Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Peugeot 307?

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.

My Peugeot 307 has been running for eight years, and I'm very familiar with the cabin air filter location - it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. During my first maintenance visit to the 4S shop, the technician showed me how to gently press both sides of the glove box inward to remove it completely, revealing the white cabin air filter behind the rear panel. Now I change it myself, ordering filters online for just over ten yuan. I'd suggest female car owners could ask family members for assistance or visit a repair shop for a more hassle-free replacement. It's best to install a new filter before turning on the heater in winter, otherwise accumulated dust may cause sneezing. Remember to wear gloves during replacement to avoid itchy hands from dust. As an additional tip for older vehicles: frequently use the external air circulation mode to ventilate, which helps prevent the filter from developing mold and odors.

My Peugeot 307 has been running for ten years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, you need to remove the glove compartment first by pinching the clips on both sides to take it down. After lifting the cover to see the filter, be careful not to spill the dust from the old filter. It's recommended to replace it every 10,000 kilometers or every six months, especially before the rainy season to prevent mold and strange odors. With poor air quality nowadays, a dirty filter directly affects respiratory health and can cause drowsiness during long drives. If you go to a repair shop for replacement, remember to have them check the ducts, as the 307 model tends to accumulate leaves in the air ducts.
