How to replace the cabin filter on a Peugeot 208

Model: Peugeot 208 UB, UJ, UP, MK 2, UW - Years 2019-2026
Part: Cabin air filter

Replacing the cabin filter on a Peugeot 208 seems easy, but it hides several traps. The filter is located on the passenger side, in the lower area of the dashboard, near the centre tunnel, behind a panel or cover. First of all, choose the right replacement: the activated carbon one is preferable if you drive in the city or behind trucks, as it also traps odours and gases. It is crucial that the airflow arrow points towards the inside of the system, not towards you. Remove the mat, locate the filter compartment cover, find the clips, and gently pry it off using a plastic lever or a small screwdriver. Remove the old filter. Quickly clean the compartment with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner, without pushing dirt deeper. Insert the new filter without forcing it, ensuring that the edges are well seated and that there are no bent corners. Close the cover without forcing it. Reattach the panels. Finally, test the fan at increasing speeds: if you hear whistles or vibrations, the filter is not seated correctly.

How to Reset the EDC Light on an Iveco Eurocargo

The engine light on an industrial vehicle like the Iveco Eurocargo must not be ignored. An engine fault on a heavy vehicle can cause serious damage to itself and others. After servicing, you can reset the EDC light, which is equivalent to an engine light, using the following method. Get into the vehicle, close the doors, and turn on the ignition: press the "call" button on the right side of the steering wheel once, then press the "down" button on the left side of the steering wheel twice. Now press the "menu" button on the right side of the steering wheel (below the phone button) and the "plus" button on the left side of the steering wheel.
