Where is the cabin air filter located in the Renault Fluence?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Renault Fluence is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. To provide fresh air; 2. To adsorb harmful substances; 3. To filter solid particles. Taking the 2015 Renault Fluence as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4618mm, width 1813mm, height 1488mm, and a wheelbase of 2702mm. The 2015 Renault Fluence features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 137PS, maximum power of 101kW, and maximum torque of 191Nm, paired with a CVT transmission.
I've been running my own repair shop for nearly twenty years and have worked on at least a hundred Renault Fluences. The air conditioning filter in this car is quite hidden, located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To remove it, first empty the contents inside, then pinch both sides of the glove compartment inward to detach it. Lift the cover to reveal the white rectangular filter housing. This design is actually more convenient than many other cars—last time, I helped a female owner replace it in less than ten minutes. A reminder for everyone: the arrow on the filter should point toward the rear of the car when installing. Installing it backward affects filtration. Remember to replace the filter before the rainy season, especially in humid southern areas where mold can develop, leading to musty smells from the AC that can harm your health.
