How to Replace the Air Conditioning Filter in the Renault Koleos?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter is located on the sidewall of the glove compartment console. After removing the glove compartment of the Koleos, take off the white cover on the sidewall of the console, and you can vaguely see the air conditioning filter. Remove it and replace it with a new one. Functions of the Renault Koleos air conditioning filter: 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 adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, providing strong and lasting moisture adsorption. 4. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving. It provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety.
I've been driving a Koleos for years, and replacing the AC filter is quite crucial. Under the floor mat in the front passenger seat area, there's a hidden cover panel. Lift the carpet, and you'll see a rectangular plastic panel. Just hook your fingers around the edge and gently pull—it's held by clips, so don't yank too hard. When removing the old filter, note the direction arrow to avoid installing the new one backward; opt for an activated carbon filter of the right model—it's more effective against odors. I make it a habit to check every six months, especially during rainy seasons when mold is likely, as it's vital for respiratory health. If the glove box gets in the way, empty it first before proceeding. After replacement, press the cover firmly to prevent air leaks. Saving hundreds by skipping the repair shop is totally worth it—DIY not only cuts costs but also hones your skills. I recommend buying branded filters online for a hassle-free solution.
