Where is the cabin air filter located in the Land Rover Discovery Sport?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Land Rover Discovery Sport is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, which requires removing the glove box for access. Below is an introduction to cabin air filters: 1. For most household sedans, the cabin air filter is situated within the passenger-side storage compartment. Removing this compartment reveals the cabin air filter inside. 2. In some vehicles, the cabin air filter is located under the engine hood. To access it, you need to lift the engine cover, remove the fixed drain trough clips and the drain trough. 3. Over time, the activated carbon filtration function of a used cabin air filter diminishes. Therefore, you can purchase a compatible cabin air filter from the auto parts market for replacement. During summer, it's generally recommended to replace the filter monthly. In seasons when the air conditioning is not in use, replacement may not be necessary. The replacement frequency can be adjusted based on specific usage conditions.
I've been driving a Discovery Sport for many years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. To replace it, you need to open the glove box and remove the clips or small screws to access the filter compartment. It's important to change it every six months to prevent dust buildup and musty air, which can affect respiratory health. I recommend using genuine parts or reputable aftermarket brands, and pay attention to the arrow direction when installing to match the airflow and ensure proper filtration. Regular checks can also prevent increased engine load and save a bit on fuel. Take your time during replacement to avoid breaking the clips—beginners can practice by watching YouTube tutorials first. Overall, the location is straightforward, and the job can be done in about 10 minutes.
