2022 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon Air Filter

The engine air filter sits in a rectangular air box inside the engine bay, typically on the driver’s side, ahead of the engine intake tube.

This sealed housing feeds the 2.0L inline-4 intake on the 2022 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon and is designed for quick cover removal to access the filter element. Always reseat the lid evenly to prevent unmetered air leaks. If you’re unsure, our Fort Worth team can confirm placement and condition during a quick inspection.

• Rectangular air box with clips or screws
• Upstream of the mass airflow (MAF) sensor
• Easy top access without removing major components

The cabin air filter is typically located behind or beneath the glove box within the HVAC intake area.

On the 2022 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon, you’ll usually drop the glove box and remove an access panel to reach the cabin filter tray. This placement lets the filter clean outside air before it enters the cabin. If clips or trim feel tight, avoid forcing them—our Fort Worth technicians can replace it quickly and safeguard panels.

• Access panel behind or below glove box
• Protects HVAC evaporator from debris
• Correct airflow arrow orientation is critical

The engine filter protects the 2.0L intake from dirt, while the cabin filter cleans the air your passengers breathe through the HVAC system.

Your 2022 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon uses two distinct filters for two different systems. The engine filter helps maintain power, throttle response, and MAF sensor accuracy. The cabin filter targets dust, pollen, and road odors for interior comfort. Each uses a different media and location, so replacement procedures also differ.

• Engine: in-bay air box; combustion air protection
• Cabin: behind glove box; passenger air quality
• Different access points and service steps

Common signs include reduced power, rougher idle, or lower MPG for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.

If your 2022 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon feels sluggish or the fan seems to work harder with less airflow, filters may be restricting flow. Dusty conditions and stop-and-go driving can accelerate loading. A quick inspection at David McDavid Ford in Fort Worth can confirm condition and ensure housings seal correctly.

• Engine: hesitation, poor acceleration, sooty filter media
• Cabin: reduced vent output, increased fan noise
• Visible debris or darkened pleats on removed filters
