- I show step by step how the filter can be replaced without causing damage to it, if the wrong procedure is used the filter can easily be damaged and will fail to function properly, this is one of the problems that arose when Ford & Volvo became in partnership with each other, this car is half Ford & half Volvo.
Just done my C30 couple of small differences only that there is 2 wiring harnesses clipped to the metal bracket which are a right pain to remove as you need to do it before you can get the bracket out. Also the pollen filter lid was only bolted on with one wing bolt. That apart it is the same, a right pain. The only suggestion I would make is to get a set of trim tools which saves the chance of damaging the trim. But so grateful to John for uploading this, cheers mate.
nice to know the video helped, thanks for the comment
When I first viewed this I thought it a big job, but just following your instruction meant I completed it in only 40 minutes, for which I am very grateful. Many thanks John
Glad it helped!
Thank you John. No airflow and condensation in the cabin diagnosed to blocked filter. This video was a godsend.
Glad it helped thank you for the comment
SO NICE how Volvo/Ford decided to put the cabin air filter in *_SUCH_* a convenient place to get at...
On a more serious note, thank you for the video, Im going to be doing this on mine when the weather warms up here, which looks like is going to be soon!
Greetings from Canada by the way!
Thank you for your comment, and good luck.
Great video John. Looks a lot scarier than it actually is, but far easier than trying to do it without removing glove box. Thanks for the concise explanation
Thanks 👍
Hi John, I also watched your video and swapped theV50 cabin filter. Followed your method even though I have seen elsewhere all sorts of short cuts. This way you do it properly as you say, you wont disturb the fusebox wiring, wont rip the new filter etc. In fact it was a lengthy but reasonably enjoyable job which I know I have done properly, Glad I wasn't paying garage rates! Unlike one of the other posters it took me a couple of hours but that was partly explained by having to search out some replacement screws and one of the fusebox bracket bolts that was missing! Incidentally like one of the other posters there was a single butterfly headed screw (white nylon) holding the filter door. Although I didn't, because of messing around near the fusebox I think disconnecting the battery would have been a good idea and will if there is a next time. Thanks again, I had already twice started and abandoned other attempts using the method in the Haynes manual, which is hopeless compared to old Haynes manuals. Think I will use it as loo paper!
Nice to know the video helped thanks for the comment
When Volvo & Ford became in partnership with each other this car became half Volvo & half Ford, the position of the cabin filter & getting access to it was given very little thought, and this is the result.
But a good explanatory walk through.. Many thanks.. Most of the worry about this operation is breaking clips etc. and disturbing connections on the fuse board...
That was a lot of work... All I did was drop the fuse board and supporting bracket, opened filter hatch and replaced filter. No need to dismantle half of the dash!
Mac Saxe, You made that sound easy, but doing it your way is OK if you are a contortionist and don,t care about damaging the filter in the process. If you watch my video carefully you will see I don't dismantle half the dash, I just undo a few screws and remove the glove box, this allows easy access and you are able to see exactly what you are doing.
@@johnbower true, I did shred my hands, swear a lot, inadvertently kick my wife's car door and woke up the next day with the sorest neck in Christianson...
I also have replaced mine the way you've mentioned and this was extremily difficult replacement of a cabin fillter I have ever done, I felt my back for days after. I wish I was more patient at the time and done what John suggested.
UK car ?
Very useful. Thanks for showing how to do it, I'm going to attempt mine this week.
thanks for the comment, Note : after removing the filter and before fitting the new one the filter housing will need to be cleaned out using a vacuum cleaner, because some dirt etc will have fallen off the filter into the bottom of the housing, and before refitting the glove box it is also worthwhile to clean out the climate control sensor which you will find in the panel to the right of the glove box. Good luck.
@@johnbower I'll be perfectly honest, I attempted to do it today without removing the glove box and completely failed! Tomorrow will be a glovebox out, if my back and neck has recovered from today lol. Thanks again. Lesson learnt.
It’s difficult to believe that a car manufacturer can position a consumable item in such an inaccessible location. Inexcusable.
Yes, makes me wonder how many of these cars have not had the filter changed due to the problem of getting at it.
Hi,is the CCM,conector showed in your video?any help?thanks
Disconnect the negative of the battery and just completely unplug the board and get it out the way. No need to take the dash apart. We never took them apart like this. It’s perfectly fine to unplug those connectors. Makes life even easier than this lol.
I did not take the dash apart just remove the glove box, you are then able to clearly see the filter housing and it's fixings. and no need to unplug the fuse board.
Not for LEFT HAND DRIVE !!!
On the Left hand drive Volvo is much easier to replace this cabin filter.
Yes I have seen that and you only need to remove the throttle pedal I say only, but really.
@@skippyglen6610 yes, exactly. I was very surprised that's so complicated in UK volvos.. 🤔 almost all dashboard had to be removed.
