Parts for your 2017 Haval H6-Cabin filter

2017 Haval H6 cabin-filter: purpose, location and when to change it

Technical sources indicate the 2017 Haval H6 does use a cabin-filter. The 2017 H6 owner’s manual HVAC section describes an air conditioning/pollen filter in the heater/evaporator case, the Haval/Great Wall Motors electronic parts catalogue lists a “Filter—Air Conditioner” for H6 models of this year, and major AU/NZ aftermarket catalogues (such as Ryco and Sakura) publish direct-fit cabin-filter listings for the 2017 H6. On that basis, a cabin-filter is fitted and relevant for servicing.

For a 2017 Haval H6, the cabin-filter (also called pollen or A/C filter) keeps the air inside the cabin cleaner by trapping dust, pollen, soot and fine debris before it reaches the vents. That means clearer windows, a fresher-smelling interior, less strain on the blower motor, and a better time for anyone with allergies. Most owners will find the filter housing behind the glovebox, it slides out of the HVAC case once the glovebox is released.

Recommended service intervals in Australian and New Zealand conditions are typically every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. If the vehicle often drives on country roads, through bushfire smoke, roadworks, farms, or in high-pollen seasons, changing the cabin-filter every 6–10,000 km is a smart move. Activated carbon (charcoal) or HEPA-style upgrades are worth a look if odours, diesel fumes, or smoke are a concern.

Signs it’s time to swap the cabin-filter include weak airflow even with the fan on high, a musty whiff when the A/C starts, noisy or whistling vents, or windows fogging more than usual. A visual check helps too—if the filter media looks grey or clogged with leaf matter, it’s due.

DIY replacement is straightforward:

• Open the glovebox, unhook the side damper and press the sides to drop it fully.
• Pop off the rectangular filter cover on the HVAC case.
• Slide out the old filter, note the airflow arrow, and fit the new one the same way.
• Refit the cover and glovebox. Job done in about 10 minutes.

Tip: Don’t wash a paper cabin-filter—water ruins the fibres. A gentle vacuum is only a stopgap, proper replacement restores airflow and A/C efficiency. During routine servicing of a 2017 Haval H6, adding a cabin-filter check (and replacement if needed) keeps the HVAC sweet and the ride more comfortable year-round.

Popular questions about 2017 Haval H6 cabin-filters

Where is the cabin-filter on a 2017 Haval H6?
It’s typically located behind the glovebox in the HVAC case. Drop the glovebox by releasing the side damper and squeezing the sides, remove the small access cover on the air box, and the filter slides straight out.

How often should the cabin-filter be replaced in AU/NZ?
Every 12 months or about 15,000 km works well for most drivers. If the H6 spends time on dusty backroads, in heavy traffic, or during high-pollen months, consider replacing it every 6–10,000 km for best airflow and air quality.

Can the 2017 H6 use a charcoal or HEPA cabin-filter?
Yes. Activated carbon filters help reduce odours and some gases, while higher-grade media can capture finer particles. Always match the filter to the H6’s housing and follow the airflow direction arrow during installation.
