Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

Model: Vauxhall Zafira Zafira A, MK 1, T98 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Cabin air filter

On this model, to access the cabin air recirculation filter, you will need to unscrew the screws located under the hinges of the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove compartment, unscrew another six screws around the compartment. Now remove the cover you unscrewed earlier and then the ventilation unit. Remove the three elements indicated in the video and take off the side cover. Remove the old filter, taking care to remember the orientation in which it was fitted, then insert the new one.
