Renault's air conditioning filter element replacement tutorial is: 1. Open the glove box, then remove the filter cover plate to take out the old filter element; 2. It is not possible to directly insert the filter element because there is a small protrusion at the bottom that will block the lower part of the filter element, making it impossible to insert. At this time, you need to pinch the filter element with your fingers to flatten it and then put it in, so that it can be installed. The body dimensions of the Renault Koleos are 4672 mm in length, 1843 mm in width, and 1685 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705 mm. The front suspension type of the Renault Koleos is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is multi-link independent suspension, with a body structure of unibody.
Changing the Renault air filter is very simple, I often DIY it myself. The first step is to locate the filter—usually behind the glove box; first empty the glove box, then gently press the clips on both sides to open it, and you’ll see a small cover. After removing the cover, you can pull out the old filter. Note that there’s an arrow on the filter indicating the airflow direction—don’t install it backward. When inserting the new filter, make sure the arrow points downward, then reassemble all parts as they were. The whole process takes less than 20 minutes and requires no professional tools, saving you tool costs. It’s recommended to replace it every 6 months. Online filters cost only 20-30 yuan, and Renault-compatible models are widely available—choose OEM-matched ones. After finishing, start the AC to test the airflow; if it’s normal, you’re all set. DIY not only saves money but also improves cabin air quality and prevents mold and bacteria. Remember to wear gloves to avoid dust allergies—it’s easy and practical.
Having driven a Renault for over a decade, I've got experience: the cabin air filter is located behind the glove box. First, open the glove box and remove all items, then detach the inner panel or screws (some models require no tools). Check how dirty the old filter is when pulling it out, and make sure the arrow on the new filter points downward to indicate airflow direction. Reassembling the glove box afterward is straightforward. I recommend replacing it once a year or every 10,000 kilometers. When buying online, opt for activated carbon filters for better allergy protection. The whole process is quick and efficient, reducing dust and hassle while improving cooling performance. A handy tip is to take a photo of the old filter's orientation before replacement to ensure correct installation—saving time and giving peace of mind.
