On the Peugeot 208 MK1 (2012-2019), the pollen filter is not in the "standard" position many expect (under the glove compartment or behind the dashboard). It is instead in a less accessible position, as revealed in the video.

The filter is located under the plastic trim on the passenger side of the centre tunnel, near the pedal. It is not under the dashboard or behind the console.

Now, let's go through the replacement procedure: remove the side trim (the plastic panel on the passenger side, under the central console). Gently pull it away, using leverage if necessary, then locate the filter housing and open the cover.

Clean the housing thoroughly, removing dust and debris before inserting the new filter, ensuring the airflow direction is respected, usually indicated by an arrow on the filter. Finally, close the cover and reattach the side trim.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
