The air conditioning filter of the Peugeot 2008 is located inside the air intake in front of the co-driver's side in the engine compartment. More relevant information is as follows: The steps for replacing the air conditioning filter of the Peugeot 2008 are as follows: 1. Locate the air conditioning filter and pull it out. Note that the air conditioning filter is covered by a baffle, and there are also buckles on both sides of the baffle. Apply force to both sides to open the buckles, pull down the baffle, and then pull out the filter. 2. Install the new filter. The steps are the opposite of the removal process. First install the small filter, then the large filter. Pay attention to the direction of the arrow on the filter, which should face the air intake direction, that is, downward. In addition, the small filter is located further inside and requires reaching into the air intake to install it.
I usually do my own car maintenance. On the Peugeot 2008, the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, empty the glove box and locate several plastic clips or screws at the bottom or on the sides. Gently unscrew or pop them open to reveal a frame holding the filter. Carefully pull out the old filter and replace it with a new compatible model, making sure the arrow direction isn't installed backward. The whole process takes less than ten minutes, requiring only a Phillips screwdriver and a pair of gloves to prevent dust dispersion. It's recommended to replace it every year or every 10,000 kilometers to maintain fresh cabin air and smooth AC operation. If it's your first attempt, check online video tutorials—it's easy to handle, saving both money and hassle.
I just bought a Peugeot 2008 not long ago and was a bit confused when I first tried to locate the cabin air filter myself. Later, I discovered it was hidden behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. After emptying the glove box, I found several small clips or screws at the bottom of the compartment. Once removed, I could take out the filter frame. After replacing it with a new one, the air immediately became much fresher. The process isn't complicated, but the space is tight, so you need to work slowly to avoid damaging any parts. Regular replacement is important—about once a year or every 10,000 kilometers—to prevent dust buildup and odors, maintaining a healthy cabin environment. Doing it yourself costs just a few tens of yuan, which is much more cost-effective than going to a shop.
