FILTRON

The iconic 1.9 TDi, Honda’s V-Tec, MPI, HDI – or perhaps something a bit less obvious? 😉

If you could only service cars powered by your four favourite engines, which ones would they be? Let us know which models you’d fill in the blank spaces on the graphic. 🖼️

Every garage mechanic has their own list of cars and engines they work best with. Ones that aren’t overly complicated, ones they’ve come to know inside out through years of experience. Designs that offer easy access to individual components, or simply ones you just like. 💙

And they don’t always have to match online rankings listing the best engines of the last two or three decades. After all, every mechanic has their own preferences, and what some might see as a strange solution, or even an obstacle, could be a feature that makes working on that particular engine more enjoyable than servicing others. 👍

So what’s your top four when it comes to engines you enjoy working on? Let us know! We’re really curious to see who made your list. Maybe you’ll surprise us with something? 😄

Can you guess? Go ahead and let us know which car you think this filter fits, even if you're not sure if the answer is correct 😉

No need to be discouraged, as this puzzle can be quite a challenge even for the most experienced automotive professionals. 🔧 After all, not only is the AP 034/7 fitted to relatively young vehicles that have only been on the market only for a couple of years, but it only goes into models from one brand. It is, therefore, naturally a rather rare sight in auto repair shops.

We mention the AP 034/7 because it is a perfect example of how the FILTRON brand's affiliation to the MANN+HUMMEL group allows us to draw on our vast experience in the production of original assembly filters and the patents used there. 💪 We used one such patent precisely in the development of the filter mentioned here. Its rather unusual shape allows it to make full use of the space available under the bonnet, taking care of the purity of the air entering the engine. 💨 The AP 034/7 is, by the way, one of many examples of how the technological support of the Mann+Hummel Group allows us to create even better products that you can successfully use in your workshop. 😊

So, where would you install this filter? In a BMW, a Mercedes or maybe a Peugeot? Choose the right option from the options shown in the graphic and write the letter in the comments! 💬

So, which cars make you get into positions like these when replacing the cabin filter? 😅 And which one do you find yourself doing more often: the “kneeling warrior” or the “cabin diver”?

From the outside it might look a bit like yoga, but working in a workshop often involves a fair bit of unplanned gymnastics: stretching and contorting your body in ways you’d never have imagined. 🤸‍♂️ When it comes to filters, it’s especially noticeable during cabin filter replacement. Installing one very often means taking on some rather… unconventional positions. 🤨

Your head shoved deep under the glove box or steering wheel, your fingertips just about reaching the filter housing, even though your arm won’t go any further. Or having to dismantle nearly half the car’s interior. That’s unfortunately the everyday reality for mechanics servicing filters. It’s not as simple everywhere as it is in Toyota or older Volkswagen models. 😕

While we don’t have much control over where cabin filters are placed in vehicles, at FILTRON we do our best to support you so that replacing them is as hassle-free as possible, even in the most challenging cases. That’s why our YouTube channel features a wide range of step-by-step video guides showing how to fit cabin filters in many different models. And of course, we haven’t forgotten about the printed instructions included in the filter boxes. 👍

Where do you find such instructions most useful? Which car model do you think has the most difficult cabin filter replacement process? Let us know.
