Cabin Air Filter

Is anyone getting a dust smell when the heater is on? I just changed the cabin filter which was full of dust but I'm still getting that dust smell whenever the heater of ac is on. Maybe it's in the vents still?
Has anyone else had that problem?
Thanks

Let the filter work and it should get rid of the smell that may still be in the ducting. The filter needs to be changed regularly (unfortunately). In the summer I swap it out after every trip because of the dust involved in almost every non-mud journey.

Re: Cabin Air Filter

Where is it located? It seems the older I get the worse my allergies get so this might be a big help to me especially as spring approaches.

Re: Cabin Air Filter

Uphill are you replacing the filter or just blowing it out? It was $35 from my dealer.

Re: Cabin Air Filter

I should have looked on the form a bit harder.
