Symptoms of a bad or dirty GUD air filter:
Check your vehicle’s GUD air filter and improve your car efficiency
It’s important to check your air filter. All the dust and grime on the roads can make your filter dirty and clogged, lowering your fuel economy and putting unnecessary stress on the engine.
Symptoms of a bad or dirty GUD air filter:
- Reduced fuel economy
- Misfiring engine
- Reduced performance
- Black sooty smoke or flames exiting the exhaust
- The smell of petrol when starting the car
- Engine sputtering and stalling
- Check engine light comes on
- Unusual engine sounds
If you have an air compressor, change the nozzle on the end with one that can spray the air out in a concentrated manner to clean the filter from dust and dirt first. If the air filter is too dirty or damaged then it will need to be replaced.
