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 Westside Mechanical in Graceville 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 Westside Mechanical in Graceville 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.

Modern cars tend to be quite complex and just like the engine a vehicle's air conditioning system has elements that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

Leaking refrigerant or low refrigerant due to evaporation means your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, increasing the amount of fuel you use.

Therefore it is important that the rubber seals are evaluated regularly for any signs of leaks or damage which could be contributing to a loss of refrigerant.

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced every twelve months means you generally assist protection from costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced automotive air conditioner actually saves you money because it means less fuel is being used.

Fuel Injectors: Electronically controlled valves which supply a specific amount of fuel to the engine.

Sequential Firing Device: Controls when the fuel injection system opens so that it operates in sequence with the combustion cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Located in the exhaust pipe to measure how much oxygen is being dispelled and that the correct fuel to air ratio is being burned.

Mass Airflow Sensor: Located in the engine control unit to measure how much air is being mixed with fuel.
