Got A/C? Well this guy didn't and he didn't have any heat coming out of the vents either. Matter of fact he didn't have any air flow at all! The blower motor was running so I had a pretty good idea as to what was going on. Lets have a look.

    My friends 2010 Honda Accord EX sedan had a similar problem With low air flow. Replaced the Interior cabin filter for her and after that maximum air flow. Ac was cold as well.

    "She doesn't blow very well "

    That's what HE said.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Claudio Michael says:

    Omg that is one of the worst Cabin Air Filters I have seen wow @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Claudio Michael says:

    On the older videos like these love the photos at the beginning before the video starts good work as always Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Simonds says:

    I change the cabin air filter every three oil changes… takes less than 5 minutes to replace. Cheap insurance for clean & fresh air!

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mondragon says:

    I learned about cabin air filters last year. My impala had 178k miles before I knew it was a thing. Lmao

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Brady says:

    I have a 08 fusion has very low air flow out of all the vents. However this car doesnโ€™t have a cabin air filter. I guess itโ€™s built in. How can I clean it out when there is no removable filter

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JackTannehillPromoter says:

    So, you did point the air flow arrow down on that new filter, right?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SISI says:

    I'm a lady and need mine fixed. Wish you were closer. IN.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars flyboy 2610 says:

    The cabin air filter is one thing I don't have to worry about on my '04 Trailblazer EXT, cause there ain't none!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bobcat Young says:

    I have the same care but my problem is: when I run the heater, the driver side is hot, passenger is cold. Any thoughts?

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars That American says:

    Just had mine changed yesterday. No dead animals but a crap load of other debris.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paublus Americanus AMERICANUS says:

    I would have tied his hinge parts together with a hot wax gun and his blend doors would have worked till it went to the crusher

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brandon Link says:

    I had almost no heat or AC for years, running the blower on high made it come out like on low, not great in Minnesota winters with rust holes in your doors. One day I finally took apart the blower assembly under the hood and found the metal grate on the firewall blocked up with maple seeds, I don't think that car has a paper cabin filter.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rudolf Benner says:

    Dead center in the middle.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stevan Rose says:

    That happened to our 2012 Toyota Tacoma and the smell almost ruined that truck. I put a mouse blocker hooked to the battery and electric plug ins in the carport. Always trying to keep the mice out.

    Just love those customers that dont read and best never read an owners manual. ๐Ÿ˜† mechanic money 100%

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars KMC Las Vegas says:

    I've seen a few of those…. Sigh. Imagine what the HVAC people see in homes!

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sean McGuirk says:

    So satisfying. If automotive engineers want to BURY necessary HVAC components behind the wall of the dash, shame on them; especially by filling those components with cheap plastic parts stressed at pivot points. My Ranger had the same broken tip on heat/cold blend door. Aftermarket replacement has a metal fitting at actuator attachment point.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Common Sense says:

    I say delete the filter all together! Old cars never had them and never needed them. Great job as always by the way!

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:

    06 Nissan xterra 4.0 v6 has one but when I got the truck it didn't have a whole one in it only 1/2 of one so I picked up a new cabin filter for it and one side fits fine the other crushes in on the deeper inner part on the right side and leaves a gap is that normal or what the shop manual only says replace the filter and nothing more about it

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bob palmer says:

    do you have a video on 2005 subaru legacy no heat on passenger side

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrR9brasil says:

    I changed the cabin air filter on my Prius and a mouse nest fell out.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MsLeelee94 says:

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Colin Fruend says:

    The amount of crap that manages to get into places it's not meant to always amazes me.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars idrobinhood says:

    Everyone that buys any type of vehicle should get a training course of replacing cabin filters and air filters. Saves money and saves the cars down the road.

    Low air flow and no heat or cool air blowing nto my Mitsubishi L200 2009. What could be the cause/s or solution please? I'm real daft when it comes to this area of life.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars George Holmes says:

    Nice one , appreciated much!

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bryan Welch says:

    How much could an oem part be? I don't get why you hate on napa parts but use them on your customers cars? Why? Do you even give them an option?

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Efrem Williams says:

    Bought a used car about a year ago. Had decent airflow, but had to put on the 2nd setting and had an odor with the ac on. Checked the cabin filter, it looked like a science experiment gone terribly wrong.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Time for Change Trudeau must go says:

    I always check my own filters…

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James says:

    Thank Dog you didn't keep doing that intro thing. For most people an intro lasting more than 5 seconds and I'm gone. Country music, I'm pausing the video, leaving a comment with lotsa swears, and then "Don't show me videos from this channel." ๐Ÿ™‚ Kidding. Love this channel.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Neechie and The Brain says:

    "There's your problem lady"!
    "She's just not a good blower"!
