Where is the cabin air filter located in a Ford Mondeo?
2 Answers
Mondeo's cabin air filter is located on the right side of the driver's accelerator pedal, which requires removing the accelerator pedal to access it. The cabin air filter functions to purify incoming outside air before it enters the vehicle interior. The replacement procedure is as follows: 1. First remove the air vent above the glove compartment on the passenger side, which is secured by three plastic clips - apply moderate force during removal to avoid damage. 2. There's a decorative panel on the right side of the glove compartment, remove it using the same method. 3. Use a screwdriver to remove six screws on the glove compartment. 4. After removing all screws, disconnect the glove compartment lighting wire and pull the glove compartment outward. 5. The cabin air filter becomes visible after removing the glove compartment. After replacement, reassemble the glove compartment by reversing the removal sequence.
I must say, the cabin air filter in a Ford Mondeo is usually located right behind the glove box. You can spot it as soon as you open it, but you'll need to remove a few screws or clips first to access it. When I drive this car myself, I prefer changing the filter by hand to avoid unnecessary expenses at the shop. Last summer, after installing a new filter, the air inside the car immediately felt fresher—no more dust blowing around and irritating my nose like before. I recommend checking it regularly, say every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. Otherwise, accumulated dust can easily trigger allergies or cause unpleasant odors from the AC. When replacing it, opt for an aftermarket brand filter—online options cost just over ten bucks, simple and cost-effective. Make it a habit to keep the glove box clutter-free for easy maintenance, which helps prolong your car's lifespan.
