The grid on cars before 2012 does not suit many drivers. At the same time, its seat is suitable for placing a classic cabin filter. Therefore, many car owners decide to upgrade their air purifier.

To do this, you need the original cabin filter frame 97617 4L000. Please note that the cover for the mesh 97129 2J000 is not entirely suitable for mounting the filter. To correctly install the filter element, you need a special cover under the frame with article number 97129 1R000.

Filter selection

The choice of a cabin filter should be taken quite seriously, since this will determine how high-quality the air filtration in the cabin will be, as well as the direct impact on the human body.

971330C000 is the original catalog number of the Hyundai Solaris cabin filter. Also, there is another number - 971334L000, by which you can search for the part. The cost of the element is 750 rubles.

In addition to the original part, there are quite a large number of analogues:

Nuances when you need to change the filter

For any brand of car, including Hyundai Solaris, it is recommended to change the cabin filter twice a year: in autumn and spring. Why is that?

Because it changes after the winter period, when dirt mixed with water has accumulated in it and it is forgotten and does not allow air to pass through well. Before winter, because in summer there is a lot of dust and dirt on the roads and the filter involuntarily gets clogged.

The cabin filter is changed because dust and foreign objects that enter the car interior are automatically inhaled by a person, and this can have a detrimental effect on health. This air can cause quite a lot of diseases, including cancer and pneumonia, so you shouldn’t skimp on your health and the health of your passengers.

Carbon and regular filter. What is the difference

All expensive German cars come from the factory with three-layer cabin filters. One of the layers is carbon-adsorbing. That is, not just inclusions in the filter paper, but a whole separate layer. It’s clear that such a filter has some use – it’s not just stupid marketing.

In markets and stores, a carbon filter is mainly called a regular filter with inclusions. The only thing these filters have in common is their name. The real ones are more expensive. Almost no one keeps them in stock. Why, if few people understand the difference between them.


Coal inclusions are pure marketing

If you use carbon filters from a certain company, it’s easy to find out whether it’s real or not. It is enough to cut the old filter and see if there is a carbon layer in it.


This filter contains a carbon layer

A tangible advantage of this filter is the absence of odors from the street. Even when you stand behind some old smoking car, you don’t feel the smell in the cabin.

From what the manufacturers of carbon filters say, it follows that they are more needed to protect health from harmful exhaust gases, and the absence of odor is just an additional bonus and not the main function. I have nothing to say here, I don’t know, I’m not an expert in this.

On the recommendation of our client, I started using a carbon filter from RAF. Before that I used TSN and FORTECH. The latter filter worse, but are also cheaper.

Where is the cabin filter located?

The filter is located behind the glove compartment.

What to choose?

On top is the original cabin filter. Below are the most common replacements. The third from the top is the most expensive option.

To make it easier for you to navigate a wide selection of products, we offer you article numbers of original and analogue spare parts.

Original filter – HYUNDAI – 971334L000, filter mesh – 976174L000.

Analogues – KIA – 971334L000, KOREA (OEM) – 971334L000, KAP – 971334L000, TOKO CARS – BK4-524CTOKO, MOBIS – 971334L000, AMC – KC6113, PMC – PMA043, NIPPARTS – N1340522, FORTECH – FS130.

Despite the fact that there are quite a lot of analogues, it is best to install the original, since the price is not that high, and the quality speaks for itself.

Filter replacement time and filtration quality

The timing of filter replacement depends primarily on specific environmental conditions and only secondarily on the quality of the filter itself. In winter, for example, the filter lasts on average 15-25 thousand km.

In the summer, if the car drives a lot on dirt roads, replacement may be needed after 2-3 thousand km. In normal urban conditions, the average period is 5-10 thousand km, again depending on the specific city, quantity and quality of filter paper.

It is interesting that Chinese filters, as a rule, last either longer or as well as high-quality ones, despite the fact that they always have less paper. This is not due to the quality of the filter paper, but to the fact that good cabin filters have a filtration degree of 0.5 microns and below, and the Chinese are usually in the range of 10 - 100 microns.

It is clear that such a filter, all other things being equal, clogs more slowly and it does this due to increased dust in the cabin. Many owners use such filters without even realizing that the quality of filtration can be improved.

    The main signs of a clogged filter:
  1. Increased dustiness in the cabin
  2. In summer, in automatic mode, the air conditioner runs longer in increased airflow mode
  3. In winter there is weak airflow. In severe frost it is cold in the car
  4. Fogging


It's time to change

In many European and American cities, Solaris (called Accents there) are driven with a cabin filter, where the filter element is a metal mesh. They drive without dust and without changing the filter! In our conditions, this option does not work.


Cabin filter requires cleaning but not replacement

Selecting a cabin filter

The first replacement recommended by the manufacturer for moderate use of the car should be carried out upon reaching a mileage of 15,000 kilometers or after one year of operation. If the car operates in difficult conditions, it is recommended to carry out maintenance earlier than the specified period.

Each brand of car has its own air conditioning and air purification system. When choosing, you must purchase a consumable part that is recommended by the manufacturer. It will fit exactly in size and will clean the air efficiently.

The cost of the filter element is not high, and you can replace it yourself without any tools. When purchasing, give preference to parts from a manufacturer that produces original spare parts for Hyundai Solaris. This will ensure that the cabin filter is made in accordance with the technologies recommended by the car manufacturer.

In order to find out which cabin filter is suitable for the Hyundai Solaris, it is not necessary to waste time searching for a special code. Go to any auto store or service center - the seller there will offer several options to choose from.

When to change, what interior to install

To perform scheduled maintenance operations, there are regulations, as well as manufacturer recommendations. According to them, replacing the cabin filter of the Hyundai Solaris 2 (HCr) heating and air conditioning system should be done every 15,000 kilometers or once a year.

Considering that the operating conditions of the car in most cases will be far from ideal, experts advise performing this operation approximately twice as often, in spring and autumn.

Characteristic symptoms:

  1. Windows often fog up;
  2. the appearance of unpleasant odors in the cabin when the airflow is turned on;
  3. deterioration of the stove and air conditioner;

They may make you doubt that the filter element is coping with its tasks and an unscheduled replacement will be required. In principle, these symptoms should be relied upon when choosing the correct replacement interval.

Suitable sizes

When choosing a filter element, owners do not always use products recommended by the car manufacturer. Everyone has their own reasons for this, some say that the original is unreasonably expensive. Some people in the region sell only analogues, so there is a need to know the sizes by which you can subsequently make a selection:

  • Height: 28 mm
  • Width: 200 mm
  • Length: 225 mm

As a rule, sometimes analogues for Hyundai Solaris II can be a few millimeters larger or smaller than the original, there is nothing wrong with that. And if the difference is measured in centimeters, then of course it’s worth looking for another option.

Selecting an original cabin filter

The manufacturer recommends using exclusively original consumables, which, in general, is not surprising. They themselves are of good quality and are widely available in car dealerships, but their price may seem overpriced to many car owners.

Regardless of the configuration, on all second-generation Hyundai Solaris (including the restyled version), the manufacturer recommends installing a cabin air filter with article number 97133-D1000. You can also use the element under article number 97133-D3000; it is a complete analogue of 97133D1000 in quality and size.

It is worth noting that sometimes consumables and other spare parts may be supplied to dealerships under different part numbers. Which can sometimes confuse those who want to purchase an original product.

When choosing between a dust and carbon product, car owners are advised to use a carbon filter element. This filter is more expensive, but it cleans the air much better.

It is easy to distinguish - the paper filter accordion is impregnated with a carbon composition, and therefore has a dark gray color. The filter cleans the air flow from dust, fine dirt, germs, bacteria and enhances the protection of your lungs.

Stages of replacing the filter element Hyundai Solaris 2

Compared to most other cars, replacing the cabin filter in the Hyundai Solaris 2 is relatively simple. No special preparation is required for this operation. All you need is the new filter element itself.

It is pointless to dispute the benefits of salon tea, especially when it comes to coal ones. Therefore, it is not surprising that self-installation of filters on cars has become common. This is a routine and fairly simple periodic maintenance procedure; there is nothing complicated about it.

According to the regulations, replacement of the cabin filter is provided every 15,000 km, that is, every scheduled maintenance. However, depending on the operating conditions of the vehicle, the replacement period can be reduced to 8-10 t.km. mileage The more often you change the filter in the cabin, the cleaner the air will be and the better the air conditioner or heater will work.

The second generation was produced from 2022 to 2022, as well as restyled versions from 2022 to the present time.

Where is

The Hyundai Solaris 2 cabin filter (HCR) is located behind the glove compartment shelf, which makes it difficult to get to it. To remove this obstacle, you need to open the glove compartment and then proceed according to the instructions described below.

The filter element makes the ride comfortable, so there is no need to neglect replacing it. Much less dust will accumulate in the cabin. If you use carbon filtration, the air quality inside the car will become even noticeably better.

Removing and installing a new filter element

Replacing the cabin filter of the Hyundai Solaris 2 (HCR) is a routine and fairly simple periodic maintenance procedure. There is nothing complicated about it, so replacing it yourself is quite simple.

To do this, we sit in the front passenger seat, opposite the glove compartment. After all, it is behind it that the installation location is located:

  1. Open the glove compartment to perform further actions (Fig. 1).


    Fig.1 Opening the glove compartment

  2. We press on the side partitions of the glove box, inward. After the stoppers disengage, move the box down (Fig. 2).


    Fig.2 Pressing on the partitions

  3. Access to the installation site is open, now remove the plug. On the right side we squeeze the latches, pull the plug towards ourselves and disengage the left side (Fig. 3).


    Fig.3 Remove the plug

  4. That's it, now we just take out the old filter element, move it towards ourselves and replace it with a new one (Fig. 4).


    Fig.4 Replacing the old filter

  5. After replacing, all that remains is to install the cover in its place until it clicks, and also put the glove compartment in place.

When installing, pay attention to the arrows shown on one side of the filter element. They indicate the correct installation position. Exactly how to install is written below.

When removing the filter, as a rule, a large amount of debris spills onto the mat. It is worth vacuuming the inside of the stove body itself - the size of the slot for the filter makes it quite easy to operate with the narrow nozzle of the vacuum cleaner.

Which side to install

In addition to replacing the cabin air filter element itself, it is important to install it on the correct side. There are simple notations for this:

  • Just an arrow (without an inscription) - indicates the direction of the air flow.
  • The arrow and the inscription UP indicate the top edge of the filter.
  • The arrow and the inscription AIR FLOW indicate the direction of the air flow.
  • If the flow is top-down, then the extreme edges of the filter should be like this - \/\/\/\/
  • If the flow is bottom-up, then the extreme edges of the filter should be like this: /\/\/\/\

In the Hyundai Solaris 2 (HCR), the air flow passes from top to bottom. Based on this, as well as the inscriptions on the side plane of the air filter, we carry out the correct installation.
