Where is it located, when and how is the Opel Astra G, H, J air filter replaced?

Where is it located, when and how to change the Opel Astra air filter of all generations, unit functions, features and detailed maintenance instructions.

A car air filter is an element that serves to clean the air entering the engine intake tract from dust and other contaminants.
Thanks to this part, particles that can damage it do not enter the engine, and the combustion process occurs correctly. Replacing the Opel Astra air filter, as well as on other cars, must be done regularly, the interval is regulated by the manufacturers. If you do not change it in a timely manner, the likelihood of serious damage to the power unit increases significantly. You can tell that the cleaning element is worn out by difficult starting, loss of power and increased consumption.

To increase power, some owners install sports filters that have a reduced, or zero, air resistance coefficient. However, such tuning can be harmful, so such upgrades should be carried out after first familiarizing yourself in detail with the operation of the car engine and making sure that the part being installed is reliable and safe.

To do the work yourself, you do not need any special knowledge or special tools. When purchasing a part, you should give preference to original spare parts or high-quality analogues. The methods for changing the Opel Astra air filter depend on the generation and have minor differences.

Types of air filters

Today, the air filter for the Opel Astra H is produced in two varieties:

  • ordinary;
  • carbonic.

A conventional filter is characterized by the ability to remove soot, rubber, pollen and heavy volatile compounds. A carbon filter can capture even the smallest particles. These include oxides of nitrogen, sulfur and other harmful groups. If a harmful element combines with coal, absorption or neutralization of the hazardous substance occurs.

When comparing, it becomes clear that you need to purchase a carbon air filter. However, its high purchase price may become some kind of obstacle. If the following symptoms appear, urgent replacement of the air filter is indicated.

  • There is almost no air coming from the stove; it can make a lot of noise.
  • The windows fog up quickly.
  • Foreign odors appeared in the cabin.
  • Dust and debris enter the car interior.

In order to be sure that the air filter is not in order, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics. Today there are original filters for the Opel Astra N, as well as their analogues.

We recommend: Kia Sportage 3 battery - which one to choose?

The difference in cost even among analogues is significant. The quality of the paper used to produce the filter has a direct impact on the air purification process. If little filter paper is used or it is of poor quality, then you should not expect a good result. Synthetic fiber can attract small particles because it is electrostatic.

The car leaves the factory that manufactures Opel Astra h cars with a General Motors brand cleaning filter installed on it with article number 5834 282. The cost of the original air filter starts from 600 rubles.

But there is a small peculiarity: if you remove the filter installed at the factory by the manufacturer, you can see that in addition to the GM inscription, there is a mark related to the direct manufacturer - Filtron.

A part that is manufactured by Filtron can be found much cheaper. For example, an air filter, article number: 08 35 622 can be purchased on the Internet for a price of 260 rubles.

Experts recommend choosing a filter from a well-known and well-established manufacturer for replacement. Based on actual customer ratings and expert opinions from specialists, we can identify several of the best manufacturers of this product.

  2. MANN
  3. A.M.C.

How often to replace the cabin filter

Proper operation of the purifier is important for:

  • performance of the car air conditioner and climate control system;
  • supplying clean air to the car interior to create comfortable driving conditions.

On cars with an air conditioning system, a dust cabin filter is installed, which is suitable for gtc and opc modifications. Opel Astra h cars without air conditioning are equipped with carbon purifiers. For all types of filters, the manufacturer sets a certain replacement frequency, which is 15,000 km or at least once a year.

The replacement period depends on the product manufacturer and the conditions in which the vehicle is operated.

If the car is constantly used in urban conditions with dusty road surfaces and a large amount of exhaust gases, then it is advisable to reduce the frequency of replacing the filter element to 10 - 12 thousand kilometers.

Choosing a cabin filter for Opel Astra

Here the choice is up to the car owner. The original for the Opel car has its GM number 93182436. It is rarely found in retail sales and has to be ordered from the dealers of the manufacturer. Therefore, many drivers purchase a non-original spare part, which does its job well, and its cost is lower than the original filter. Such salon cleaners include products from leading companies TSN, Bosch, Filtron, Delphi, Champion, Mahle, MANN.

Of course, it is better to install a carbon filter; it is a little more expensive than a regular one, but has significant advantages. The design of the product allows you to more effectively purify incoming air, eliminates unpleasant odors coming from outside the car, and removes harmful bacteria
