significantly reduces the risk of damage to internal engine components due to poor-quality air-fuel mixture.

The Ford Focus 2 fuel filter has a standard device, but is inconvenient for maintenance and replacement. This is especially true for the coarse filter located on the fuel pump in the gas tank. Its task is to clean gasoline from large particles. The second filter in the engine compartment serves to finely purify the fuel before entering the injectors and directly into the combustion chambers of the cylinders. The use of contaminated filter elements is detrimental to the operation of the engine and the fuel system as a whole.

Replacing the Ford Fiesta cabin filter

The operation of many components in a car depends on various consumables. Almost every driver has heard and knows when it is necessary to change the fuel, oil or air filter. If these components become too clogged, operating the car will become difficult or impossible due to breakdown. At the same time, there is another filter in the car, which drivers often forget about - the cabin filter. Don't underestimate the importance of this detail. Replacing the cabin filter in a Ford Fiesta is a very quick and simple procedure that will help maintain your health. You will find detailed information on this issue in this material.

Ford Fusion Design Flaws

The most common reason for warranty contact with the authorities for owners of gasoline modifications was the failure of the ignition coil. In Europe, too, not everything started smoothly, because many diesel cars were recalled due to problems with the fuel system and injection pump. Cars produced in 2003-2004 had frequent problems with the ECU failing for no reason, which, however, was immediately replaced under warranty.

The transmission was always up to standard if you followed the maintenance schedule, but on some cars that had to carry heavy loads, the clutch burned out prematurely, and under high loads the head gasket could burn out. Inductive ABS sensors do not like dust very much and need to be cleaned frequently. The interior trim in inexpensive modifications was worn out quite quickly. Otherwise, all Ford Fusion diseases are treated as they arise. We will look at the main reasons for interfering with the densely packed body of the Urban Fctivity Vehicle Ford Fusion.

How often is replacement done?

According to the manufacturer's requirements, the cabin filter must be changed every 25-30 thousand kilometers, but in most cases this is an optimistic reading. In practice, the filter may become unusable after 10-15 thousand mileage. A number of parameters influence its service life:

  • Place of residence - rural area, small town or metropolis with industrial facilities. Naturally, in large cities the content of harmful substances is much higher, which means that the load on the filter is higher.
  • Number of delays in traffic jams. If you spend more than 1 hour in a traffic jam every day, do not be lazy to change the cabin filter. All the smoke from the exhaust of the cars in front goes straight into your cabin.
  • Riding activity. The filter does not wear out if the car is just sitting in the garage.

The best option is to conduct a visual inspection of the part every 10 thousand kilometers. If the filter is all gray or brown, and dust and debris fly out of it when you try to shake it, it's time to replace it.

Original or analogue

When purchasing a cabin filter, drivers will be faced with a choice: buy original products from the car manufacturer or look for products from other brands. Products from Ford will be guaranteed to be compatible and have the stated characteristics, but they are quite expensive - from 1,500 to 2,000 rubles. The company offers a choice of:

  • classic Ford paper filter – catalog number 1585216;
  • Ford carbon filter - catalog number 1353269.

Not all drivers are ready to shell out that kind of money every 10-15 thousand kilometers, not to mention the costs of other replacement components. The market offers cheaper analogues, the cost of which varies from 300 to 1000 rubles. Among the classic filters, the following products can be distinguished:

Why is the fuel filter of a VAZ 2110 car replaced?

If the car does not start or starts to stall while driving, you need to pay attention to the fuel filter, most likely it is clogged. The element is located behind the gas tank.

Replacing the air filter Ford Focus 2 restyling

Replacing the air filter Ford Focus 2 (Restyle)

It’s easier to work here than when replacing the Focus 2 dorestyle air filter. As already mentioned, replacing the air filter yourself is not difficult for any car owner. You need to prepare the necessary tools and the filter itself in advance. If we change the air filter, the following tools will be required:

  • Small ratchet.
  • Socket head 7.
  • New air filter
  • New crankcase filter

So how do you replace the air filter? First, use a 7mm head to unscrew all 4 mounting bolts. Make sure that the bolts remain in their fastening places, otherwise it will be difficult to put them in place when reinstalling.

Then, unscrew the two mounting bolts of the air duct and disconnect the pipe so that it does not interfere with the removal of the old filter and installation of the new one.

We will also replace the crankcase ventilation filter in one go.

Now, install the new filter, make sure that it sits exactly in place in the neck.

After dismantling the filter, assess its condition. If you have followed the recommended interval, and it looks quite dirty on the outside, then you should change the replacement interval. And then the question of how long to change the air filter at the focus will disappear.

Now all that remains is to screw on the pipe and the air filter cover.

An important note is that the driver should not be tempted to blow out the old filter using a compressor and continue to use it. Such purging is practically used in cases of temporary operation of a car in difficult conditions, but if the filter has not yet exhausted its service life.

Before reinstallation, it is necessary to lubricate the seat, the inner ring of the cylinder, using WD-40 lubricant to avoid the application of excessive physical force and not damage the filter. You should put the filter on, turning it slightly, and make sure that the housing fits neatly into the required grooves. You should tighten the mounting bolts only after you are sure that the cover is firmly in place.

A little trick for an experienced driver is to mark the installation site with a special label where you can record the date and mileage at which the replacement occurred. It's no secret that if you don't do this, in a year you will only have vague memories of the replacement date.

Replacing the Ford Fiesta cabin filter: description, part selection

Many car enthusiasts know that the Ford Fiesta cabin filter needs to be changed twice a year or after 20,000 km. This element is not very conveniently located, since it is necessary to disassemble part of the interior on the driver's side.

Replacement process

The Ford Fiesta cabin filter element is located to the left of the center console, next to the accelerator pedal. When replacing a unit, the location plays a big role, and therefore it is quite inconvenient.

However, many car enthusiasts do not want to pay additional money to replace such a simple element and carry out the procedure themselves.

Professionals know that when the air from the air ducts of the heater or air conditioner begins to flow poorly, this is the first sign that the cabin filter is clogged. Insufficient air in the vehicle interior also negatively affects human health and can cause a number of diseases.

So, to replace the cabin filter you will need some tools, namely: a 10mm wrench, Torx sprockets and a new filter element selected according to the catalog. Now that everything is assembled, you can proceed directly to the process of changing the part:

  1. Unscrew the screw holding the decorative trim near the accelerator pedal.
  2. We remove the cover.
  3. After unscrewing several bolts of the accelerator pedal, remove it. The gas pedal is removed because it will interfere with removing the filter.
  4. We find the grille that holds the filter, and, unscrewing the fasteners, remove it.
  5. The filter is visible under the cover.
  6. We take it out by pulling it towards ourselves.

We insert a new filter element and carry out the assembly.

Filter selection

Many car enthusiasts argue which cabin filter is better - dust or carbon? Most experts and car enthusiasts agree that a carbon filter element filters the air that enters the car interior much better. But such a filter element costs an order of magnitude more, so the motorist himself decides which option is more suitable for him.

1585216 is the original catalog number of the dust cabin filter manufactured by Ford. The average cost of such a product is 1,500 rubles.

1353269 is the original catalog number of the carbon filter element for the cabin, manufactured by Ford. The average market price is 2000 rubles.

Possible analogues

In addition to original dust and carbon filters, the automotive market provides a wide range of analogues that can be used instead of the recommended originals. Since the manufacturer itself offers two versions of the originals, it is worth considering the analogues separately.

The reasons for this choice are the following: affordable prices, guaranteed quality, professional installation, post-warranty service, wide range of spare parts.

Replacement procedure and features

The first thing you need to do is prepare the right tool

This is very important, otherwise the replacement process will not go unnoticed for your nervous system.

Prepare two extension cords, a simple and flexible shaft for the ratchet, a 10-socket wrench and a 7-socket head. If you have an electric screwdriver or a screwdriver, you can also purchase a flexible shaft for them (for ease of work, but you can do without them).

Yes. If you are not tall, then you are very lucky, since getting to the right place is not easy.

The cabin filter on Ford Focus 2 is located to the right of the gas pedal.

To get it you need:

  1. Using a 10mm socket, unscrew the 3 bolts securing the gas pedal and, without removing the terminal block, move it to the side. In this case, it is better to use a flexible shaft.
  2. Using a 7-head, using a flexible shaft, unscrew the 3 self-tapping screws that secure the cabin filter cover and remove it. You can use a spanner or open-end wrench, but it will be more difficult.
  3. We take out the old filter; in this case, the brake pedal may become an obstacle in its path. To pull it out, place your hands crosswise, grab the left edge of the product with your right hand and bend it towards the interior. With your left hand, push the filter towards the pedals, thereby removing it. If the element casing is soft, then there will be no problems.
  4. Installation of the new element occurs in the reverse order, but the fact is that the brake pedal has not gone away. A product with a hard frame, for example, like the Filtron K 1150 A, will complicate the task, while a soft one will simplify it. Let's consider the first, worst option. Grasp the filter by the TOP and BOTTOM edges and twist it into a bow tie. The arrows should point in your direction. Carefully insert the element into the hole, gradually straightening it.
  5. Reinstall the cover by screwing in 3 self-tapping screws. Without a flexible shaft with a 7 head, this will be problematic. The top bolt is especially difficult to tighten.
  6. Reinstall the gas pedal.

If you don’t want to remove the gas pedal, then pay attention to cabin filters in a soft case, for example, the Visteon model. After deformation, they take their original shape well and this simplifies their installation.

Or from other manufacturers, but read the reviews first.

When is it necessary to replace the filter in FORD Ecosport?

Manufacturers of Ford Ecosport advise carrying out a service to replace interior air cleaning every 15 - 20 thousand kilometers of the car. By changing the filter every year, the car owner ensures comfortable conditions inside the car. If this function is not carried out in time, the interior will begin to get dirty more quickly, a nasty smell of dust and gasoline will appear, and in humid weather the windows will begin to fog up more quickly. All these signs will make driving a car uncomfortable.

Repeated replacement of the cabin filter on a Ford Ecosport can be carried out even before the number of kilometers traveled. This may occur when there are signs of rapid contamination of the cleaning element.

Signs that require replacement of the cabin filter on a Ford Ecosport earlier than the manufacturer's regulations:

  • In damp weather, the windows fog up;
  • Bad smell in the cabin that does not disappear;
  • Repeated shutdowns of the air conditioning system.

Driving a Ford Ecosport with a clogged filter should have a bad effect on the operation of the air conditioner. If the cabin filter is not changed in time, not only dust, but also pollen from flowering plants will begin to enter the car, which can cause an allergic reaction in the driver or passengers. The strain on the air conditioner will cause it to wear out quickly, and ultimately the air conditioning system may need to be repaired.

change the cabin filter when you need to change the engine oil and oil filter. After replacing the cabin filter, the stove will start working at full capacity, and all foreign odors will automatically disappear.

Need for replacement

Signs of the need for replacement are visible to the driver with the naked eye. First of all this:

  • Increased vehicle fuel consumption.
  • Increased CO 2 level in the engine system.
  • Visible contamination of the filter upon direct inspection.
  • Reduced vehicle power.

How often should you change your air filter? Experienced specialists recommend carefully approaching not only the selection of the required filter element, but also the frequency of its replacement. First of all, it is worth remembering that every 10 - 15 thousand kilometers lead to contamination of the air filter system. This negatively affects, first of all, the overall performance of the car in city driving conditions. If the car is operated in extreme and difficult driving conditions, the air filter must be changed twice as often.

Replacement frequency

To keep the interior clean, as well as to ensure the flow of clean air through the air ducts and deflectors, it is important to promptly change the appropriate consumables. On older versions, the regulations for the Ford Fiesta indicated an interval of 30 thousand kilometers

This is exactly how long, according to automakers, a car could drive on one cabin filter without replacement. But in practice the numbers did not correspond to reality. Even in gentle conditions, the first signs of clogging could appear after 15-20 thousand kilometers

On older versions, the regulations for the Ford Fiesta specified an interval of 30 thousand kilometers. This is exactly how long, according to automakers, a car could drive on one cabin filter without replacement. But in practice the numbers did not correspond to reality. Even in gentle conditions, the first signs of clogging could appear after 15-20 thousand kilometers.

Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the actual interval by 1.5-2 times. Then the filter will not wear out completely and become clogged with debris, and therefore you will not notice symptoms such as fogging of the windows, an unpleasant smell in the cabin or weak airflow.

Used consumables

To make the filter last longer, you can periodically remove the filter, shake it out or vacuum it, and then return it to its place. This is usually done every 5-10 thousand kilometers. This slightly extends the life of the element.

On new generations, the recommended interval has been reduced to 20 thousand kilometers. But this turned out to be not enough. In fact, under Russian operating conditions on a Ford Fiesta, the filter may finally lose its effectiveness after 10-15 thousand kilometers. Some even change the interior trim after 7-8 thousand kilometers if the car is operated in really difficult conditions.
