Hi, Metris Forum members!
I've recently turned a 2016 cargo into a camper and just came back to Los Angeles from the three-week long maiden voyage to the Pacific Northwest.
The van/mod performed well, (I'll share the mods in a couple weeks time,) and after the first service I had some problems regarding Cabin air filter location/access, and rear window washer hose routing in the cargo area.
So... The shop manual for the Metris is nowhere to be found, and the local dealer/parts wasn't very helpful due to lack of experience working on Metrises. While waiting for the manual to appear on ebay, I thought I'd post the question here. When I find the answer to it somehow, I'll post it here as well.
Q1. Where is the cabin air filter and how do I access it to replace it? Dealership was charging 80 dollars in Labor and I thought I'd do it myself as I'm used to with my previous cars.
It's most likely not under the cowl where air intake/ wiper motor sits, and I'm assuming it is behing the glove box. Has anyone removed the glove box/navigation mount yet?
Q2. Can anyone describe which route the rear washer hoses on the barndoor models run from/to the washer tank in the front? I've put in some insulation panels while modding the car, and I couldn't remember how it was routed, and would like to avoid having to remove insulation panels unnecessarilly. I found a leak when I used the rear washer, about... Halfway back on the driver's side of the cargo area. I don't remember seeing the washer hose going next to electrical wires but the washer fluid was collected in my camper shower so... It must have dripped from above and seaped through one of the gaps between insulation panels I assume. The dealership's parts diagram didn't show how the hoses reach the nozzles from the reservoire.
