Where is the cabin air filter located in a Range Rover Evoque and how to remove it?
3 Answers
The cabin air filter is installed behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, first open the glove compartment cover. Locate the fixing clip on the right side of the glove compartment, then pull it outward firmly to detach it. Use both hands to squeeze the sides of the glove compartment towards the center, and the glove compartment can then be removed. After removing the glove compartment, you will see the cabin air filter cover. Press firmly on the fixing clips on both sides of the cover to remove it. Pull the old cabin air filter outward to remove it.
I enjoy doing DIY car maintenance in my spare time. The cabin air filter location for a Range Rover Evoque is usually behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and the removal process is actually quite straightforward. First, adjust the seat backward to create working space, then open the glove box to check for any securing screws or clips – most models require a Phillips screwdriver to remove them. After taking off the glove box, you'll see the filter housing. Apply some force to pry open the cover and simply pull out the old filter. Remember to prepare a new filter with the correct OEM part number to ensure proper fitment – an incompatible one might not seal properly. I recommend doing this job every 10,000 kilometers. Leaving it too long allows dust accumulation that reduces airflow efficiency and promotes bacterial growth. Be gentle during the process to avoid scratching interior plastic trim. After reassembly, always test the AC system to verify proper operation and prevent rework hassles. Making this a regular habit significantly improves driving comfort.
As a DIY enthusiast, I found that the cabin air filter of the Range Rover Evoque is hidden behind the glove box, making it easy to replace myself. Open the glove box and locate the fastening points at the bottom, which usually have screws or clips. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove them, and once the glove box is moved aside, the filter housing will be immediately visible. Quickly open the cover, pull out the old filter, and replace it with a new one. I recommend using branded filters to avoid compatibility issues. A clogged filter reduces airflow and causes unpleasant odors in the car, affecting respiratory health. I check it every six months, saving money by doing it myself while learning new skills. Remember to turn off the AC power before starting for safety. After replacement, the fresh air inside the car feels amazing.
