Types of air filters

Today, the air filter for the Opel Astra H is produced in two varieties:

• ordinary;
• carbonic.

A conventional filter is characterized by the ability to remove soot, rubber, pollen and heavy volatile compounds. A carbon filter can capture even the smallest particles. These include oxides of nitrogen, sulfur and other harmful groups. If a harmful element combines with coal, absorption or neutralization of the hazardous substance occurs.

When comparing, it becomes clear that you need to purchase a carbon air filter. However, its high purchase price may become some kind of obstacle. If the following symptoms appear, urgent replacement of the air filter is indicated.

• There is almost no air coming from the stove; it can make a lot of noise.
• The windows fog up quickly.
• Foreign odors appeared in the cabin.
• Dust and debris enter the car interior.

In order to be sure that the air filter is not in order, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics. Today there are original filters for the Opel Astra N, as well as their analogues.

We recommend: DIY starter repair on a VAZ car

The difference in cost even among analogues is significant. The quality of the paper used to produce the filter has a direct impact on the air purification process. If little filter paper is used or it is of poor quality, then you should not expect a good result. Synthetic fiber can attract small particles because it is electrostatic.

The car leaves the factory that manufactures Opel Astra h cars with a General Motors brand cleaning filter installed on it with article number 5834 282. The cost of the original air filter starts from 600 rubles.

But there is a small peculiarity: if you remove the filter installed at the factory by the manufacturer, you can see that in addition to the GM inscription, there is a mark related to the direct manufacturer - Filtron.

A part that is manufactured by Filtron can be found much cheaper. For example, an air filter, article number: 08 35 622 can be purchased on the Internet for a price of 260 rubles.

Experts recommend choosing a filter from a well-known and well-established manufacturer for replacement. Based on actual customer ratings and expert opinions from specialists, we can identify several of the best manufacturers of this product.

MANN	C1858/2	550
AMC Filter	8603	400

Opel Astra H (ash) / Opel Astra H: workshop replacement of cabin filter (air)

It appeared relatively recently, but is already found on many foreign cars. This is also present in the Opel Astra. Like any other filter, the cabin filter also has its own resource and periodically requires replacement.

Why is it so important to change this element and what are the symptoms of the need to replace it? Let's consider.

What is a cabin filter for?

The main task of this element is to clean the air entering the car interior. Typically, such a filter is present in cars equipped with climate control or air conditioning.

However, it is installed not only to filter the air that goes into the cabin. Another task of the element is to prevent dirt from entering the air conditioner evaporator.

If the evaporator fins are clogged, the climate control cannot be guaranteed to function properly.

In the Opel Astra N, this element is located in the cabin, in the glove compartment area. It is behind this that the filter element is hidden. On other cars it may be located in the engine compartment or under the “jabot” of the windshield wipers.

When does an Opel Astra H need to replace the cabin filter?

Is it possible to clean the old one? Like any other filter, the cabin filter is a consumable item and cannot be restored. If you try to clean it, you shouldn't expect excellent results. Perhaps the top layer of dust can be removed. But it still won’t allow air to pass through itself. In addition, the cabin filter is not that expensive. Replacing it does not require much time. If desired, this operation can be performed at a service center, where in addition they will provide a guarantee for the work performed. It is very comfortable.

Replacing the cabin filter Opel Astra N: prerequisites

• fogging of car windows when turning on the heater or air conditioner in damp weather;
• unpleasant smell of mold coming from the deflectors.

These symptoms can appear individually or together. In the first case, the filter is tightly clogged with dust. Because of this, fresh air cannot get into the cabin, and a greenhouse effect occurs inside the car. This problem can be temporarily solved by driving with the windows partially open. But it is still better to replace the cabin filter.

As for the second case, it is unlikely that you can eliminate the rotten smell by opening the windows. It is so strong that it soaks into the upholstery and seats. This indicates that moisture has formed in the filter, causing some of the bacteria to enter the machine. New purifiers do not have this problem. A pungent odor is formed only with fairly dirty filters.

Selecting a part when replacing the Opel Astra N air filter

Where can I go for a replacement? This procedure can be performed at a service station. No need to wait in line or sign up. The procedure is not so long. Experts can replace the cabin filter on an Opel Astra N in 5-10 minutes. This is one of the simplest and cheapest jobs.
