I've got a 2008 S40, nonturbo...does anyone know how/where, etc to replace the cabin filter? Thanks.

 

Hi Bruins27....

I'm going through the same thing now with my '05.....If you look at the web address, type in "php?t=35693"....AutoNaut/Stan gave a good lesson on it...It may be my Memorial Day weekend project along w/oil, plugs, etc.

Happy at 96000miles,

Andy

Note! The direction of the air flow is indicated on the top of the filter. Ensure that the filter is installed with the text side facing up and so that the arrows on the filter point straight back into the vehicle.
Install the air filter by compressing it slightly and inserting it behind the brake pedal.

Clamp the cover in place at the rear edge. Screw the cover into place at the front edge using the 3 screws.

This is one of the worst things about the Volvo S40. It's so much work to do this.
