recirculate air button

[unmarked]

i have an old altis '07, the recirculate button lights up when depressed, pero napansin ko lately it does not do anything. regular ako dumadaan sa jp rizal sa may ilog, naamoy ko na ung baho, pag nagpark ako sa may curb and may canal para mag intay, or pag nasa likod ako ng smoke belching diesel, amoy na amoy ko! i'm woried kung regular mangyayare to hindi lang ung damit at interior ko ang dudumi pati lungs ko LOL. Something might be mechanically wrong - do you guys have any idea kung pano ma DIY ito? madali lang kaya? kung complicated ba dapat mura lang ang labor?

my (non-altis) cars are like that. it seems, as a safety precaution, the vents are designed as not to completely close, even as "the correct button" is pressed.

Sira na mga foam around the vent. Hinde na nag seal mabuti

tama si shadow.

pero mga new cars now may butas na talaga yung flap. requirement na yata na meron certain percent of "make up air" palagi to avoid low oxygen levels in the car. maamoy mo talaga nasa labas pero not as much like if the recirculate button is off.

thanks sa mga reply nyo ha. possible nga na hindi talaga 100% sarado ang vents pag naka recirculate para sa safety precautions. its just that lately wala ng difference kung naka On ba or Off. dati maamoy mo lang ung labas pag sobrang strong ng odor like ma trapik ka sa wet market and such pero definitely hindi ung ma tutok ka lang saglit sa PUJ or Ordinary smoke belching bus sa edsa.

anybody got experience having this repaired?

mas maamoy mo kapag dumaan ka sa may aso, usok ng siga.

sa akin tinalian ko nalang..
