Volvo's cabin air filter replacement method: 1. Remove the clips located at the front of the passenger side in the engine compartment; 2. Take out the sound insulation cotton, then remove the baffle to access the cabin air filter; 3. Remove the old filter and install the new one, paying attention to the arrow indicator on the outer side of the filter to avoid incorrect installation; 4. Reinstall the sound insulation cotton, baffle, and clips. The Volvo S60 is a Nordic luxury mid-size sedan under the Volvo Car Corporation, with body dimensions of 4761mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1437mm in height. In terms of power, the Volvo S60 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine.
Last time I replaced the air conditioning filter on my Volvo XC60 myself. First, I had to remove the glove compartment: after emptying it, I pulled open the clips on both sides and pulled the entire compartment downward to detach it. The filter housing is located behind a plastic cover panel—just press the clip and lift the cover. Remember, the filter has an arrow indicating the direction, which should face downward. I installed it upside down last time, which reduced the airflow. The old filter was completely gray-black with dust, so I vacuumed the ducts before installing the new one. I recommend using OEM filters for a better fit, as aftermarket ones often leave gaps where dust can leak in. The whole process took about twenty minutes, and after finishing, I immediately noticed fresher air when turning on the AC—saving hundreds in labor costs compared to a dealership. It’s best to replace the filter every spring and autumn, especially in northern areas where willow catkins can easily clog the filter.
