Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Model: Porsche 911 996 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located under the front hood, on the passenger side, just below the windshield. Once you open the hood, remove the plastic cover of the battery compartment and the cover of the cabin air filter housing; then extract the old filter, clean the filter housing thoroughly, and install the new one, ensuring the correct airflow direction; finally, reinstall the covers that were removed. It can be very helpful, after replacing the filter, to sanitize the cabin using a special spray that eliminates bacteria and bad odors.

Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
