Anybody out there have any pics or illustration on how to replace the cabin air filter? Thanks much appreciated!! Acura charges a arm and a leg to get this replaced!!!!

 

omg!
well, replacing this can be done by a 10 years old girl.
i will put some pics in few houres.

 

I think the hardest part is taking the darn shelf off on the inside of the glove box.

I still cant figure out how to do it, my coworker did it. He said he pulled it, but the instructions in the manual says lift and pull or something..

I need to replace mine again, anybody know the right way to pull the sucker out again.

 

Thanks pics would help!! This is a great discussion point for this forum and plus it will save all of us some $$ in the process!! Much appreciated!

 

Look at the 3G TL Garage to find the cabin filter replacement thread here: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-service-department-aka-garage-questions-answers-check-here-first-553557/

It should be similar to the CU2.

As far as the shelf is concerned, know that it is clipped in, so you have to tug at it pretty good.

 

it is so easy. to get this cabin air filter replaced. i dont know why they charge so much. i will find a link for you and post it when find it.

 

Thx Man! Acura is a rip off! I prefer to do the basic stuff myself. I'm sure I could prob figure it out but post that pic or diagram when you get a chance! Thx again!

I just did this myself about 2 weeks ago. So easy to do. I thought the glove box shelf would be difficult to pull out but all I did was pull on it with a bit of force. Pull out the filter panel cover and then pull out the filter holder. Replace the old filter with new one and put them all back.

I also did the engine air filter and I didn't even need any tools. If I were to do these again, probably take 5 minutes.

My odometer was at 32k miles. First time changing these and they were both pretty dirty.

 

Just make sure you line up the glove box shelf properly before you try to push it back in position.

A big thanks from me, also, as I just did this last night, took about 5 minutes. Just bought the car used but changed it anyway because I didn't trust the dealer, but they had changed it--at some point, cos it was kinda dirty, and now I feel better!
