2006 Sonata 4Cyl Cabin Air Filter Maintenance
 

Am I reading the maintenance schedule correctly? I interpret the
scheduled maintenance to be 12 months or 10K miles , whichever comes
first? Seems relatively frequent to replace an air conditioner filter.
Also, it is quite expensive. Another opinion would be welcome. Thanks

Just use the smell test, mine make it to near 3 years.
It started smelling bad when the fan was turned on, for about the first
5 minutes, that's the clue.

Yes, but if something goes wrong with the air compressor, etc. and the
filter is dirty, and no record of the required maintenance, the
warranty would most likely be voided due to my negligence. I guess I
was asking if I was reading the maintenace schedule correctly: 12
months or 10k, whichever comes first--replace the air cabin filter.?
Thanks

Where can I buy a replacement Cabin Air Filter for 2005 Sonata V6 ??

The instructions for replacing it, as shown on the 'online' manual make
it look like a fairly easy job.

If you want to save some money and still get good air filtering, buy a
12x20x1" pleated air filter on cardboard frame for $3.00 from Home
DePot , and cut it down to size. Worked well for me.

Dave,
your idea has merit and I may do just that at a later time.

But I looked into the "existing filter" and found there is none in
place !!
I bought the car new, 20 months ago, and it now has 12,000 miles.
So I guess I'll buy one filter and a year from now use it as a model to
'make my own'.

Locally, AUTOZONE tells me they have a cabin filter for the XG350 but
not for the Sonata. I have a feeling that they are the same for the
XG350 and for the Sonata.
Why do I say that ??
Well, it is an aftermarket product by Bosch.
Online at some website I found they have the Bosch for both the XG350
and the Sonata and they both have the same part number.

REPLY: Ogato, When i bought my mom her 2004 SantaFe , there was no air
filter in her filter compartment either ; just an empty slot where the
filter would slide into. But, there was a filter in my 2002 SantaFe .
Oh well....
