Heres some Pics of my cabin air filter and some instalation pis also....

1 The cabin filter old new file is a comparison between the 5 year old filter and the new one.

2 The Filter Debris file is a closeup of all the junk stuck in my old filter.

3 The Filter Replacement 1 file shows the filter housing without the filter after uninstalling the black cowling below the windshield.

4 The Filter Replacement 2 file shows the filter housing with the new filter installed.

I bought my new filter at Advance Auto for around 17 bucks. Installation is as easy as removing the Pass side cowling and removing 2 clips.

Mine old one looked the same and your old one! And my new one looks the same as your new one!!! LOL I know what you mean about how it was made.

ok, I did not know we had such as this. What year of Cougar are these filters in?

 

[Snowboarder]

every year! 99 and up! The filters are actually more expensive then all the other filters that we have in our car though!

ya I hate that filter... I also thought it was a bit of a pain to replace.

I decided to replace mine last summer... I figured after 5 years it must be disgusting. So I bought a new one and pulled out the old one. and guess what, the old one was perfectly clean [almost as white as the new one]. Appearently, I dont use my cabin air controls much.

I replaced mine last year, it was pretty dirty, but I didn't really notice a difference in anything. What exactly does this thing do?

Text I just replaced my filter after 5 years and mine was just as filthy(can u see that big clump of junk?). It was only 12.99 at Autozone, it was the cheapest and it made a huge difference.

it filters intake air from the outside before it goes through your HVAC ya silly head! (hence the title "cabin air filter").

Yeah seriously, I think I'll replace mine this weekend, i've noticed my AC has to be on full blast (on a 90 degree day) for me to feel "ok". Thanx

replaced it and can't tell any difference. Although it was very nasty.....no cooler air or anything. Might be a freeon thing. Jamie

I don't think the air would be any cooler, but it should be a hell of alot cleaner. I replaced mine in the spring and some little creature had made a nest in mine. Needless to say it was pretty nasty.
