Where is the Citroën's cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
Citroën's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, the glove compartment needs to be removed. It is recommended to have it replaced at an auto repair shop or a 4S dealership. The cabin air filter in a vehicle requires regular replacement as it is a consumable item that tends to deteriorate over time. Citroën is a brand under Citroën Automobile Company. Taking the Citroën C5 as an example: it is a mid-size sedan with dimensions of 4825mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2815mm. It is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 123kw and a maximum torque of 245nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
If you own a Citroën, such as a C3 or C4, the cabin air filter is usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to open the glove compartment door first, and then you might find some clips or screws. Remove them to access the filter housing. Having helped others with car repairs for years, I've seen this design quite often—it's not hard to locate but requires careful handling. It's recommended to replace the filter every 1 to 2 years or around 15,000 kilometers. Otherwise, a clogged filter can reduce airflow from the AC and lead to musty odors in the car. Beginners can refer to the vehicle manual, which usually includes diagrams for clarity. Avoid forcing anything open to prevent damage. If you're handy, you can try replacing it yourself—a new filter significantly improves air quality, especially beneficial for those with allergies.
