- The filter is there to keep dirt and debris from entering the engine. A dirty or clogged air filter can cause the engine to work harder than it really needs to. A clogged filter can lead to a loss of power, dirty smoke, a check engine light coming on, and even engine failure.

I just found out that the person who looked at my cars air filter broke the clips that hold down the housing and therefore causing debris to come into the manifold. Never trust an idiot.
Yea thats a bummer.
I am cool with a idiot - but don't be a dishonest idiot - just let me know you that you broke my sh*t, so I can get it fixed or replace it - there is nothing wrong with mistakes as long as the person owns up to it (just my opinion)
"I know a guy who can do it cheaper." Always means, "I know a crackhead."
that happen to me at a Take5 oil change . didn’t tell me anythin, didn’t think he even knew how take it out . looks like they forced to open it, when normal way it easy to take off
Mechanic forgot to clip one clip. Car is sluggish now and engine light is on. Hope you can advise. Thanks for the video
Take it back to the shop.
If my fuel economy hasnt improved after replacing air filter what do you suspect is the reason?
Can a bad air filter cause overheating I’ve change out a lot of my coolent systems parts already and it happens once in awhile
Great video!
Okay Mr. Vladimir... I appreciate this video my man lol u do sound Russian though maybe Bulgarian
Haha, it's Igor and no I am not russian or bulgarian, but keep on guessing :)

30.000 miles is a lot , should be changed every 12/15000 miles max
Nobody told me this. Corolla been driving for over 20,000 miles. Just ordered a new one
Depends on where you live. I can go easily 30k without changing it.
The 8th symptom.....a terrible accent
Completely irrelevant to the air filter, but thanks.
Bang on advise it’s the same for a Diesel. I will change mine tomorrow.
Underneath Floor seems had strange noise recently detect on honda ...check human resource , custom office , immigrant offices for problem of lower ranking
Would I need to change it if the AC recirculating button doesn’t come on when I use the ac but works with the ac off?
I’m late but this has no effect on it. This just filters the air your engine sucks in, unrelated to your hvac. This is either an electrical issue or simply how your car is designed
Change my air filter. And now I have a check engines in light.
Do you have an OBD scanner to reset the light?
Every 30 thousand miles?
Yep, thats right.
THANK YOU!! Love your videos so far so i subscribed! Saved some as well! Trying to learn more about cars other than what my mother has taught me
Awesome! Thank you!
@@carcarehacksmy air filter is $300 dollars
Should we talk about how dirt and grimy my nasty airfilter was? lol. She runs great now.
Oh, I have some nasty photos from mine but I am unable to share them in a comment.
Thanks
That is way i take my of
That works too :)
Thanks
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent💯👍
Thanks ✌️
Fuel injected engines meter the correct amount of fuel for the air flow. A clogged air filter will reduce performance, but not decrease fuel economy. An older carbureted car will have increased fuel usage with a clogged filter.
Correct. Likewise with efi, removing air restrictions will ad air and the computer will ad fuel accordingly to maintain performance
I have a 2012 Honda CRV and my air filter was definitely affecting my fuel efficiency. When I took out my old air filter I thought it would be dirtier than it was. It was black in some areas but lighter in some others areas. After replacing the check engine light went off. But the check gas cap light turned on. My car battery is not holding a charge anymore. So now I think I still have two more issues. Either it's my fuel pump or fuel filter or fuel relay is gone bad. Or it's just battery issue that won't charge anymore.
Ok mr mechanic 🧰
Why would my air filter box feel hot??
Basically 3 things can cause this. Engine is generating more heat than it should (monitor the temperature gauge), poorly sealed air filter box which allows it to draw in extra hot air from the engine, and a dirty or clogged air filter.
Thank you I found a long crack at the bottom of the air box thanks alot you nailed it
It was not noticeable when I checked my air filter until I used a flash light at night and looked at the box sure shit light was coming from the box! So how can I repair this until I find a new box?
