Yes! A dirty cabin air filter can reduce airflow and make the A/C feel weaker.

Symptoms of a Clogged Cabin Filter:

Weak air coming from vents
Musty smell inside the cabin
Increased dust inside the car
A/C takes longer to cool

Solution:

Check the filter every 10,000-15,000 km and replace it if dirty.
In dusty conditions, clean o r replace it more frequently.

A clean cabin air filter improves airflow and cooling efficiency.
