Replacement of Cabin Air Filter

Model: Peugeot 406 MK 1 - Years 1995-2005
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter housing for this car model is located externally, just below the windscreen, on the passenger side; therefore, open the front bonnet, remove the retaining clips from the grille protecting the filter housing, and take it off to access the filter itself; extract the old filter from its housing, eliminate any dirt residue inside the filter housing, and apply the new one (preferably activated carbon) following the direction of airflow indicated by the arrows on the filter itself. When replacing the cabin air filter, it is advisable to sanitise the cabin with a suitable germicidal spray.
