However, most manufacturers install on their vehicles carbon cabin filter ("Renault Logan" and "Dacia Logan"). They are much cheaper and the functionality is not inferior to its competitors.
How to determine which cabin filter “author” need to be replaced? Actually it is very simple. The first sign of dirty filter – it is the emergence of a variety of persistent unpleasant smells inside the car. Sometimes they may not erode for weeks, and this is the symptom of needing replacement. The second feature – a decline in the power of the ventilation system and heater. For example, if you turn the stove on high, and out of the vents and duct felt only a barely perceptible stream of air, means that the system is clogged with dirt and dust. Also the main symptom may become a constant misting.
The third feature – the formation of a large layer of dust for a short period of time on the dashboard. The car is simply impossible to breathe because of this, and besides, there is a smell of mold. This may indicate the accumulation of moisture inside the cabin filter, that was there during the thaw. If you notice any of the above symptoms, it is necessary to check the condition of filter and replace it.
