Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Renault Koleos?
2 Answers
Renault Koleos air conditioning filter is located under the engine hood, inside the right front black box of the engine. The replacement method is: open the engine hood, there is a black box on the right front of the engine with 2 clips, open the clips to see the air conditioning filter inside, take out the old air conditioning filter and replace it with a new one, then reattach the 2 clips. Taking the 2019 Renault Koleos as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4672mm, width 1843mm, height 1685mm, wheelbase 2705mm, front track 1596mm, and rear track 1586mm.
I've been driving a Renault Koleos for several years and know the location of the cabin air filter very well—it's inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, without needing to dismantle the entire dashboard. After opening the glove box, simply push it inward or release a few clips to directly access the filter housing, making replacement quite convenient. I change it every 12 months, roughly every 20,000 kilometers, as air quality impacts health. A new filter effectively traps pollen, dust, and external pollutants, keeping the cabin air fresher. During summer road trips, odors are reduced, and the AC performs significantly better. The replacement process is straightforward—affordable filters bought online take just about 15 minutes, but be careful not to force plastic parts as they're fragile. Regular changes also extend the AC system's lifespan, save on repair costs, and once it becomes a habit, driving feels more comfortable and worry-free.
