In this video tutorial, we will see how to replace the cabin filter in a 2017 Nissan Qashqai 1.5 diesel, following a few simple steps: the first thing to do is to purchase a new cabin filter from an authorised car parts dealer; the next step is to get inside the vehicle, turn off the engine, and pull the handbrake.

The cabin filter can be found under the glove compartment, so you need to push the passenger seat back as far as possible for easier access; remove the snap-on panel, and now you will see the filter box, so you need to remove the door of the filter box and take out the old filter element from its housing.

Insert the new filter element into place, following the arrows on the filter itself.
