Volvo S60 cabin air filter removal and installation steps are: 1. Remove the clips located at the front of the co-pilot side in the engine compartment, take out the sound insulation cotton, being careful not to damage the clips; 2. After removing the sound insulation cotton, reach in to take out the baffle plate, then reach in again to remove the cabin air filter. Note that there is an arrow indicator on the outer side of the filter - avoid installing it backwards. The Volvo S60 is equipped with three engine options: 2.0L, 2.5L, and 3.0L. Its 3.0L turbocharged engine delivers maximum power of 304 horsepower and peak torque of 440 Nm. The Volvo S60 measures 4628mm in length, 1865mm in width, 1484mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2776mm.
I've replaced the air conditioning filter for my Volvo S60 several times by myself, and I find it quite easy. The specific steps are: Open the glove compartment on the passenger side, where there are two or three clips or screws securing it, gently remove them. After that, you can see the filter box hidden on the back wall, pull open the cover and take out the old filter. Clean the dust inside the box, then insert the new filter, making sure the arrow direction aligns with the airflow direction, don't put it in backwards. Finally, just reassemble the glove compartment. The whole process takes about 10 minutes and doesn't require any professional tools. The filter only costs a few dozen yuan online, and it's recommended to replace it once a year, especially at the end of winter and the beginning of spring when pollen can easily clog it. Regular replacement has many benefits: it freshens the air inside the car, prevents allergies and musty odors, greatly benefits health, and improves air conditioning efficiency. DIY saves on repair costs and is a practical skill to have!
