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

Replacing the filter is a task that should be done periodically and is essential for the health of the driver and passengers, as it filters the air effectively, reducing risks for allergy sufferers. You just need a good level of manual dexterity to avoid going to the mechanic. The filter is located on the passenger side, beneath the glove compartment. Once you detach the relevant panel, remove it from its housing by taking it out of the box using a cross-head screwdriver to remove the screws.
