Signs that replacement is needed

If you suddenly find that your heating or air conditioning systems begin to work intermittently, the air flow becomes weaker, or the windows begin to fog up when these devices are operating, or a burning smell appears in the cabin, then one of the reasons may be a clogged cabin filter.

It should be taken into account that the activity and place of operation of the vehicle also plays a big role. For example, if a car is often used in rural areas, the service life of the consumable is reduced. In this case, in order to quickly understand when you need to make a replacement, you need to familiarize yourself with the signs, when they occur, you will determine the right time for the event.

When dust or dirty particles penetrate into the vehicle interior, microelements settle on the upholstery, which affects the life of its use. After the expiration date of the consumable, clean air stops flowing into the cabin, which causes an accumulation of carbon dioxide.

If the car model is equipped with an air conditioning system, then the air that circulates when heating or cooling the cabin goes through the cabin filter. If this element is not operated correctly or is not replaced in a timely manner, the operation of the system is disrupted, which leads to a malfunction.

If you suddenly notice the above signs, replace the consumable immediately!

Important information! When the filter is dirty, all these signs occur simultaneously and are strongly expressed in winter, when the interior is ventilated not through lowered windows, but in the summer through ventilation systems. This situation is unacceptable - situations where a broken filter becomes the result of diseases of the motorist’s respiratory system are not uncommon. Therefore, this part must be replaced frequently.

Replacement instructions

The cabin filter in the X-Trail 31 is located on the driver's side of the seat, at the feet. Replacement is carried out in several steps:

1. Find the cabin filter to the right of the gas pedal. It is closed with an oblong rectangular black plastic cover. The cover is secured with two latches - top and bottom. No bolts.

2. For convenience, you can remove the plastic casing on the right, which is located in the place marked by the arrow. But you don’t have to take it off. It does not create any special obstacles.

3. But the gas pedal can get in the way. If you can’t get it into the right place to remove or install the filter, then it will have to be dismantled. It is secured with the bolts marked in the picture. However, if you have some experience and manual dexterity, the pedal will not become an obstacle. We change the filter without removing the gas pedal.

4. The plastic cover covering the filter must be squeezed out and pryed off from below with a regular flat-head screwdriver. She gives in easily. Pull towards yourself and the lower part will come out of its socket. Then all that remains is to snap off the top one and remove the cover completely.

5. Press down on the middle of the old filter, then its corners will appear outward. Grasp the corner and gently pull it towards you. Pull out the entire filter.

6. An old filter is usually darkened, dirty, clogged with dust and all sorts of debris. The photo below shows the contrast between the old and new filter.

7. Then you should unpack the new filter. It can be regular or carbon, with additional filling for better air filtration. It is gray in color even when new. The photo below shows a carbon filter. You can also clean the filter seat - blow it with a compressor and remove visible dust.

8. Then carefully insert the new filter into the seat. To do this, you will have to slightly crumple it. Modern synthetic materials from which such filters are made are quite flexible and plastic, and quickly return to their previous shape. However, it is also important not to overdo it here. Bending is necessary only at the initial stage in order to insert the structure into the seat.

9. It is also important to consider the location of the filter. On its end side there are arrows that show the right direction. It is necessary to install the filter so that the arrows point inside the cabin.

10. Place the entire filter into the seat, carefully straighten it so that it takes the correct position. There should be no kinks, bends, protruding sides or gaps.

Once the filter is in place, snap the lid and, if something was dismantled, put these parts back in place. Remove dust that spilled onto the floor during work.

Problems when paying with bank cards

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

1. There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
2. A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
3. The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
4. There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.

Replacement frequency

It is recommended to change the cabin filter on the Nissan X-Trail at every scheduled technical inspection, or every 15 thousand kilometers. However, in fact, it is necessary to focus, first of all, not on dry numbers, but on operating conditions.

The quality of the air that the driver and passengers breathe directly depends on the condition of the cabin filter. And if the structure has fallen into disrepair, it is not able to cope with the tasks assigned to it.

In addition to the fact that it will not be able to purify the air, it will also become a favorable place for the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Factors that affect the wear of the cabin filter:

1. The filter lasts the longest in small towns with asphalt pavement. If it is a large city with a lot of traffic or, conversely, a small city with dusty dirt roads, the filter will need to be changed more often.
2. In the warm season, protective materials deteriorate faster than in the cold season. Again due to dusty roads.
3. The more time the car is used, the more often the filter will have to be changed.

Many motorists and service center technicians recommend replacing them once a year, at the end of autumn. When it got colder, the road surface cooled down and there was much less dust.

Modern filters are made of synthetic materials that are good at retaining micro-particles of dust. They are also additionally treated with an antibacterial compound to prevent the development of diseases.

Changing the filter on T30 (first generation)

• Empty the glove compartment (glove compartment).
• Feel for the axes on which it is attached (located on the sides of the structure). Turn them towards you, and, using a slotted screwdriver, unfasten them from the corners and remove them.
• Having removed the structure, you can find a plastic part secured with six self-tapping screws. They must be unscrewed using a Phillips screwdriver.
• Having slightly raised the upper edge of the glove compartment, you should bend the plate located on top so that it hangs on the wires.
• Having removed the wire stretched through the SF cover, we completely remove the filter element.
• Install the new part, making sure the arrow points upward.
• In reverse order, return everything to its place.

Changing the filter on T31 (second generation)

In technical centers, technicians use a technique that involves removing the gas pedal. It’s better to use a less complicated method on your own.

• Lift your hand and pull the plastic cover next to the gas pedal toward you, removing it. Attention, the part is extremely fragile, manipulations must be performed with extreme care.

• Under it is the SF cover. Since there is a radiator nearby, burns should be avoided. Remove the cover by pulling it towards the pedal (gas).

• Use a screwdriver to pry up the SF and pull it out.

• Bend the new filter into a butterfly and install it in place of the old one. It will straighten itself during installation.

• Holding the gas pedal with your hand, insert the filter into the connector.
• Reinstall the trim.

T31

It’s hard to say what the designers were starting from and what the engineers were thinking about when they changed the cabin air filtration system on the second generation Nissan X-Trail. It’s difficult to understand why it was necessary to change the completely successful and convenient location of this consumable. But the owners of the X-Trail in the T31 body have no choice but to come to terms with this reality and solve problems as they arise. Some people get out of the situation by contacting a car service center, where specialists take care of changing the cabin filter on the Nissan X-Trail T31. This is a waste of money that can be saved and spent on more important and complex work.

It is also interesting that in the operating manual and service regulations for the Russian market, Nissan cites some strange, in the opinion of many motorists, numbers. After all, they advise changing the cabin filter after 30 thousand kilometers. And this supposedly takes into account more difficult operating conditions than in Europe, where, according to the regulations, replacement is carried out only at every 4 scheduled maintenance. In reality, things are different. Even an original high-quality filter from Nissan in Russian conditions can lose its effectiveness after 15-20 thousand kilometers. Some even change consumables after 7-10 thousand km, or 2 times a year. The next pressing issue regarding replacing the cabin filter on a Japanese crossover from Nissan in the T31 body is the choice of the consumable itself. Moreover, some X-Trail owners do not know which of the original filters is better for them to take, since there are catalog numbers 27277 EN000 and 27277 EN025.

We reveal a secret that is not a secret at all, but rather another strange decision on the part of the manufacturer. The original cabin filter for T31 was produced for many years, and for some reason it had different catalog numbers in different years. Although in reality it was the same consumable. There is absolutely no difference between the products with the indicated numbers. The cost of the original is relatively low, therefore, in the case of replacing cabin filters on a Nissan X Trail in the T31 body, there is no urgent need to look for more affordable analogues. If you cannot purchase the original for one reason or another, you can look for an alternative consumable among the products of the following brands:

• Nevsky filter.
• Filtron K.
• Sakura.
• Delphi.
• TSN, etc.

The only recommendation would be to buy a carbon filter, and not a regular paper one. It copes much more effectively not only with mechanical cleaning, but also eliminates odors in the cabin during frequent driving in city traffic jams, smog and smoke.

If you have purchased a suitable filter element for cleaning cabin air in your Japanese crossover X-Trail T31, you can proceed directly to replacement. The procedure is noticeably more complicated and in many ways more inconvenient than that of its predecessor T30. But if you want to save on car service services, you will have to be patient.

• To replace, you will need a standard set of screwdrivers, a new filter and a small LED flashlight. Here you will need a good and compact light source so that the massive lamp does not interfere with you.
• If we go by the factory recommendations, then everything is very scary and not all T31 car owners decide to do such work. This is due to one replacement point, which requires removing the gas pedal. In fact, you can do without this step, so feel free to take on the work yourself.
• It is better to work when the engine is cool, when the heater has not been turned on for a long time. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting burns from hot pipes.
• Before dismantling work, be sure to set the desired position of the climate control damper. You should turn the knob until the maximum hot air blows on the glass. This way the flap will go all the way down. And when you remove the gearmotor, the correct position of the gears will not be lost.
• To gain access to the consumable, you need to remove the plastic cover. You will find it near the driver's right foot. There are latches on the top and back of the cover. The plastic here is also not of the best quality, and at low temperatures it is easy to break. Therefore, it is better to work in a warm garage, or preheat the interior using a stove.

• By removing the plastic cover, you have a view of the stove radiator. There may be hot pipes here, so be extremely careful. The stove body is located right there.
• In the back of the case there is a cover that blocks access to our cabin filter. Only the gear motor prevents you from getting to it.
• The gearmotor is removed from the connector, the fasteners are unscrewed and the device is moved to the side for now.
• The filter cover is lifted at the bottom and snaps off. It is simply held on by clamps.

• Remove the old consumable from its seat. Here it is better to take a vacuum cleaner and thoroughly walk through the entire filter landing cavity.
• If there is an unpleasant and musty smell in the car, at this stage it is recommended to treat the air conditioner evaporator with a special cleaner. For such purposes, antiseptic sprays are provided, sold in any automotive chemical store.
• When pulling out the old filter, do not be afraid that you will touch it against the gas pedal sensor. Anyway, he has done his job and will go in the trash.
• When installing a new filter, this sensor becomes a certain obstacle. To get by, you will have to fold the new element in the shape of a butterfly, holding it with your hand in the center.
• Now bring one edge inside the seat, then bend it a little more at the point of compression so as not to touch the gas pedal.
• If about 70%!f(MISSING)filter has already entered, you can open the butterfly. The elasticity of the material allows it to actually straighten out on its own. You just need to push the element a little and completely seat it in the socket.

At the final stage, the cover is installed, the gear motor is returned to its place and the plastic cover is closed. As you can clearly see, in the case of T31, the procedure is noticeably more complex and delicate. But you can deal with it yourself.

How often should I replace it?

For the Russian market, the service regulations provide for replacing the Nissan X-Trail cabin filter at intervals of 30,000 kilometers (every even service). For Europeans, for example, this is prescribed to be done only at every fourth service, but even a double reserve in our conditions is not always enough: the filter can lose efficiency even after 20 thousand.

During the summer season, crossovers are often used as country cars or for weekend trips into nature. In any case, the car has to deal with a lot of dust - the loams of the Non-Black Earth region generate it in huge quantities in the heat, and all of it settles in the filter. In the fall, leaves are added to this, but urban smog supplies microparticles of soot all year round.

T30

The first generation of the Japanese crossover, called the X-Trail, was developed back in 2000. After 3 years, restyling was carried out, but no changes occurred in relation to the location or design of the cabin filter. Therefore, the instructions in question will be relevant for the pre-restyling and restyled versions of the T30. The procedure begins with selecting the consumable itself, as well as determining the frequency of replacement. In general, motorists recommend starting from the condition of the element, but at the same time changing it at least once a year or maximum every 20 thousand kilometers.

Although it is often recommended to replace the cabin filter on a Nissan X-Trail in the T30 body no later than after 15 thousand kilometers. Otherwise, the old filter element no longer copes with the assigned tasks, and begins to work more to the detriment than to the benefit of the driver and his passengers. Dense city traffic, driving on dusty and dirty roads makes it necessary to shorten the recommended maintenance interval for the cabin filter. As for the consumables themselves, the choice here is between original and non-original spare parts. In the first case, the consumable can be found by catalog number B727A79925. But you can also take analogues produced by the following well-established companies:

• Filtron.
• Mann.
• Sakura.
• Mayle.
• Nevsky, etc.

Analogues are somewhat cheaper, although they are not much inferior in terms of efficiency. Here the choice is directly up to the car owner of the X-Trail crossover, whoever is more comfortable.

The developers of the first generation did not come up with anything complicated, and chose a completely standard and easily accessible location for the cabin filter. You can find it behind the glove compartment, that is, behind everyone’s favorite glove compartment. The procedure itself looks like this:

Prepare a minimum set of tools and materials. This includes a regular Phillips and flathead screwdriver, a new filter, and a flashlight for better visibility during the replacement process. Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible for easier access to the filter element. Now open the glove compartment. It is better to remove everything unnecessary from the glove compartment. At the corners of the glove compartment there are small plastic clips. These clips should be removed. They are dismantled manually. They just need to be carefully pulled out. If you can’t do this manually, use a flat-head screwdriver to help yourself by prying up the edges of the clip. After removing the glove box fastenings, the glove compartment can be safely removed and put aside. We don't need him yet. Behind the glove compartment there is another plastic element that acts as a fence. The plastic is held in place with 6 self-tapping screws. Therefore, prepare a Phillips screwdriver and start unscrewing the fasteners one by one. Place them carefully in one place so as not to lose them when reassembling. Remove the partition and put it aside. That's it, now in front of you is the filter housing of the first generation X-Trail crossover. The lid itself is held in place simply by 2 latches. They are removed manually and the cover is removed. Only if you change the filter in winter, when it is very cold in the cabin, then you need to remove the fasteners extremely carefully. Not the highest quality plastic is used here. Because of this, at low temperatures the material becomes extremely brittle.

The latches and the lid itself can be easily broken.

Having opened the cover that blocks access to the cabin filter of the first generation Japanese crossover, pay attention to the location of the arrows on the consumable body. They should look down, that is, at the front passenger's feet

The new consumable should be placed in the same way. Carefully remove the old filter and clean the seat using a dry rag or vacuum cleaner. If desired, you can blow out the nest with compressed air under low pressure. Insert the new filter so that the arrows on the consumable housing are pointing down. These indicators show how outside air should flow through the element. Reassemble everything in reverse order.

If we talk about the first generation of the X-Trail crossover, then replacing the cabin air filter is a simple task. Many cars have a similar arrangement. In fact, you only need to snap off a few clamps and unscrew 6 screws, and then screw everything into place. The work is considered complete when you return the glove compartment to its rightful place. Considering the simplicity of the task, replacing the cabin filter on Nissan X-Trail T30 cars in most cases is carried out independently by the car owners themselves.

Replacing SF in T30

Tools

Before proceeding with the direct replacement of the SF, you should prepare in advance:

• slotted screwdriver;
• Phillips screwdriver;
• new filter element.

Step-by-step instruction

Even the most inexperienced driver can replace the element at home. To do this, just follow the steps described below.

1. First of all, you need to remove everything from the glove compartment.
2. Having released it, in the corners you will see the axles on which the glove compartment is attached. They need to be turned towards themselves and using a slotted screwdriver you need to pry them off and then remove them from the corners. You can see what the axles look like when dismantled in the photo below. X-Trail T30 glove compartment axles
3. Then you need to remove the glove compartment. Having done this, you will see another plastic element that needs to be removed by unscrewing 6 screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
4. Next, slightly raise the upper glove compartment. You will see a plate that can also be dismantled or simply bent, and then pulled out this part from below. We do this carefully. After completing these steps, the part will hang on the wires - this is how it should be. Glove compartment part on the wires
5. The cover of the filter element opens to your view. It must be dismantled by first removing the wire stretched across the cover.
6. We remove the old SF, in its place we put a new one, observing the correct position (the arrow of the component should be directed upward).
7. Next, everything needs to be assembled in reverse order.
