Added on December 28, 2011, 1:50 pmok...fellows, honestly i not very "song" now after know that the replacement cabin air filter is so expensive and not really actual part for insight. so i write this DIY for u all. it really that simple until gal also can do it.

What tools u need: nothing...just you hands and confirm it wont dirty ur hand at all.

Steps:

1. open ur glove box and remove all things inside
2. check on the top part on the glove box, press in both side and glove box will go down.


3. there is one hook on left bottom that act like a slower when u open ur glove box. just push toward the firewall n the hook will come out


4. after the hook come out, it look like this and ur glove box can open until all ur things drop out (if u no remove them at step 1)


5. now u see the air con blower behind the glove box


6. take out the cover and u will see the filter (my one already remove to snap photo and comparison). pull out ur filter and slot in a new one. make sure the air flow sign is facing down (the sign is on the filter itself).


7. put back the filter cover.
8. install back ur glove box to it ori place.
9. lastly only put back the hook.

Here are the comparison on the ori and the newly replace filter

The ori one have those small black things.

For those who already change the filter during last service, if u dont mind pls check if this also happen to you. If they return u the old filter inside the new filter packing, pls have a look on the part number. If their standard is using 80292-TG0-Q01 to replace our cabin air filter, then i will recommend others go outside and buy this filter urself and DIY. no point paying RM90 (after discount) for such an easy job

It did happen to my car as well but not as bad as yours. I did sent to Kah Motor in Penang but they claimed that it is not oil leaking and just ignore.

this is the one right?





smudge it, and it's oil..
we have 3 years warranty right for the car? that means even after clocked mileage 10k, we still can claim it.. right..?




thanks for the tutorial, easy, opened.. and here's the picture...



smell it, and that's exactly the same smell when I entered the car..
today, my friend tumpang my car, and complained a weird smell which I used to it..
will change it during 10k service...

btw, got some I idea, instead of putting fragrance in front of air cond.. why not put it between the air filter part? or spray the air filter with fragrance?

and what about this "thing"? it is normal to get rusted? so fast?

wait other confirm on the changed filter. if the part number is 80292-TG0-Q01 then try get it from local spare part shop...i believe will be a lot more cheaper compare to the one from Kah motor...

Th rust part is normal....checked minewith Sumber Auto and they aid that the rust is caused by the material itself. Made of cast iron or something like that.so naturally, it'll rust...disappointed though as it looks damn ugly in my engine bay...

Kalo tukar sendiri..warantty void x?

maybe tak kot.. tak logic kalau void warranty sebab benda tu...

+-60km.. im waiting for it to be more serious then i'll go sc

Kalo camtu memang nak tukar..pening bau air filter tu..ingatkan bau kereta baru..haih..

as i know the IMA will recharge itself when empty, saw it happen during my many uphill drives.

as for the aircon filter, the original come with the car filter, does it come with charcoal? if it so dirty at 10k km, it means the road you drive on, is dem dirty.

Check the air filter already..already 1/4 is covered by black spot..but the smell cannot tahan..have to change with a new one..

it is really good, and it is permanent solution, i am using it now. very happy with it. can use for 5 yrs.

The smell actually happen since get the car. Just that thought is the new car smell...

After reading the post about air filter, I took out mine just now and inspected it under bright light and magnifying glass. I think it looks black not only because it is a bit dusty, it is also because the filter got a layer of carbon material sandwiched in between the paper surface (I supposed for bad smell absorption). I wonder why the replacement filter we are getting from the service center is pure white instead of the same type that comes with the brand new car.

The following is what I had done with my filter, as I am no where near to visiting the service center for a replacement, and I was thinking, what the heck, just try it, if it works, I save the money by not replacing the filter (cause apart from the bad smell, the filter still looks relatively new), if it doesn't, I will just throw it away and but a new one from parts shop tomorrow morning.

I knocked my filter lightly on floor, can see dust fly out and some very fine sand particle get dislodged. Blowed it lightly with air blower and brushed with paint brush, knocked lightly again, repeat the procedure a few times until I am quite confirmed all the dust and sand I can get rid off were already out. At first I am thinking of flushing it using light flow of water, but worried it may damage the glue holding the filter together or even distort the paper/carbon layer, so I gave up that idea (this filter was not designed to be washable anyway).

After physical cleaning, I put it near my nose and smell it, confirmed, that's the mouldy smell I am getting from my aircond everyday (especially when compressor is off for long and air gets a bit warm during auto-stop). So for the smell part, first of all, I sprayed the filter lightly with Febreze, leave it to absorb and dry a while, then i blow the filter using mild warm (hand touchable) heat with a hair dryer (becareful not to put the hairdryer too close or use too high temperature as hot hair will damage the paper surface and melts the glue). You can repeat this setps if you are still not satisfied, but I would say the bad smell on my filter was about 90% gone after the first round (not sure that's the effect of the Febreze or because of the mild heat from the hair dryer, don't care, as long as it works).

Anyway, credit and great thanks to members of this forum that brings up the topic, sharing the steps (summore with pictorial guide, this is better than Honda's website FAQ) for the benefit of all other members.
