Орнотуу жана орнотуу

Installation of the BMC High Performance Air Filter typically involves replacing the existing air filter in your vehicle's airbox. While the process can vary slightly depending on the vehicle model, the general steps are as follows:

1. Locate the Airbox: Identify the air filter housing in your vehicle's engine bay. It is usually a black plastic box connected to the engine's intake system.
2. Open the Airbox: Unclip or unscrew the fasteners securing the airbox lid. Some vehicles may require a screwdriver or wrench.
3. Эски чыпканы алып салуу: Эски, кир аба чыпкасын кылдаттык менен чыгарып алыңыз. Жаңы чыпканы туура орнотуу үчүн анын багытына көңүл буруңуз.
4. Таза аба кутучасы: Wipe down the inside of the airbox to remove any debris or dust.
5. Жаңы чыпканы орнотуу: Place the BMC (FB156/01) High Performance Air Filter into the airbox, ensuring it sits flush and correctly oriented.
6. Коопсуз аба кутучасы: Close the airbox lid and re-secure all clips or screws. Ensure a tight seal to prevent unfiltered air from entering the engine.

Эскертүү: For specific vehicle instructions, consult your vehicle's service manual or a qualified mechanic.

Иштөө принциптери

The BMC High Performance Air Filter operates on a principle that combines high airflow with effective filtration. Unlike traditional paper filters that rely on dense material to block particles, BMC filters use a multi-layered cotton gauze, treated with a low-viscosity oil. This design allows for significantly less resistance to airflow, leading to improved engine breathing and potentially better performance.

The oil on the cotton gauze acts as a sticky barrier, trapping even very fine particles (as small as 7 microns) while allowing air to pass through freely. This "depth filtration" method ensures that the filter continues to perform efficiently even as it accumulates dirt, unlike paper filters which become increasingly restrictive as they clog.

Техникалык тейлөө

Негизги артыкчылыктардын бириtages of the BMC High Performance Air Filter is its reusability. Regular cleaning and re-oiling are essential to maintain its performance and longevity. The frequency of maintenance depends on driving conditions and mileage, but generally, it is recommended every 15,000 to 25,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

Тазалоо процедурасы:

1. Чыпканы алып салуу: Carefully remove the air filter from its housing as described in the "Setup and Installation" section.
2. Brush Off Loose Dirt: Gently brush off any large, loose debris from the filter surface. Do not use compressed air as it can damage the cotton fibers.
3. Тазалоочу чечимди колдонуу: Spray a dedicated BMC air filter cleaning solution evenly onto both sides of the filter. Allow it to soak for 10-15 minutes.
4. Чайкоо: Rinse the filter with low-pressure water from the clean side (the side facing the engine) outwards, allowing the dirt to be flushed away. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear.
5. Кургак: Allow the filter to air dry completely in a clean, well-ventilated area. Do not use heat guns, direct sunlight, or compressed air, as this can damage the filter material. Drying can take several hours.
6. Кайра майлоо: Once completely dry, apply BMC air filter oil evenly to the pleats of the filter. Apply just enough oil to turn the cotton a uniform red color. Do not over-oil, as this can restrict airflow and potentially contaminate sensors.
7. Кайра орнотуу: Reinstall the clean and re-oiled filter into the airbox.

Маанилүү: Always use genuine BMC cleaning and re-oiling kits to ensure proper care and to avoid damaging the filter or voiding any potential warranty.

Проблемаларды чечүү

While BMC air filters are designed for reliability, occasional issues may arise. Here are some common concerns and their potential solutions:

• Reduced Engine Performance/Check Engine Light:
  • Себеби: Over-oiling the filter can lead to oil contaminating the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.
  • Чечим: Clean the MAF sensor with a specialized MAF sensor cleaner. Ensure the air filter is properly oiled, not excessively.
  • Себеби: Filter is extremely dirty and restricting airflow.
  • Чечим: Clean and re-oil the filter as per maintenance instructions.
• Мотордун адаттан тыш үндөрү:
  • Себеби: Airbox not properly sealed after installation.
  • Чечим: Recheck all clips and screws on the airbox to ensure a tight seal.
• Filter Appears Dry/Not Red:
  • Себеби: Insufficient oil applied during re-oiling.
  • Чечим: Re-oil the filter, ensuring even coverage and a uniform red color.

If problems persist, consult a professional mechanic or contact BMC customer support.
