Replacement of Cabin Air Filter

Model: Volvo S70 MK 1 - Years 1996-2000
Part: Cabin air filter

If you notice a bad smell coming from the air vents when the air conditioning is turned on, it is likely time to replace the cabin air filter. The filter is located in the engine compartment, just under the windscreen on the passenger side. Open the front bonnet, disconnect the water drainage hose, unscrew the fastening screws of the plastic trim, and lift it to access the filter seat and remove it. Remove any dirt residue from the filter seat and install the new one. When replacing the filter, it is recommended to sanitise the cabin with a suitable antibacterial spray.
