Air Con Filter

[chook]

Noticed today on the Nissan FAST system that i have 2 Air con air filters located behind the glove box. Pulled them out, pretty filthy. Will order some new ones today, part # B7274-0v525. Not sure if all models have it, mine is a 2001 RS4...worth considering, cheers.

approx $85 each, wash/blow them out instead

Wholy crap!!!! Lucky they are washable then eh

my fresh air/ recirculate motor shagged itself a while back, so when i removed it i saw these filters, gave them a blow out, probably needs it done every 12 months.

Are they in S1 and S2?

[Terminal]

they're in my S1 i'm pretty sure, unless i was cleaning something else

Just a thing about air cons and filters. My Stagea has no odours of previous smokers, which has been an unexpected plus.

I recently sold a car, and when I said it was a "non smoker" that clinched the deal.

I'm not knocking smoking as such, I was a two pack a day. But it is nice to be in a non smoker. My R3o still smells, and I havn't smoked in it since 1992.

I can tell you the day, hour, minute and second, but I wont, cause I'm too busy counting the money i've saved. Enough to buy a Stagea.

QUIT,you bastards, QUIT.

do you have to actually take the glovebox out? is it directly behind the glove box?

[chook]

yes, have to remove the glovebox door, 1 plastic panel and 1 metal panel, then the retaining clip for the the filters, they are mounted vertically

[beastien]

It must of been an option, my S1 doesn't have them. I made a thread about this way back

[Ska]

Is that the big white cylindrical object up behind the glovebox?

I would like to see pics of them.

I pulled my S2 apart a while back and couldnt find any filters - just the vent where the recirc air is sucked in. (right up behind the airbag)

It was uncovered so I made up a filter an installed it to cover the vent.

the are grey, slotted in vertically on top of eachother, directly behind the glovebox. remove metal clip, slide right out. FAST system says it is applicable to W model, whatever that means. filters highlighted in green. Mine has a sticker inside the glovebox in japanese, i assume this is telling me how ofter to replace the filters. My Factory AIR/NAV/TV system has a 'filter' symbol on the screen, shown during diagnostic mode, i assume this will appear when the air flow is slowed by the dirty filters. Sorry forgot to take photos.

[chook]

soaked mine in hot water/detergent, came up as new. part # and approx price in first post.

[stasis]

are they really washables? normally on any filter if the dirt have already penetrate through to the clean side of the filter you cant use it anymore

[chook]

seems to be a fabric, not paper, soaked it, then sprayed it gently with a hose, worked fine, sure worth the try for $170.

[stasis]

ohh shit you men is $85 each?

[3intheBack]

Unless they are fraid with holes in them, then just wash them.

[stasis]

allright then will take it off again tommorow and will soak them in washing detergent and nappisan over night and see how i go. in a meanwhile will try to look for an AFM ones if they are evailable.
