Where is the air conditioning filter of Peugeot 307 located?

In the upper left corner of the engine compartment. For the health of the occupants, it is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter of the Peugeot 307 every six months. Here is some relevant information: 1. The car air conditioning filter mainly helps to filter out fine impurities and dirt in the car, thereby providing a more comfortable and superior in-car environment. During the operation of the engine, a large amount of outside air is required for support, and impurities will inevitably be inhaled. The air conditioning filter will filter out impurities and microorganisms in the air. 2. When the airflow from the car's vents is significantly weaker than before, the filter may be clogged with dust and needs to be replaced. 3. When you notice an unusual smell from the air conditioning, such as sour or foul odors, besides replacing the filter, the entire ventilation system should also be checked. If you live in a city with a lot of wind, sand, and dust, it is recommended to shorten the replacement cycle. If you live in a city with fresh air and a clean environment, you can appropriately extend the replacement cycle of the air conditioning filter.
I've been driving a Peugeot 307 for quite some years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. You'll need to open the glove box door first, where there are usually plastic clips or small screws holding it in place—gently pry them open or unscrew them by hand or with a small tool. After removing the glove box, you'll see a square filter housing; lift the cover to pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one. It sounds simple, but the first time you do it, you might feel a bit flustered, especially since the clips can break easily. I change mine every six months—they're inexpensive and easy to buy online with matching model numbers. Over time, the car's AC can start blowing musty air or dust, and replacing the filter significantly improves air quality, which is especially beneficial for people with allergies. Breathing clean air inside the car makes driving much more pleasant. Remember to align the arrow on the new filter with the airflow direction to avoid reducing filtration efficiency. If you're not keen on DIY, any regular repair shop can handle it quickly—don’t wait until summer when the odor becomes unbearable.
