VE 2008 strange issue with Air Con (Front Vents ON and Off)

[VFSV6FORME]

Not all have the filter. If you have never bought one, it’s either rancid or not there.
They should be replaced about every 12mths.

I use a WesFil cabin filter which is almost identical to the Ryco. I do have to add some extra foam seal to the two top edges.

The cabin filter is located under the wiper shroud on the passenger side. There’s a how to on AutoInstruct.com

Yes I noticed yesterday that one or two of that clips are missing so by this you know someone has been in there.
I will buy a Cabin filter next time I go out. Do they Leak as you need the Extra Foam?

I used a ryco one. You may not get a 100% seal but I didn't see anything to worry about. 97% seal is a lot better than the original flyscreen they put in there. It does a good job of filtering Diesel smoke but they're a bit expensive. Maybe wait for a 30% off day

I always miss the 30% off Days either super Cheap or AutoBahn. How expensive is Expensive.

I use Wesfill. I get them on eBay. I compared it to the. Repco one and was exactly the same. A fraction of the price. I suspect they are the same filter.

The top edges on repco and wesfil don’t match exactly to the shape so some adhesive foam blocks up the gap.

When the blower fan is running, the filter seals up well enough against the flange to not worry about leakage.

I just purchased this one for the VE.

Noice. Get some adhesive foam that’s about 10mm thick to stick on those two angled edges. The sides, top and bottom will fit great. It’s just those two edges on the angle.

Clark Blubber will have it, or at a stretch Bunnings.

I would like to take the whole lid off to see inside, clean inside, see the drain hole inside but after removing those 5 clips ( I think 5) and the one close to the screen I don't want to force it off as they must have other clips that you cannot see close to the windscreen itself holding the whole section down.

Yes the VE has a mesh grille and no filter at all

 

[VFSV6FORME]

By the way, do you remove the original course grill before fitting the new filter?

one thing you can try is a flap reset.

I've met a few ladies over the years who would have benefited from such a procedure..
