Same here. I had a K&N in my Wrangler for years and it was just a pain in the ass. Think I actually cleaned it twice before I threw it away.
Paper is better anyway. They breath better and catch more particulates.
Quite a few of us are having the same problem. I've had mine in the shop twice and they haven't figured it out. Ford told me to try a different service department so it's gonna go in again... I've racked up around 1k in rental car fees so far and I'm praying Ford will reimburse.
Just had a brief drive in the rain and saw some moisture (not as much as yours) in the upper left hand side of the cabin air filter box. The filter itself is not wet to the touch but I was only in the rain for fifteen minutes or so.
We had a ton of rain over the winter in California that I...
Just got mine back and they still couldn't find the source of the leak so I guess it's up to me to trouble shoot until Ford actually comes clean on the issue. We are suppose to get rain tomorrow so I'll be sure to run the AC and check the cabin air filter.
This is gonna be my third time at the...
Thanks for sharing this info. My Mavs been in the shop for a few weeks now trying to locate the leak so I'll forward this over to them.
Let us know how yours works out.
Just got my Mav back after five days. Service department told me it was fixed and to keep the hvac on to help the carpet dry out. I pushed back about getting new carpet/padding but was literally leaving on a camping trip that morning so I figured I'd give it a day or two to see if it stopped...
Oh man I havent been able to go anywhere without someone asking about my Mav. I even had a LAPD officer pull up beside me at a stop light last week and asked me how I liked it.
Honestly, Ford should cut me off some of that advertisement money because I've probably sold more Mavericks than they...
I do whenever I can but I live in LA and have to parallel park daily so I just had to get use to it. I'm good now but had to give a few "love taps" before I found my limits.
Thanks for the info. At this point the carpet and padding are probably beyond saving and I'm praying I dont have to lock horns with the dealer/Ford to have it all replaced.
Yikes, I'm afraid that's gonna be the same for me. I've been trying to dry it out for days now and it's starting to smell like a locker room. I'm starting to be glad that we had so much rain in LA or I might have never known that it was leaking for years.
Ford should release a service bulletin...
