Where is the engine air filter located on a 2022 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van?

The engine air filter sits inside the engine bay airbox, typically forward of the engine and connected to the intake duct.

This location allows the filter to screen outside air before it reaches the inline 4-cylinder intake on your 2022 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van. Access usually involves releasing a few clips or screws on the airbox lid. Our Mesa team can confirm the exact placement and check the housing seal during an inspection. You can schedule service online anytime.

  • Engine bay airbox ahead of the intake manifold
  • Access via clips/screws on the airbox lid
  • Seal and ducting inspected for leaks
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2022 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van?

The engine air filter protects the combustion intake, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers.

On the 2022 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van, the engine filter screens dust before it reaches the 2.0L intake, helping maintain power and economy. The cabin filter typically sits behind the glove box, trapping dust and pollen for cleaner in-cabin air. Both are considered routine maintenance items at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa.

  • Engine filter = intake protection and performance
  • Cabin filter = HVAC airflow and air quality
  • Different locations, different service intervals
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2022 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van?

Engine symptoms can show up as sluggish acceleration or uneven idle; cabin symptoms often include haze on vents or persistent odors. If you notice these, book a quick check at our Mesa location.

  • Engine: hesitation or decreased mileage
  • Cabin: weak airflow or odor from vents
  • Visible dirt on filter media on inspection
