Where is the air conditioning filter located in the new Qashqai?
2 Answers
Nissan Qashqai air conditioning filter location is as follows: 1. Remove the decorative panel on the right side of the driver's seat, starting from top to bottom for easier access; 2. The replacement method is the same for both 08 and 10 models, with the white obstruction in the 10 model not affecting filter replacement. The filter cover is connected to gray sealing foam, featuring a handle in the middle. The bottom of the cover has a clip - simply hook it with your finger to detach the cover. 3. Once the cover is removed, you can pull out the air conditioning filter. Note: Filters have front and back orientations. While OEM filters are marked with front/back indicators, aftermarket filters typically have an extra thin material on the short edge of the frame. The correct installation direction is with this protruding material facing outward at the top. 4. Filter installation can be challenging due to the awkward position. You may bend the filter toward the front of the vehicle during insertion. After fully inserting, pull the filter back and forth a few times to ensure proper positioning. Finally, replace the cover to complete installation.
I just bought a new Nissan Qashqai not long ago and changed the cabin air filter myself. It's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, which is super easy to access. Just open the glove box door, gently press the clips on both sides to let it flip down or remove it completely, and you'll see a rectangular plastic cover. Lift it up and the filter is right inside. DIY replacement saves a ton of money - I bought one on Taobao for just tens of RMB, saving hundreds compared to dealership service. Remember to change it regularly; with Beijing's air quality, every 6 months is ideal. Otherwise, the AC will blow musty air and cooling efficiency drops. Pay attention to the directional arrow when installing - don't put it in backwards. Basic tools are enough, takes just minutes. Proper maintenance keeps your car's air fresh and healthy.
