Replacing the Engine Air Filter

Model: Volvo Xc90 MK 1 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Air filter

The engine air filter is located just behind the left front headlight (driver's side). To access it, remove the cover applied to the filter box and the one on the engine. Then, unscrew the screws securing the filter container cover, above which the engine control unit is mounted. Lift the cover and remove the old filter, cleaning any dirt inside the box while ensuring nothing falls into the intake duct. Insert the new filter and reposition the cover, securing it with the appropriate screws.
