So, I've been working on my Hyundai Accent GS LC 2000 1.5L manual 2 door hatchback every since coming back home. It's been running sluggish, weak, and not fuel efficient.
Done all the basic stuff, change engine oil, coolant, clutch fluid, spark plugs, spark plug leads, fuel filter, and finally figured out how to change the manual transmission oil (there was only 1.2L in there and all brown/black :surprise
Last thing to do is, change air filters, air filter and cabin air filter.
Opened up the bottom for the cabin air filter and what do I find? Nothing! :surprise:
Now I wish I had kept my old receipts from the mechanic so I can cross check if they had 'done' any work on the cabin air filter...
So the question and problem now is, the metal grill (similar to what you have for the radiator and stuff) has leaves and feathers stuck in it (I guess I've found the problem to why vehicle and fuel performance has dropped recently?), what's the best way to get them out?
Is the grill compartment easy to take out and clean (especially for a beginner like me)? Or will this require someone with more experience?
Which comes down to the question also, my radiator and the grill just in front of it are covered in small pebbles and such, same thing, best way to clean? Easy to take out? I wouldn't mind getting those cleaned out if possible.
