Where is the cabin air filter located in the 508?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the 508 is located above the accelerator pedal under the dashboard on the driver's side. The cabin air filter is a filter installed in the car's air conditioning system, which can absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. The 508 is a mid-size sedan under Dongfeng Peugeot, equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 170 HP. The dimensions of the 508 are 4870mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2848mm, and it comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The car has a top speed of 220 km/h, a trunk capacity of 513L, and uses a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.
The cabin air filter of the Peugeot 508 is usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you need to remove the glove box to access it. Last time I replaced it myself, I first had to detach the damper rod of the glove box, then press the clips on both sides to remove the entire glove box. Inside, there's a rectangular cover panel that you can pry open to see the cabin air filter inserted in the guide slot. When pulling it out to replace, pay attention to the arrow direction to avoid installing it backward. The job isn't too difficult but quite straining on the back. It took me over half an hour the first time, mainly figuring out how to remove the glove box. It's recommended to replace it before hot weather sets in, otherwise accumulated dust can cause a musty smell when the AC is on.
