Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Cabin air filter

Let's replace the worn pollen filter on a Citroen C5 and see how to remove it. The cabin filter is located at the bottom behind the centre tunnel. Using a plastic lever, detach the cover located at the bottom of the dashboard. Get a screwdriver or socket wrench, remove the cap from the filter housing. Extract the worn cabin filter. Install a new cabin filter, ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the housing, reattach the filter cover and tighten the screws with the socket wrench. Double-check the assembly of the parts.
