Where is the cabin air filter located in a Citroen C4?

The cabin air filter in a Citroen C4 is located under the windshield on the passenger side. You can access it by removing the drainage channel along the lower edge of the windshield. Here's some information about cabin air filters: 1. A cabin air filter is a filter installed in the car's air conditioning system that absorbs dust particles, reduces respiratory discomfort, minimizes irritation for allergy sufferers, and protects the air conditioning cooling system. 2. The cabin air filter ensures a tight seal with the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, and odors from the air, prevents windshield fogging, and maintains clear visibility for safer driving.
Last time I helped a friend check the Citroen C4, the cabin air filter is usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to open the glove box first, remove a few plastic clips or small screws, then gently pull out the compartment to reveal a black box - that's the filter housing. The location is quite easy to find, but be careful not to break the plastic clips during removal and installation. Even beginners can handle this job. It's recommended to replace the filter every six months or 10,000 kilometers to prevent dust buildup that could affect AC airflow. This also keeps the cabin air cleaner, making long drives more comfortable. You'll notice a difference in how the car feels after a simple filter replacement.
I've been driving the C4 for a while now. The cabin air filter is usually located under the glove box or near the windshield wipers. When the glove box is full of items, you'll need to empty it first, then press the side clips to remove it. The filter is inside a housing - just open the cover to replace it. Finding it isn't too troublesome, but don't rush the process. Taking your time helps avoid mistakes. If you notice strange odors or slower cooling, it's likely the filter is dirty. Replacing it promptly can save you money on AC repairs. The location is generally fixed, though there might be minor variations between model years - just try it out and you'll figure it out.
