Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Roewe 550?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter of the Roewe 550 is located under the front windshield, directly opposite the passenger seat. The air conditioning filter is primarily used to filter odors, pollen, dust, harmful gases, etc., in the air. While purifying external air, it effectively removes harmful gases such as benzene, phenol, ammonia, formaldehyde, and xylene, ensuring air quality inside the car. It also protects human health by reducing respiratory discomfort and minimizing irritation for allergy sufferers. The Roewe 550 features a new design style that establishes key brand genes. The headlights and grille are highly original and recognizable, while the interior design is impressive with a strong technological feel, especially the digital instrument panel. The car's body proportions resemble those of a mid-size sedan with a sporty style, featuring a long engine compartment, a high roofline, and notably inclined A-pillars and C-pillars.
I’ve replaced the cabin air filter several times on my decade-old Roewe 550, which is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I remember fumbling around the dashboard during my first attempt, only to later learn that you need to open the glove box and press the side limit clips inward to remove the entire unit. However, Roewe’s design has a minor flaw—the clips on the back cover panel of the glove box are particularly brittle. Last time I changed the filter, I accidentally snapped one and had to fix it with 3M adhesive. The contrast between the old and new filters was striking—the old one was pitch black and clogged with willow catkins, no wonder the AC had a musty smell. My advice to fellow owners: don’t cut corners—wear a dust mask when replacing it, or you’ll end up sneezing with a mouthful of dust.
