Aveo aircon filters - easily accessible?

[Spango]

Hi folks! I am thinking of cleaning my aircon filter on my Aveo. Where is it located, and is it easily accessible? Anyone tried taking it out before? Need to unscrew anything? Lastly, does SA bother to clean it during servicing?

Easy. Just yank out the glove compartment.

[Spango]

Wow... You sure that won't break anything?

Just open and pull out towards you. The hinge is plastic. Maybe you can lube it a bit before putting back.

Thanks Mr super guru! Managed to get the aircon filter out... Surprisingly, the filter looks as good as new, and my ride is 13 months old... Wonder if the filter isn't working at all...

Which one? The top or bottom?

[Spango]

The entire glove compartment...

[Brock]

That means both right? The flip open top and the pull down bottom right? Me blur la.

Found the instruction in Owner's manual.. Filter replacement

Service & Vehicle care 6-31 & 32.

Seem easy for DIY.

[Spango]

Yup... Just yank the whole thing right out...

Ok...will try when me free. Man...every day, I learn something new about my car...

Yo... Your Super Plazma Xenon HID Super White lights... Are they legal or illegal??

Bro,

 

They are 12.8v. Think should be ok. Bought them at McWells. Anyway, I seldom switch on fog lamps unless it's super-duper heavy rain. I still have the stock ones.

Thanks Genie. I tried it today. Pretty difficult to yank it out. But with a bit more effort, managed to get it out and remove the filter. However, I noticed that you've got to slant the filter 90 degrees to the left so as to take it out since there is some obstruction in the front.
