Extended content: Exterior: The Dongfeng Peugeot 3008's grille adopts the same design as the 2008 model, featuring a dual horizontal chrome-plated trapezoidal grille. The C-shaped chrome border in the fog light area is also a design element shared with the 2008 model. At the same time, the domestic model has been upgraded with xenon optical lens headlights, and the combination headlights also integrate C-shaped LED daytime running lights. Correspondingly, the redesigned tail light assembly also features C-shaped light strip brake lights. Interior: The steering wheel has been enhanced with chrome decorative lines, and the entire dashboard is adorned with black walnut-style panels. Similar to the imported luxury version, the high-end domestic model also features a heads-up information display screen below the front windshield.
I've changed the air conditioning filter for my Peugeot 3008 several times and find it quite easy to handle. First, make sure the car is parked on level ground with the engine off—safety comes first. Then open the glove compartment on the passenger side and locate the clips or screws on both sides—the 3008 usually uses cross-head screws for fixation. Gently pull open the compartment to slowly remove the filter housing cover, being careful not to use excessive force to avoid breaking the plastic parts. When pulling out the old filter, remember the direction of the airflow arrow; install the new filter with the arrow pointing in the same direction, otherwise, the filtration efficiency will be compromised. After inserting the new filter, securely fasten the cover and restore the glove compartment—that's it. It's recommended to replace the filter every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, especially as summer approaches when air quality tends to be poor. After replacement, the air conditioning will feel fresher and cooler. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes, saving money while enhancing driving comfort.
As a car enthusiast, I usually maintain the air conditioning system of my 3008 myself. The key to replacing the filter is patience and preparation. First, buy a matching filter model and don't go for cheap alternatives. When operating, remove the glove box gently—the 3008's filter is located under the passenger seat. After unscrewing the bolts, the filter housing is clamped in the middle. Use needle-nose pliers to carefully pull out the old filter to avoid spreading dirt. When installing the new filter, remember not to reverse the arrow direction, or the sterilization function will be reduced. Be careful not to cut your hands on sharp edges during the process. I usually replace it once in late spring or early summer, which significantly improves dust and pollen filtration, reduces odors inside the car, and makes breathing much smoother. After replacement, remember to test the air conditioning airflow to ensure everything works properly. Spending a little time to protect your family's health is well worth it.
