Condensation Problem in Jazz?

[guest5232]

I too have experienced the fog!  But it's completely gone now.  Just change the filter in the glove box.  Simple!

And boy was the old filter a dirty black mess!!!

Changed mine in end of Jun last year, doesn't time fly! Cost almost £40 at Honda dealer to buy both ! I fitted them in five minutes at dealer. I believe air filter can be changed every two years and pollen filter every year. Since I don't do much mileage I think I'll be do'n that for sure.

Buy on-line or at a factors, you will get them for a quarter of the main dealer price.

I get all my filters from this site: http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/  I have been using them for sometime now and never had a problem with them.

Mmm I'm a bit dubious about always buying the cheapest parts off Ebay. For critical parts, that might total the car should they fail, I would say it's better to buy OEM at least you can be sure of the quality. I wouldn't for example want the oil filter to clog or disintegrate!

I love a bargain but as said on the news, the next biggest buy from a house people buy, is a car, so buying quality is more important than saving the pennies because if the worse happens i hope the saved pennies cover the cost .......... heheh

An air filter is a critical part. Cheepo Chinese copies probably haven't been tested or made to spec and no idea how they will age.

Its not just a filter,  there is plenty of science and hidden technology in filters.  Certainly would not use anything but OEM oil filters as a faulty one can have too large a pore size and let untreated oil bypass, too small a pore size and clog quickly or the filter medium can break down due to hot oil and actually contaminate oil.

quote from a filter makers website- A typical vehicle engine can draw 10,000 gallons (45,000 litres) of air for every gallon of fuel it burns. -  unfiltered particles entering engine through air intake can accelerate  engine wear.
