How to change the cabin air filter of the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 Pluriel - Years 2003-2010
Part: Cabin air filter

On the Citroen C3, the cabin air filter is accessed from the engine compartment, in the area at the base of the windshield, behind the plastic under the windshield. In the video, the hood is opened, and the correct area is immediately identified: work is done near the edge of the windshield, where there is space to reach the filter holder. Once the access point is found on the Citroen C3, the small door/filter cover is released, and the hand is inserted to grasp the filter. The old filter is removed by sliding it out of its seat, with a controlled motion to avoid tearing it and to prevent leaving dirt around the area. Immediately after, the new filter is taken and inserted into the same spot, making sure it goes in straight and all the way in, thus correctly resting inside the filter holder.
