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.

Should I Report Broken Car Window Glass to Insurance?

Broken car window glass requires insurance coverage. Below is relevant information about auto insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: This is a mandatory coverage that all vehicle owners must purchase. Its only drawback is the relatively small compensation amount. 2. Third-party Liability Insurance: This serves as a supplement to compulsory insurance. Both cover third-party compensation, but payouts are determined based on the policyholder's degree of responsibility in an accident. Many auto insurance policies contain deductible waiver clauses where insurers waive certain deductibles. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This covers compensation for damage to your own vehicle, but not all damages are covered. For instance, standalone damage to glass, external rearview mirrors, or tires (including rims) isn't covered. Additionally, insurers don't compensate for damages caused by earthquakes, drunk driving, or hit-and-run incidents.

What Causes Loud Noise When Closing Car Doors?

Here are the specific reasons for loud noise when closing car doors: 1. Worn door hinges: Wipe off surface dust with a cloth or tissue, then use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of lubricating oil to repeatedly apply to the hinge and circled areas of the door limiter. Open and close the door repeatedly, and repeat the steps of applying oil and operating the door until the noise disappears. Avoid applying excessive lubricant to prevent contamination of other door parts. If the issue persists, it may be due to wear and require replacement of new hinges and limiters. 2. Aging door seals: Check if the door seals are aging. As seals are rubber products, regularly clean dust and rainwater from seal gaps to prevent aging. Since seal gaps easily accumulate sand and dust, frequently clean them with a brush and apply a layer of high-permeability protective agent to prevent seal aging. If the seals are severely damaged or significantly aged, replacement with new seals is necessary.

Can petroleum and petrochemical products be mixed together when refueling?

Petroleum and petrochemical products should not be mixed together when refueling. If you want to switch between them, you need to drain the remaining gasoline from the fuel tank. Different brands of gasoline have varying processing techniques and raw materials. Although there may not be obvious effects initially, prolonged use will definitely be unfavorable to the engine's working condition (carbon deposits, shaking). Therefore, car owners must avoid mixing them. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture obtained from the fractional distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum. It is mainly used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines and primarily consists of organic compounds derived from crude oil distillation and various additives.
