I've changed the cabin air filter on my '99 S70 in the past, which is accessed from under the hood on the passenger side of the car. I bought a 2004 S60 a few weeks ago and I'd like to change the cabin air filter. The owners manual mentions the filter, but doesn't give a clue as to where it's located. It doesn't appear to be under the hood like the S70. I'm making an educated guess that I will need to start with the panels under the glove box. Any tips, advice or instruction as to where the cabin filter is located?

Thanks

 

Remove the lower dash panel on the passenger side. Then look under the dash on the bottom of the climate box you will see a black panel the screws straight up. Remove the 4 screws and you can replace the panel.

 

I've been meaning to ask this question for a while...

Thanks tech! I'll pick up a filter tomorrow!!

 

You might want to check and see which filter you have first. There is a regular one and a heavy duty one. You can put a heavy duty filter into one that had a regular one but you cannot go the opposite way. If you have the regular one and upgrade you will have to break a piece of plastic out to fit the bigger one in.

 

Thanks for the heads up on that detail. I'll pull out the filter before going to get the new one.
