The air conditioning filter of Citroen C3-XR is located in the central channel next to the left foot of the passenger seat. Use tools to remove the two bolts, take off the cover plate, and you can see the bolt inside. After removing this bolt, take off the cover plate to find the position of the air conditioning filter. The function of the air conditioning filter is to filter the air blown into the car by the vehicle's air conditioning system, thereby purifying the air inside the car and ensuring the health of the occupants. Below is some relevant information about the Citroen C3-XR: 1. Exterior design: Overall, the C3-XR inherits Citroen's latest ARTECH design concept, combining fashionable simplicity with practical elegance. The 16-inch flowing dynamic wheel hub features a unique staggered design in its class. Additionally, the high-end models are equipped with a 1.3 cubic meter panoramic sunroof. The body color options include white, Cannes brown, Danube blue, and new Bordeaux red. 2. Interior design: The overall design of the C3-XR is relatively simple, adopting a carbon fiber imitation style. The leather multifunction steering wheel with an inverted D-shape design integrates rich functions. The center console is designed to be practical and simple, with clearly and practically arranged operation buttons. The high-end models are equipped with a large-sized central control touch LCD screen.
To locate the air conditioning filter in the Citroën C3-XR, it's hidden behind the glove compartment. I've changed it myself a few times and found it quite easy. Open the passenger-side glove box, carefully remove any clips or screws inside—usually, there are two plastic clips that need to be pressed down to release them. Behind that, you'll find a rectangular filter slot; gently pull out the old filter. When installing the new one, pay attention to the arrow direction, which should align with the airflow to avoid incorrect installation. It's recommended to replace the filter every 6 months or every 10,000 kilometers, or more frequently if driving in dusty urban areas. DIY replacement saves money, and the parts are readily available on Taobao or at auto parts stores for about 30 yuan each. Regular replacement keeps the air inside the car fresher, reduces irritation from pollen and dust, and makes driving more comfortable. After replacement, don’t forget to test the air conditioning airflow to ensure everything is working properly.
