The cabin air filter in a 2017 Peugeot 408 is located behind the plastic panel on the left side of the front passenger footwell. The replacement steps are as follows: 1. Remove the circular cover on the plastic panel near the front passenger's left leg; 2. Insert your fingers to detach and remove the entire plastic panel; 3. You will then see the blower motor and the cabin air filter housing; 4. Press and release the plastic clips on the cabin air filter housing to remove it; 5. Replace with a new cabin air filter and reassemble in reverse order of disassembly. The 2017 Peugeot 408 is a compact car launched by Dongfeng Peugeot. Its front fascia continues Peugeot's signature family design, featuring an inverted trapezoidal grille wrapped in chrome trim with futuristic matrix-style interior detailing. The elongated triangular headlights appear very sharp, and the illuminated LED daytime running lights exude a regal lion-like presence.

I've changed the cabin air filter several times on my 2017 Peugeot 408. It's located behind the glove box on the passenger side, which is quite easy to find. Just open the glove box, there are two small clips that need to be gently pushed off, and then you can see the filter cover. Remove the cover to take out the old filter and replace it with a new one. It's very simple to do it yourself, and you don't need any special tools—just a screwdriver will do. It's recommended to change the filter every year or every 10,000 kilometers. Otherwise, the air from the AC might carry a dusty smell, which can affect your driving mood. I always make sure to clean it on time, which improves the air quality inside the car. Even on long trips, I don’t have any allergy issues. The key is saving money and time—a good-quality filter only costs a few dozen yuan, which is half the price compared to getting it done at a 4S shop.

Where is the engine of the Venucia Star produced?

The engine of the Venucia Star is provided by Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi and is a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Venucia Star is A415TD, with a maximum power of 140 kW, maximum torque of 260 Nm, maximum horsepower of 190Ps, maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and maximum torque speed of 1500-4500 rpm. For daily maintenance of the Venucia Star engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to pass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts precipitate, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
