When was your cabin filter last changed?
Maybe it could look like this? Hope not
The main function of the Cabin filter is to clean the incoming air that is circulated around the cabin of your car.
Nasties like pollen, dust and diesel particulates are all removed by this filter as well leaves and other large items.
Not changing the cabin filter can not only let these nasties in, but it can also cause major damage to car’s climate system.
It can result in your A/C to not performing well, but also, the lack of airflow can cause the A/C to freeze and not longer dry the air leading to mould growing in your car, as well as no longer being able to defog your windscreen, that sounds dangerous.
Another major issue is that the fan speed control relies on the air moving through the ventilation system to keep it cool, if this air is restricted this resistor can burn out and stop your fan from working.
Both of these scenarios can end up with a “dash out” repair costing thousands of dollars.
At Trodon Services, your Cabin filter, where fitted, is always included with your service.
