Cabin air filter location

Christos · 03-07-2024, 09:12 PM

I searched all over but can’t locate anything on the cabin air filter. I must not be searching correctly because can never find anything I’m looking for….

I’m looking for the location of the filter so I can change it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Above guide is correct. Get ready to become a contortionist.

Mine is held in with torx head screws, but YMMV. I don't see that mentioned in the guide posted above, so expect to have them before you get under the dash.

Thank you, have you done this?

How does this plug come out?
• Unlock associated plug connection and disconnect.

Never mind, you have to just pull it really hard, no release mechanism

What is this recirculation flap in this guide? It says makes sure it's open and the next sentence says makes sure it's closed?

Never ever again will I attempt this. I’m a pretty spry guy but this was a PITA.

Yep, tried it once. Took it to the dealer, and then visited the chiropractor (no, really).
