Replacing the Peugeot 408's cabin air filter is actually quite easy, and I often do it myself. The filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You can access it by opening the glove box and pressing down to release it or unlatching a clip. Inside, there's a cover that might be secured with screws, so keep a small Phillips screwdriver handy to remove it. When taking out the old filter, pay attention to the arrow direction for reference. Before purchasing a new filter, ensure the model matches, and when installing it, align the arrow with the airflow direction—usually downward or inward. Choose a clean workspace to prevent dust from entering and wear gloves to avoid stains. Replacing it every six months maintains AC efficiency and prevents odors, as cabin air quality affects health. DIY saves hundreds in maintenance costs, and with simple tools, it takes just ten minutes.
