The cabin air filter of the Peugeot 2008 is located inside the air intake in front of the front passenger seat. Remove the air intake cover to access the cabin air filter. Taking the 2020 Peugeot 2008 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4312mm, width 1785mm, height 1545mm, and a wheelbase of 2612mm, with a curb weight of 1270kg. The 2020 Peugeot 2008 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 136PS, maximum power of 100kW, and maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Peugeot 2008 for several years and I'm very familiar with the location of the cabin air filter. It's behind the storage compartment in front of the front passenger seat, what we commonly call the glove box. After opening the glove box, you'll see two clips inside. Gently press them inward to remove the entire glove box. Then you'll notice a rectangular cover - lifting this reveals the filter slot. The first time I replaced it, I was all thumbs and nearly broke the clips, which seems quite funny in retrospect. The location is quite user-friendly, requiring no tools at all - it can be done barehanded. I recommend checking it every six months, especially after driving on dusty roads when the filter tends to clog. DIY replacement saves hundreds in labor costs, but make sure to purchase compatible new filters - don't compromise on quality for cheaper alternatives that might affect performance.
