2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the 2013 Peugeot 308 is located in the front engine compartment on the passenger side. The replacement process is relatively simple, with the following specific steps: 1. Open the front engine hood of the car. There are 4 screws near the passenger-side windshield. Use a screwdriver to gently loosen them. 2. After removing the screws, slowly pull out the sound insulation cotton above. 3. Once the sound insulation cotton is removed, you can see the cabin air filter of the Peugeot 308. 4. Replace it with a new cabin air filter, then reinstall the sound insulation cotton in the reverse order of removal. This completes the entire process of replacing the cabin air filter in the 2013 Peugeot 308. Important notes about the cabin air filter: 1. Clean and replace the cabin air filter on time. Generally, the cabin air filter should be cleaned every 5,000 kilometers and replaced every 8,000 kilometers. If a severe musty odor is detected when using the air conditioning, replace the cabin air filter immediately. 2. Try to choose the original factory filter when replacing the cabin air filter, as its quality is relatively guaranteed and less likely to cause issues. 3. Depending on the car model, the type and style of the cabin air filter may vary. Some models' cabin air filters can only be replaced, not cleaned, so pay attention to this in advance.
I've driven quite a few Peugeot 308s before, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the glove box, and you can feel a small cover. Just gently pull it off or pry it open with a screwdriver, and the old filter is hidden inside. I replaced it with a new one myself, and I recommend using an activated carbon filter—it removes odors and traps dust. After changing it, the air blows out faster, and the air feels much fresher, making long drives much more comfortable. It's suggested to replace it every 10,000–20,000 kilometers or once a year—simple and cost-effective. The location isn’t too hard to find, and the design is user-friendly. Proper maintenance helps avoid fan noise or blockages affecting cooling. Remember to check it regularly to save unnecessary repair shop expenses.
