The tip on pulling that fuse block assembly was pure gold. Thank you for going up the learning curve for us!

I watched your video at least 10 times throughout a year before trying it. It only took like 15 mins. Thank you!

Great video, helped tremendously. Volvo has designed an incredibly difficult to replace common air filter, kudos.

I'm green when it comes to car maintenance. However, when a local shop quoted me $250 to replace my cabin air filter, I knew it was time for me to get my $hit together. I had trouble removing the fuse box assembly from the clip that held it in place. The mechanic that changed my oil this morning was able to help me with that step. Everything else was a breeze. In all, it only cost me $14 to get this whole thing done. Thank you so much! Next, I plan on restoring my headlights using your video.... I appreciate you!

Just did this today on my wife’s car and it was pretty easy thanks to your video. I bought the Carquest replacement product at first from Advance Auto Parts - Model No. 90212C), and it’s a complete piece of crap. Don’t buy it. Like the video shows, you have to accordion the filter a little bit when installing it given the ridiculous design Volvo made with this and other models to replace this, and the Carquest model can’t do that and just falls apart. Go with the Purolator One product instead (Model No. C25840C)(or the one the dude in this video lists), both of which look and feel like the original product and can easily accordion fold to get it into the proper position to fit when replacing it. Like others said, the tab/clip to push to remove the fuse box is absolutely a god send to making this pretty easy.

OMG, the fuse box tab was the winner for me!

It took me 30 minutes start to finish (2017 S60 Inscription) including a couple pauses to re-watch portions of your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this. I am a large(ish) guy with big hands, so this would be a little easier for a more nimble person. I moved my car into the driveway so that I could have lots of natural light, but still needed a flashlight to see some of the key bits up underneath. I doubled up a yoga mat outside the car to kneel on and draped a thick towel over the sill so that there were less hard things and sharp objects involved. The process is a pain, but definitely DIY friendly with a little bit of patience. Thanks again, and Happy New Year!

Thanks so much. Just bought mine 3 weeks ago, and it was kept in garage almost 2 years. Filter was so dirty, idk how can I replace it without your video. Thanks so much

Thanks so much. This is a very tough job and all your camera work was perfect!!!

Thank you. That filter is a Swedish torture device. Good idea on the fuse box.

thanks a lot for this tutorial!! i've got no car knowledge but this made it super simple for me, done in 15 minutes :D

Thank you so much, Floyd! You just save me a ton of work and it is so appreciated.

Thanks for the video. It was spot on and save me lots of time. Keep up the good work!

Excellent video. My previous 2012 s60 i messed up, and finished with duct tape. Now with 2015 s60 i finally did it. Thank you.

Very helpful video, many thanks. Precisely what I needed for my 2018.

Thanks for taking the time to document the steps...........one thing I might suggest........I have seen at least one other video where they suggest just removing the fuse box cover instead of having to remove the entire fuse box. Still provides access. Not sure why Volvo engineers had to make this so difficult. On my Toyotas, it was about a 5-minute process and just required one screw and removing the glove box and there was the filter access.........eezy peezy.

This was terrific, well done! There's a 2min video which simply can't work... as you point out, you have to detach the entire fuse box... no way around it and, because of your video, no big deal. Thanks so much... I'm reminded as to why I haven't done this in about 4 years 😅😂😅😊. But, all done... fresh oil, oil and air filters + cabin... cabin was the worst. Thank you.

Absolutely great video. Saved me a lot of frustration, especially when it only pays .4 of an hour.

Thank you for the video I'll follow it when I change my car cabin air filter soon

Worked perfectly. Extremely informative video

I wanted to get mine replaced after the worst of our forest fires were over in B.C. The mechanic quoted me 250 (fair) but also mentioned that the technician has a good chance of breaking a plastic piece while doing it, and that this plastic piece would be $600 so 850 total. After watching this I feel like he was taking me for a ride, the first clip is the only thing that matches this description and you seemed to have no trouble. Thanks for giving me the confidence to do it myself 10/10 tutorial!

Never would of got the fuse box without your vidoe Thank You

thank a lots man, i just finished this job following you, some suffer that you told

Thank you so much for the video. It helped my allot ❤️

Great job and great video!

Thanks! I'm trying it next week

Thanks for a really useful video.

Amazing video...thank you so much for a better understanding of where and how to replace this. What was Volvo thinking...;lol

That was helpful-thank you! Yes, especially the tab location (as time before I managed to wiggle the relay out somehow without pressing that tab). I hate to write it, but I think you shoved that filter in backwards, I think the tabs on each side of the filter should face the engine.

Marvelously helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to show each step and for recommending pulling the fuse block. I gave up the first time because I didn't think of doing that.

Thank you very much you made my monday afternoon

Bet thats never been changed before plenty main dealers will “change” your pollen filter knowing that your gonna struggle to check . Great video bud

many thanks for this video timed this task to 15 mins to complete the job total cost £12.80 for the filter

I can't thank you enough for this video. I was able to get the new filter in there. It definitely requires some work to get down there. To my surprise, there was no filter to replace. The housing was empty!!! That's what you get for buying a used car.

Congrats for Volvo's engineers! How to make a cabin filter so difficult to change. Even the Hyundai i20's can be replaced much more easily than this.

Great video. Had to take a look back twice at it now since I've been doing my own maintenance myself. I wish Volvo did not design this like this because this is very hard compared to a typical car

Thanks for the video👍

Cut a piece of card or thin plastic the same size as the filter. Slip the card part way into the container first then the new filter will slide in without snagging. Don't forget to remove the card!

Nice job!

Thanks for the tip about that black fuse box!

it took me 2 hours to figure out how to get the cover off of the filter and actually squeeze the filter in there. i’ve never been more frustrated in my life.

Thanks for focusing on that clip on the fuse box if it wasn't for you I want to be able to replace that in cabin air filter

Good job!

Good job, thank you sir

Great Video Floyd,

Thank You!

Thanks from Finland,it helped me

Thanks for confirming my suspicion that the whole fuse block needed to come off to get this thing in there only partially accordioned. I saw other vids where they just jammed it in [facepalm]. It's still a terrible Chinesed design.

Great video, thank you! That is one ignorant engineer who came up with that design!

Thank you. Most of the comments were from folks who will give this a try. Personally, I stopped at 7-minutes. I don't want to fiddle with a fuse box. This would take me hours, and I know my mechanic can probably do this with eyes closed.

the god damn fuse box! Volvo S80 2014 - Just removed the top cover and folded down the fuse box. I have not taken away the cover in the middle.

Can anyone help on a RHD version of the car? I went to do this job last night, but on the nearside of the car, the plastic around the center console protrudes much further than on the offside of the car, actually going past and covering the bottom half of the filter "door". In the passenger footwell. Everything else is the same apart from that. I am assuming on a LHD car this plastic is the same - just that it is on the drivers side, where obviously the filter is not.

The fuse harness on mine must be glued on! I found the place on top of the harness, but no matter how hard I push down it won't release. Will try again tomorrow. Frustrating!

Wow this was painful to watch. Still I admire your gumption. Thank you for taking us on your journey 😎

holy farts that is needlessly complicated by volvo...

כול הכבוד 🎉

Do you know if this will actually work on the 2019 model? The S60 was redesigned in 2018 so it might be different.

Brilliant engineering, I wont do this myself. It takes only 10 seconds for me to remove air filter on my Toyota Wish.

At least my TDI Beetle is up top! Haven't done this to the S80 yet.....

Still a terrible design but much better than the V50. In the V50 it's on the drivers side and you had to unbolt the throttle then remove screws to open the cover. Still had to bend and fight to get the filters in and out. Traded my '06 V50 for an '18 V60 Cross Country last week.

Alot like my 07 Nissan Altima. A PITA to remove and install.

Good video though

Tip for non USA. Right hand drive is more difficult

Pls share the part number. Thank you

this is a bit tedious but I own the car now lol. Did this on my other car and it was breeze.

This does not apply to 2019 S60 Volvos. The vehicle was re-designed for 2019 and the cabin filter is completely different.

Wow , I was complaining on Ford engineering, I guess Volvo uses the same engineers

I feel like I have to crush it to get it in.

Thanks for the video. I would never have imagined this would be so difficult. Dumbest car design ever…

Whoever designed this setup should be tried in International Criminal Court.

Curl it into a p and put it in

Why did they make this so complicated to replace?

That was a pain in the ass. I’m not doing that again. I’ll breathe poison I don’t really care

All of this to replace the cabin air filter? My wife's 2018 Mazda 3 took less than 2 minutes to replace the cabin air filter.

Volvo is a criminal for putting the filter there. I still can't get the fuse box out as I can't get a good grip on the tab. (2018 S60)

It’s by far the worst designed cabin filter placement on any car I have ever performed this on

Just when I thought I hate my Volkswagen cause everything is backwards engineered and I see this. I’m just gonna have to start buying american cars. I feel like If I try this, I won’t be able to put everything back correctly. Lol

That has to be some of the worst design engineering by Volvo to make it that difficult to access the cabin air filter. Unbelievable 😂

Most rediculous on the planet stupid poor engineering.. crazy!! I'm facing the same challenge to change it in our R-Design 2016 Platinum T6 S60 Volvo.

Pas pratique du tout l'emplacement

Blair Witch Project has nothing on you...

Paska video

Absolute garbage for the person having to work on this scrub car
