Where is the air conditioning filter of Peugeot 3008 located?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter of Peugeot 3008 is generally located near the glove compartment on the passenger side. You can see it by opening the glove compartment slightly. The following are the functions of the air conditioning filter: 1. Filtration: The most important function of the air conditioning filter is to filter dust from the air, preventing dust from entering the evaporator and forming sludge that can block it. If the airflow from the vents is noticeably reduced, it indicates a blockage. 2. Purification: Another function is air purification. The air conditioning filter usually contains activated carbon, which can absorb some harmful gases in the air, benefiting health. 3. Air conditioning design: In the design and manufacturing of air conditioners, the temperature is generally allowed to be controlled between 16-32℃. If the temperature is set too low, it not only increases unnecessary power consumption but also causes a significant temperature difference between indoor and outdoor environments. This makes it difficult for people to adapt quickly to temperature changes when moving between rooms, increasing the risk of catching a cold.
I've been driving a Peugeot 3008 for several years. The cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, which requires disassembly to access. First, adjust the passenger seat backward to create space to crouch down. There are two or three plastic clips at the bottom of the glove compartment that can be pried open with a coin or fingernail. Then, grab the partition and gently wiggle it side to side while slowly pulling it out—don't force it. The filter is right at the air intake of the AC system, and you'll see accumulated dust and leaves when removing the old filter. When installing the new filter, make sure to align it with the arrow direction for optimal filtration. I personally change it every 10,000+ kilometers and always before summer—otherwise, the AC will emit a musty smell and cooling efficiency suffers. Remember to be careful with the clips when removing the glove compartment to avoid breaking them. It's quite easy with online tutorials.
