Koleos cabin air filter is located behind the glove box, behind the white cover on the side wall of the center console. Koleos is a model under Renault Automobile Company. The vehicle has a length, width, and height of 4520mm, 1865mm, and 1715mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2690mm, and is available in front-wheel drive and front four-wheel drive configurations. In terms of power, this car uses two engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. In terms of appearance, this car features a finer chrome grille, paired with a large Renault logo and a new front bumper, enhancing the three-dimensional and layered feel of the front face. The side profile includes newly added chrome anti-scratch strips and a newly designed two-tone five-spoke wheel hub, which is full and dynamic.

The Koleos's cabin air filter is located right behind the glove box. I've been driving this car for years and always replace it myself. Just open the glove box door on the passenger side, where you'll usually find several clips or screws securing it. Remove those, and you can move the glove box aside to reveal the cover of the cabin air filter. Pry open the cover, and the filter can be pulled out directly. The design makes it quite convenient—no professional tools needed, so it's easy to do it yourself. It's recommended to replace it every 15,000 kilometers or once a year; don't wait until you notice strange odors. If the filter gets dirty, the airflow from the AC will weaken, and the air inside the car can become very stale, making you more prone to sneezing. You can buy an OEM or aftermarket filter online that matches your model—it's cheap and quick, so no need to overspend at the dealership.

The cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side of the Renault Koleos, requiring simple disassembly for access. Open the glove compartment door, where you may find plastic clips or screw fastening points. After removing these, the glove compartment can be detached, revealing the cover of the cabin air filter housing. When installing a new filter, ensure the arrow direction points toward the interior to guarantee proper airflow direction. I recommend using an activated carbon filter to enhance filtration efficiency. The DIY process only requires a screwdriver, and you can purchase the correctly sized filter online. Regular replacement is advised annually or every 15,000 kilometers to prevent dust accumulation from affecting air conditioning performance. A deteriorated filter can reduce airflow and even lead to mold growth and unpleasant odors. Simple maintenance can save on repair costs.

The Koleos' cabin air filter is located right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Just remove it to find the filter. Open the glove box door, and you'll see some clips inside - press them or unscrew the screws. After removing the glove box, you'll notice a small cover; lift it up, and the filter is inside. I often change it myself - buying a filter online and replacing it takes only about ten minutes. Regular replacement is crucial; check it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. A dirty filter can cause foul odors in the car and affect health. Doing it yourself saves time and money, and it's easy to handle.

How to Park in an Angled Parking Space?

Park the car on the right side of the parking space along the angled line, adjusting the vehicle to the appropriate position. When the left rearview mirror aligns with the left boundary line of the parking space, adjust the vehicle, turn the steering wheel fully to the right, and continue moving forward. When the body of the car forms a suitable angle with the parking space, and the car body is basically parallel to the parking space, with the left rearview mirror just able to see the left front of the car, stop the vehicle. Observe the left and right rearview mirrors, straighten the wheels, and slowly reverse to make slight adjustments, ensuring the vehicle is aligned with the parking space in a straight line.

What Causes Loud Car Noises?

There are several reasons for loud car noises, including unsuitable engine oil, aging and loose belts, excessively high water temperature, dirty and clogged intake systems, poor sound insulation, etc. Different issues require corresponding inspections and repairs. Unsuitable engine oil: If the oil viscosity is too high and lubrication deteriorates, it may cause loud engine noise. Promptly visit a repair shop to check whether the oil needs replacement. When changing the oil, always choose the type suitable for your car's engine and ensure the oil quality. Aging and loose belts: Check if the belts are loose. Sometimes, loose belts can increase noise in the engine compartment, requiring belt tightening. If the looseness is due to belt aging, replace the belt promptly. Excessively high water temperature: Loud engine noise may result from high water temperature. Check if the temperature gauge is normal and whether there is smoke in the engine compartment. If the water temperature is too high, do not drive the vehicle. Park it in an open area and open the radiator to cool it down. Additionally, ensure the coolant is replaced before winter. Dirty and clogged intake system: If the noise is particularly noticeable when the vehicle idles at high RPM, it may indicate clogging in the throttle body, intake ducts, or fuel injectors, requiring cleaning. Poor sound insulation: If the interior noise is excessive, it suggests poor sound insulation. Check if the vehicle's sealing strips show signs of aging. If so, reseal or add soundproofing materials.

Can Water Enter the Transmission?

Can water enter the transmission? Here are the details: 1. Clean water entry: Try not to drive or run the engine. In this case, the water will settle at the bottom of the gear oil in the transmission. Open the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to drain all the water and oil, then add new gear oil. 2. Dirty water or water with sediment entry: If clean water enters and the vehicle is driven or the engine is run, the water and oil will emulsify due to high-speed mixing inside the transmission, making it difficult to separate the oil and water. In this case, the transmission must be removed and opened for cleaning. If sediment enters the bearings, especially the input shaft bearing, all components inside the transmission must be disassembled and cleaned.
