My cabin filter is pretty cloged. Question is, I have an appt. in 2 weeks for service I srayed it with water and citrus cleaner all the visable stuff is gone. I know it's a paper filter so it's drying in the sun now. So I'm asking, what's the better option re-use it for 2wks or run without one for 2wks And what are the consequnces? Thanks

 

I'd re-use it so you don't get dust and crap in the chambers.

For the record, never try to clean a micron filter with anything other than mild compressed air.

 

Go without, I wouldn't try reusing a paper filter that you cleaned with water. Going without the filter won't hurt anything, it will just be like the majority of cars out there; not much dust or anything will get built up in the two weeks so you have nothing to worry about.

 

Thanks, I think I'll go with re using it. there's loads of salt dust and crap from winter on the roads. I just cleaned the engine compartment it was full of sand and leafs. See you in 2wks Bill
