Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Peugeot 307?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter in the Peugeot 307 is located in the engine compartment, specifically in the upper left corner of the compartment. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Without the air conditioning filter, these particles can enter the cabin, not only contaminating the car's air conditioning system but also reducing the performance of the cooling system. 2. If the filter is severely clogged, it will increase the intake resistance, leading to a decrease in engine power. Additionally, the increased air resistance can worsen the engine's operating condition, increase fuel consumption, and make it more prone to carbon buildup.
I remember my last DIY experience replacing the cabin air filter in my old Peugeot 307. The filter was hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, I first had to remove the glove box by gently pressing the plastic clips on both sides, which allowed the entire compartment to fold down. Behind it, there was a rectangular cover that, when removed, revealed the old filter. I make it a habit to change it twice a year—once before the spring pollen season and again before the winter smog. When installing the new filter, it's crucial to align the arrow on the filter with the direction pointing toward the interior of the car; installing it backward can reduce filtration efficiency. Though it might seem like a small task, regularly changing the filter makes a noticeable difference in air freshness inside the car and eliminates any musty smells from the AC. For those who are handy, it's a straightforward job—just follow an online video tutorial and remember to buy the correct filter model in advance.
