I think the filterwears should go in this area... it gives any water collected on the filter surface a chance to drip down to the water collection area down below. Get their 18"x18" filter sheet, cut and glue to that area.
That’s a good idea. I have a full sock coming that goes over the entire foam lined intake area
That metal unit bottom left of picture has to come out to remove housing to get the filter out correct?
Yes you need to unbolt the battery and push it down to get the cover off.
Does this include the assembly and the filter? I’ve been having this smell now
What’s the price of the sock? Perhaps you can set up a group buy? I and I’m sure others would be interested.
I paid $120 because that’s their cost for a custom job. Once it fits and after some testing, I’m assuming they will offer it.
They are replacing mine tomorrow morning via mobile service. Supposed to be the same assembly. Hopefully it will be an improvement. I’ll try to keep an eye on part numbers.
I will probably just swap the housing cover and save the new filter. Maybe they know the older revisions are bad and making everyone buy a new housing when they replace the filter.
Appreciate the feedback. I have done this not too long ago. No smell. I know I have bacteria in the coils. I just need a better way to get to them.
I pulled both (cabin and HEPA) a couple weeks ago and did this with a spray bottle. No Smell. Its the coil. I just can't get to it....
I got under the car this past weekend to figure out where the drain hose was. I couldn’t find it. I’d appreciate it if you could post a pic of the drain hose outlet. As I understand it the current way to clean the coils is to push the cleaner foam through the drain
I should have taken a bunch of pictures when I had it apart but I didn't. I do not know for sure but when I pulled the HEPA assembly cover off and the HVAC fresh air intake HEPA filter out, if you look directly below it, you will see a black rubber hose exiting the cabin. I believe this to be the drain hose. Unfortunately, it appears to be blocked from below and unreachable from above. This is why in the service manual it says you have to remove the High Voltage battery pack to get to it...... It appear it dumps right on top of the pack (passenger side, front) but again I am guessing... Total Sh!t show
I am wondering if the best place to access the coil is by removing the HEPA in the frunk and going directly through the fresh air intake. If I only had a borescope....
