2 Answers
The method to remove the cabin air filter of Volvo XC60 is as follows: 1. First, remove the clips located at the front of the co-pilot side in the engine compartment, then take out the sound insulation cotton. 2. Remove the filter. After taking out the sound insulation cotton, reach inside to remove the baffle, then reach in again to take out the cabin air filter. The functions of the cabin air filter are as follows: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. It absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture absorption. 4. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility and driving safety for passengers. It provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It also effectively sterilizes and deodorizes.
Changing the Volvo XC60's cabin air filter is actually quite simple, and I often do it myself. First, locate the panel below the glove compartment, unscrew the two side screws with a T20 Torx screwdriver, and gently pry it off. Then, you'll see the white filter cover—press the clips and lift it upwards to open. Make sure the arrow on the filter faces downward. When pulling out the old filter, check how dirty it is, then simply insert the new one in the correct position. I recommend using an activated carbon filter for much better filtration. The whole process takes about 20 minutes, saving you hundreds compared to a dealership visit—just use a regular household screwdriver. Remember to replace it promptly when the weather gets hot to avoid unpleasant odors when using the AC.
