This Rs 200 Item Can Maximize Your Car AC Cooling! Check Details | Auto News

The air that enters the cabin from the AC vents first passes through a filter to ensure that clean air reaches the cabin while trapping contaminants outside. This filter, known as the AC filter or cabin air filter, removes dust, dirt, and other pollutants from the air.

Over time, the filter becomes clogged, compromising the AC’s cooling efficiency and the airflow. As the filter accumulates dust and dirt, airflow decreases, leading to reduced AC performance. Moreover, bacteria and mold trapped in the dirty air filter can thrive in the presence of moisture, causing bad odor.

You can get rid of this yourself by replacing the clogged filter with a new one, available online at a starting price of Rs 200 (Approximately). Prices may vary depending on the make and model of your car.
