Where is the cabin air filter located in the Citroën C4L?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Citroën C4L is located at the upper front section of the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the engine compartment hood, and you'll find it between the coolant reservoir and the engine cover on the left side of the compartment. You'll need to remove the sound insulation panel and pull it out toward the front of the vehicle. The cabin air filter is a component installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system that absorbs dust particles, alleviates respiratory discomfort, reduces irritation for allergy sufferers, and protects the air conditioning cooling system. The Citroën C4L is a compact car launched by Dongfeng Citroën, with dimensions of 4675mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1500mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2710mm. It is equipped with 1.2T and 1.6T turbocharged engines, paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Citroën C4L for a while, and the location of the cabin air filter is quite easy to find—it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. When you open the glove box and remove all its contents, you'll notice small clips or screws on both sides. Apply some pressure or loosen them to remove the compartment. Behind it, there's a plastic cover panel; pry it open to reveal the filter. Pay attention to the direction when removing the old filter, and install the new one with the arrow pointing the right way—that's all it takes. The whole process is straightforward, requiring no professional tools, and can be done in about five minutes. I usually replace it every six months, especially in dusty urban areas. After replacement, the airflow becomes smoother, eliminating musty odors inside the car and making breathing more comfortable. The filter effectively traps dust and pollen, which is particularly beneficial for people with allergies. The thoughtful design of its location makes it easy for owners to DIY. A new filter costs just a few dozen bucks online, saving the expense of a mechanic visit. Regular maintenance also extends the AC system's lifespan, significantly improving the overall driving experience.
