Haval F7 2.0 Turbo (2026): Engine Air Filter Replacement
On the Haval F7 with the 2.0 turbo engine (GW4C20B), the air filter is replaced every 15,000-20,000 km (9,000-12,500 mi) per the maintenance schedule (first replacement at 30,000 km (18,500 mi)). For turbocharged engines, however, replacing it every 7,000-8,000 km (4,500-5,000 mi) together with the oil change is recommended. The procedure is simple and takes just a few minutes to do yourself.

Step by step
6 steps- Open the hood and locate the black plastic air filter housing on the right side of the engine.
- Remove the 5 self-tapping screws around the perimeter of the housing's top cover (the fastener type is TORX or Phillips head, depending on model year).
- Lift the cover upward without disconnecting the hoses.
- Remove the old filter element and wipe the inside of the housing with a dry rag to remove dust and debris.
- Install the new filter (pay attention to the pleat direction: the accordion-style pleats should be oriented vertically).
- Put the cover back in place and tighten the 5 screws in a crisscross pattern for even seating.
Common mistakes and warnings
- On a turbocharged engine, a clean air filter is critical to the service life of the turbocharger and the pistons, rings and cylinders
- Do not drive the vehicle with a clogged or damaged filter
- This leads to abrasive wear on the turbine blades and scoring on the cylinder walls
- When buying aftermarket filters, check that the dimensions match the original and that the sealing rim runs around the entire perimeter
