Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to David Galea Mechanical in Rural View today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At David Galea Mechanical in Rural View we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

We've all been there - stepping into our car on a hot day, flipping on the air conditioning, and...nothing. No blast of cold air, no relief from the heat, just a growing sense of discomfort. Your car's air conditioning (AC) is your best friend during those scorching summer months, and when it's not working, you certainly feel the difference.

Weak Airflow: If the air isn't blasting out as powerfully as it used to, there might be a blockage or a problem with your car's blower.

Warm Air: The AC's primary job is to cool the air. If it's pushing out warm air, there could be a compressor issue or a refrigerant leak.

Odd Noises: When you turn on your AC, it should be relatively quiet. Rattling or buzzing sounds can indicate a problem with the internal machinery.

Foul Smells: Unpleasant odors coming from your AC can be a sign of a dirty filter or mold in the system, which is not just bad for the car but potentially harmful to you.

Signs of a Failing Air Conditioning System:

If you're noticing any of these signs, it might be time to bring your car in for an air conditioning service and repair.

Think of your car's air conditioning like your own respiratory system - to function correctly, it needs to be clean and unobstructed. Regular servicing ensures that any potential issues are caught early, preventing more significant problems down the line. It keeps your system running efficiently, which can save you money on fuel and repairs in the long term. Most importantly, it ensures that the air inside your car is clean and healthy to breathe.
