Most Volvo's from the mid 1990's up until present have something called a cabin air filter installed somewhere near the front of the passenger air bag. This filter acts as an air filter, and filtrates the air that comes into the cabin of the car whenever the A/C or heat is on. Over time, this filter can clog up with debris such as leaves, dirt, dust, etc. This tutorial will show you how to change your filter, and will also show you how to install one if your car doesn't currently have one.
Prerequisites:
T25 torx head driver
New cabin air filter
(optional) cabin air filter mount
1. Open the engine bay by pulling the red lever on the left side of the drivers side kick panel.
2. Locate the air breather hose on your car (if equipped) and disconnect it as shown in the picture below.
4. Pull the flap foward and lift up. Then remove the cabin air filter. (If equipped)
As you can see on this 850, the cabin air filter was almost completely disintegrated.
5. Place your new filter in the mount. If you have a genuine Volvo air filter, place the filter with the tab facing towards the front of the car. This tab snaps in and insures a tight fit. Several aftermarket filters, are cheaper and don't have this tab, which doesn't really matter, it just makes the filter more secure.
7. Lower the plastic flap on top of the air filter. Make sure that you slip the flap underneath the weatherstripping, or else you will get leaks in your air filter, which can lead to mold and musty scents in your A/C / heating system.
8. Tighten the two T25 bolts so that the plastic strip is snug. Your finished!
Mold spores are one of the airborne contaminants. They cause many health problems such as asthma, allergy, cough, sneeze, etc. These mold spores are sometimes poisonous, posing a severe threat. Hence, one should check if the purifier is able to combat these minute, yet threatening spores. Best air purifier under 20k online India
