Replacing the Cabin Air Filter on the Citroen C3 SX Version

Model: Citroen C3 SY, SX - Years 2016-2023
Part: Cabin air filter

To prevent dust from entering the air conditioning system of the Citroen C3 SX version at the intake, a specific filter has been installed that must be replaced periodically. To do this, open the engine bay bonnet; at the base of the windscreen, on the passenger side, you will find a ventilation grille that you will open by acting on the three clips that secure it. Below, you will find the filter in two parts; detach the block and pull out the two components, insert the two new filter elements in their place, ensuring the correct flow direction, reposition the block, and close the grille.
