A/C Filter
Honda Accord 2000 EX, 4cyl, 4-door. The manual says to replace air
conditioning filter at 30k miles. I ask my mechanic and he says it is not necessary. I'd like to replace it myself but not sure where it is located. I've got 45k miles now and want to replace the a/c filter myself (if it's easy enough to do). Does anyone know? Thanks in advance. |
Re: A/C Filter
The filter location looks pretty hard to reach... I have to do same on my
2002 Odyssey. May I ask how much time you took to do the job?

Re: A/C Filter
Not familar with the Odyssey filter, but the '99 Prelude required removing
the glove box and cutting a plastic bar along the bottom of the dash. The service manual gave explicit locations to cut in order to provide access to the AC evaporator filter door. Whole replacement process took about 45-60 minutes. Next time it should take less than 15. I believe the bar that required cutting was only to provide a little support while the dash was being installed at the factory. I never did find an aftermarket filter for the Prelude and I think the dealer price was around $30.00 for the pair - more than twice what the Accord's were. Hope this helps, J.

Of course, I live in a big city with bad air -- YMMV. BTW, there are some jobs I'll do myself on my '00 Accord SE, but this one looked a little too complicated. I paid to have it done. Paul |

I have a '01 Accord LX V6. I purchased the filtres for $18.70 Canadian each (both are the same) plus tax of course. The shop foreman printed out the directions for the removal of the glove box and the filtres. I haven't gotten around to changing them, but, the dealership charges half an hour for labour for doing the job. -- Brian www.accesswave.ca/~orion |

Re: A/C Filter
Hi,
On CRV it was behind the glove box. Less than 1 hour job. I think next time I can do it in 30 mins. Tony Daniel wrote: > The filter location looks pretty hard to reach...

Re: A/C Filter
Hi J.
This afternoon I went about trying to figure out how to replace the filter. The only way I could gain access was to cut the same plastic bar on the 2002 Odyssey. The metal brace behind it was easily removed, after removing one screw at each end. The owner`s manual does not say a word on this filter replacement procedure. Strange `cause yours does. With no other information, and while figuring out the whole thing, , I came to the conclusion either I had to cut the plastic bar, either I had the remove the whole dash - it is moulded in one single piece- while trying to avoid the air bag to deploy at my face. I concluded the same about the plastic bar than you did, which was reassuring to me : provide support while assembling at the plant. I cut the bar in the middle , only after I realized that at both ends there were open slits, like pilot holes indicating where to slide a small saw to cut loose. It took me 1 hour, I forecast 20 minutes next time. I removed the filter (Odyssey only has one filter) , and having no spare in my hands, I decided to wash it in mild soap. Let it dry, and put it back.

If they had less filter media, the holes would be bigger, therefore they would take longer to plug those holes. Now, as to the cleaning quality in the meantime, I don't know, but I do know that filters generally clean better if they are a little bit dirty. Nate |

Check out the above link. Good luck. It should take you at least an hour the first time.
