Review on MAP 1015C Replacement Activated Magentis by Ognjen Cao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does your air conditioner take a long time to cool down and hardly any air comes out of the ventilation slots?

If your air conditioner is taking forever to cool down and the vents barely come out like mine, look no further. It's time to replace the cabin filter. This activated carbon filter is very beneficial. Do yourself a favor and spend $5 more on carbon. Bought for my 2006 Hyundai Sonata, fits perfectly. On this car you want to detach the glove box by first using a screwdriver to pull to the right the black ring that you can see through the hole to the right of the glove box when you open it, and then pull the two clips inward on the glove box itself by pulling them use a slotted screwdriver to lift it slightly, but do not force it. Tada, the glove box falls to the floor, and you gain access to the air filter holder, which you have to use two hands to pinch on two tabs and pull toward you. There may be resistance, but insist. I recently bought my car and the filter hasn't been changed in years. Really disgusting sight. Perennial dead bugs, leaves and lots of dirt. Too bad most owners are so "mechanically" incompetent that they don't spend $15 and take 2 minutes to change a filter. By the way, you should do this every year or every 12,000 km. I have included photos of the unhooked glove box and air filter from the previous owner. Gives you an idea of what an ugly mess full of bacteria and mold might be blowing in your face right now.
