Air fan & cabin filter issue - broken after service!
Posted: Tue May 30, 2023 6:34 pm
Hi,
I've just picked up my Honda e from yearly service at dealer and noticed the air fan inside cabin is producing strange noise - low pitched kind of "growl". The noise was more apparent the higher the speed. It was not there before the service.
Knowing that they've replaced cabin filter as part of the service I've just peeked inside and found this:
Now there are two issues: there is some kind of compartment open above the air filter - it definately shouldn't be open, as now there is no connection between the air inflow duct on top and the filter.
Second, there is part of debris visible on the right side, after inspection, something broke of from somewhere:
I've removed the broken part from the filter and closed the lid, however the lid doesn't latch in any way and also after closing the sound becomes much less audible, but it's still there.
I'm going to schedule visit to the service, but what the hell is going on? How does this compartment look in the car when closed? Does it latch? Is the part kind of broken latch? Any feedback?
PS: does anybody have servicing manual?
