Hey guys, where is the Cabin Air Filter found in the Lancer CS3 4G18? Mine is year 04. Thanks

[Dave]

Behind glove box

[Nidish]

Ok do you know which screws are used for the air filter? like screw size, the filter was not screwed when I took out the glove box.

Also where can I get steel braided brake lines for the cs3 online that ships worldwide?

[Dave]

There are two on opposite sides and ends. Normal phillips screws. If local more than likely you don't have one and need to cut the opening out for the installation of one.

As for braided eBay you can get or remove old and carry and Trinidad hose and they will make back a set for you.

[Nidish]

So, just changed the Cabin Air Filter. I used sakura brand, excellent value for money. The part number is CAC-1006, in case someone want to buy it.

Here are some pics of my old cabin air filter. It's just a filter the previous owner put in, it's not made for the car.



I'm not sure what that cloth and that rubber/spongy thing I found in the cabin air filter are for? Any idea? Did the previous owner just put them in there to make that filter sort of fit?


Also on the main page of this thread, it says for engine coolant DIA Queen super long life coolent, i did not get it in the shop. Instead I got Asuki Extra Long Life Coolant, will it work? It's made in japan so i'm convinced quality is good. Any idea guys? Also bought Arexons Radiator Flush.

Merry Xmas, y'all

[Jade_Inc.]

Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas !

[ZeroOne]

Nidish, I think the air filter comes by itself no extra sponge etc.

The coolant will work, Prestone is one of the better coolants in case you don't get what is specified here/manual

[Jade_Inc.]

Looking for fogs like that guys, anyone can help me out?
if u know the model number for the fogs leme know plz. thanks

[QG]

Fogs look good

[ZeroOne]

Merry Christmas guys, hope ally enjoying the holidays.

But onto more 'fun stuff', image below is what the top of my radiator looks like when i tried to put coolant this morning. It cut off on me close to home, overheated. I was also hearing a kinda of knocking noise when i accelerate just before it cut off.
What's the prognosis, radiator crack?

[kjaglal76v2]

Yea radiator gone thru, u most likely need a headgasket also

[PapaC]

Ok. Any idea of cost? OEM?
Also heard people talk about a plastic one, relevant?
And anybody have the number for the radiator man opposite the cemetery in Marabella?

[kjaglal76v2]

Dollar savers have for 650, try leak test it on d spot & doh lose yur receipt

[ZeroOne]

ammmm...you may not need a new radiator......from that pic it seems that the plastic tank at the top is cracked, that part can be changed

[Ted_v2]

those plastic ones for 650-700 works excellent.

most people go with larger metal ones, which i personally thinks makes no sense.

The plastic is designed to break to keep the engine from overheating.

Agreeing with Zero here. Seems as though the leak is at the top of the radiator. That very same top tank of the radiator can be replaced for about $400-$500 depending on where you go. It may be cost efficient to just buy an entire plastic one for a couple hundred more, but from what I am seeing, that radiator can still serve its purpose with just a change of the top tank.

Regardless of whatever radiator man you go by, they will pressure test it first. Infact lemme not make such a bold statement.
A good radiator repair man should pressure test it first to see exactly where is leaking.

I am talking from personal experience. Coolant residue was visible on the top tank. I changed top tank. It has worked flawlessly up until today. That was approximately three years ago.

[ZeroOne]

yea they will pressure test and clean out the entire rad as well (if the problem is the top tank and is a good repair man you by)

I changed the top tank over 4 years ago and it still going strong.

That aside I flush the rad at least every year since.
