Where is the cabin air filter located on the Peugeot 308?

Peugeot 308's cabin air filter is located in the front engine compartment under the right front windshield. The Peugeot 308 is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4590mm, width 1820mm, height 1488mm, and a wheelbase of 2675mm. The Peugeot 308 is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 85 kilowatts at 5500 rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with MacPherson strut independent front suspension and torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I remember when my Peugeot 308's AC started emitting odors, I researched the filter location and found it behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to open the glove box door, empty its contents, then locate small clips on the sides or bottom—press gently to release and remove the entire glove box. The filter housing usually hides behind it; just pry open the cover to remove the old filter for replacement. The process isn't difficult—I've done it twice myself, saving money and hassle with just an adjustable wrench or Phillips screwdriver. The key is patience: dismantle slowly as plastic parts are fragile. I recommend checking every 15,000 km or each spring to maintain fresh air and prevent allergies. Always opt for OEM or reputable brand filters—they effectively trap dust and bacteria, enhancing driving comfort.
