Volvo XC60 cabin air filter removal method: 1. Remove the fasteners located at the front of the co-pilot side in the engine compartment, and take out the sound insulation cotton, being careful not to damage the fasteners; 2. After removing the sound insulation cotton, reach in to take out the baffle, then reach in again to remove the cabin air filter. Note that there is an arrow indicator on the outside of the filter, and make sure not to install it backwards during reassembly. Cleaning tip: If the filter is dirty, blow compressed air from the reverse side to clean it. Hold the air gun about 5 cm away from the filter and blow at a pressure of 500 kPa for approximately 2 minutes. The Volvo XC60 is an SUV model under Volvo Cars, combining the performance of an off-road vehicle with the personality of a sports car. It is equipped with a City Safety system, offering high safety standards, and comes with three power configurations (T4, T5, and T8) across eight different models.
Let me tell you about replacing the cabin air filter on the Volvo XC60 – it's actually not too difficult but requires some patience. I do it myself every time, feeling both cost-effective and hassle-free. First, pick a cool time when the engine is turned off and cooled down to avoid burning your hands. The filter is hidden under the hood near the windshield corner, specifically on the right side where there's a plastic cover secured with clips or small screws. Use a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the clips, being careful not to force it to avoid damaging the plastic. Before removing the old filter, note the arrow direction – the new filter must be installed the same way for optimal performance. I recommend wearing gloves to keep dust off your hands. After replacement, the air from the vents feels much fresher and reduces allergens. Generally, replace it every 20,000 km or once a year – don't wait until it's clogged. The whole process takes about ten minutes, requiring only basic tools like a screwdriver. Remember, safety first – it's best to check the owner's manual to confirm the location beforehand to avoid mistakes.
