I think you reversed the air flow direction of the filter. I know that air is sucked down from top to bottom. If so, the air flow direction shall be inserted in the downward direction as the product is. The UP of the filter seems to be just a mark of the genuine product.
@@kyetivids Thank you for your interest. I inquired about the filter company, and they said that the direction of the arrow goes down. In fact, the wind was blowing down. He did the opposite. The UP mark on the genuine product is just an indication of how to fit it. It's not an airflow direction.
@@kyetivids No he did it wrong. The air flows down otherwise the blower motor mounted below the filter would accumulate all the dirt and debris. The old filter had an up arrow which of course points up. That has nothing to do with air flow. It's just telling us which side goes up. Air flow arrow should point down.
This is why I don't trust anyone to work on my vehicle, not even a mechanic... You can't assume that your old cabin air filter was put in correctly and simply copy it. Air flow is NOT going up. Air flow is down. If you put the filter in with the air flow arrow pointing up then it's upside down. The ONLY time an arrow on a cabin air filter should point up is if it says "up" next to the arrow. All horizontally mounted cabin air filters with the blower motor mounted below the filter have downward air flow. Otherwise the blower motor would be full of dirt and debris. If it doesn't say up next to the arrow then the arrow indicates air flow direction and should point down. Another simple way to determine this is noticing how the dirt accumulates on top of the old filter which proves that dirty unfiltered air enters the topside of the filter and flows downward. Still not sure? Then remove the filter and turn on the blower. Then put your hand where the filter goes. Does it feel like it's blowing upward? Use a piece of string or tissue paper. They will be sucked downward. All the Range Rover parts that say up on them have nothing to do with air flow. They are simply telling us which side goes up. So if your filter says "up" next to the arrow then of course it should point up. If it doesn't say anything next to the arrow (like on a WIX branded filter) then by default an arrow on an air filter indicates air flow direction. I've already emailed WIX to confirm this to be true.
Nice video showing how easy this is. Would never have thought to turn the car and Aircon ON before changing the filter.
Thank you for your videos! It's sad though that there's 35,000 people out there that have viewed this video and ain't shit for not liking it
Excellent. As always, you all are the best resources around
BTW, there is a bracket holding the air filter, you should take the bracket out then change.
Amazed he didn’t know that. You are spot on.
Just push on the top of the felt tab on each side with index finger it comes right down

nope.. it's correct like he did it.

@@stevensong1102 I just checked mine and the air was indeed flowing down.

Thank you I change my filter by self saving money saving time 👍🏻
