As soon as I heard the accent, I knew this video would be totally legit. Great job this was perfect.

I am a dealership mechanic, and when we do the cabinfilters we just pull the carpet down, unclip the fusebox and pull it aside. It is a little tricky in the beginning, but we get the entire job done in 1-2 minutes. So if you want to spare some time, don't touch any tools

Great explanation on cleaning the AC evaporator. I don't think new viewers realize you showed how to change the cabin filter earlier without removing the glove compartment. This was primarily to get to the evaporator and I would not have known what type of cleaner to buy.

Certainly the best instruction I have seen on this job. Thanks.

I just purchased a used 2013 XC70... and need to learn about with the preventative maintenance of my ''new'' car. I have watched a number of your videos on Volvo...........................THEY ARE EXCELLENT ! Thank you so very much.

Thank you so much for posting this guide ! I just followed the steps and was able to change the cabin filter today. Took quite some time but I enjoyed it. Please keep posting, you helped me as a Volvo owner & enthusiast to get the courage and the guidance to do "little" jobs like this on my car and of course to save quite a bit of money at the same time.

Thanks for your help, great video. I swear some of these European car companies design things in such a way as to make it more difficult for us do-it-yourselfers so we give up and pay the dealer to do simple jobs like this! In my Toyota, I can throw a new cabin filter in in 2 minutes in the parking lot at the auto parts store. In my Volvo, you'd think I was doing a new head gasket.

Excellent video and as usual you explained all of the steps in a logical fashion. Many thanks, I will be changing my cabin filter over the weekend as you demonstrated.

As a owner change cabin filter myself, i have to say this cabin filter position is very inhuman....

Did this today, the video was super-helpful! I also removed the glovebox after I realized it will be really difficult/impossible to put the new filter back in without heavily squeezing it. With the glovebox half out, it was super-easy to put the filter in*. Therefore I would recommend to take the glove-box out too, it's just a few screws and not much additional effort in comparison. I also didn't use the Liqui-Moly-foam but another german product called "Auprotec® Viro Vaporizer Pro". It is liquid and alcohol based and applied in a thin, strong vapor through a 4-way metal nozzle which sprays sideways. So it is easy to applicate and it evaporates after a few minutes. Therefore there was no need to dry out the filter-box before putting back in the filter. I just waited till all of the solution had evaporated. *In my case, I had additional wires connected to the back of the glovebox (For the locking/valet parking function). But it's only necessary to pull it half out to free up the access to the filter-box.

Great timing! Just did first oil change and hadn't gotten around to the cabin filter replacement yet. The air filter looked bran new, so I figured the cabin filter was probably fine too. It is quite a job to access compared to most other cars! But now that I've seen this I'm going to proceed with cleaning the evaporator coils as you recommended. Thanks

This video helped me a great deal, I was able to complete the job without issues.

all your video are crisp and clear and good instruction for the follower. thank you

I did this the other day when I changed my engine oil, though I didn't take out my glove compartment. I just disconnect the fuse block next to the cabin air filter door, pop it loose, and move it out of the way. Take the side panel off of the console, take the door off of the cabin air filter compartment and kind of "roll-up" the filter as I take it out. "Roll-up" the new one again and then get the one end started into the compartment slot... then it slides right it. I was using the Volvo branded filters from the dealer, but found the Mann CUK 2733 to be the same filter (they manufacture it for Volvo) and I get it cheaper from Amazon.

*It’s: Pretty. Quiet. **Fastly.Cool** in my room. Works wellLittle of hassle to install was TOTALLY worth it. I’m loving it so far. I recommend watching the installation video and taking it slow~*

I plan on doing this for my 2010 XC60 asap..thanks for the video!

This is most annoying part of maintenance. Changing cabin filter is a pain. Thanks for your videos🤜😁

Volvo does a full service of my car once every year, and they change this filter among other stuff. once a few weeks after a service i thought the air was bad in the car so i decided to check the filter, to my surprise the filter was so dirty and black that the employe of volvo where i bought a new filter said it looked like it had not been changed for years... now i change the filter myself each spring and fall, the filter is like 10 bucks and the work takes a maximum of 20 minutes and its worth it.

What a PITA just to change cabin filter. Great job as always!!!

Just followed this guide on my 2012 XC70, pretty much same experience, except one of the 8mm was missing (i blame previous owner/dealer). Video helped alot, thanks!

Very good video. The MiST Ultrasonic Cleaning unit also works well to prevent bad smell in the ventilation. We use it at my work, and i like it.

Большое спасибо за ваше видео. Купил себе Вольво и теперь кручу гайки по вашим видео в гараже спасибо

Can’t wait for u to do the serpentine belt “ great video always

I didnt even know it had one!!!! wow i can only imagine how mine looks lol but thanks to this video I will do that soon. thank you Sir!

Excellent video. Made the job much easier. Big Thanks for all the advice awesome. 👏👏👏😀

If i remember good on our XC70s pre facelift it is easier to replace we dont need to remove the black block. But this facelift is much more nicer in cabin. Great video my friend you have technic like a professional cameraman :D

Great video Yuri as always, bolszija spasiba !!!

Thanks for the helpful video tutorial.

Hi, you helped me a lot. I watched many other videos but you've been the only one who showed the button on top to release the fusebox. I tried several times without knowing this and it did not work.

Thanks for your video. It helped me a lot to figure out how to remove the rectangular black fuse box. For removing the glove box, I got it half-way out and realized that there is a large wire loom attached to it in the back, unlike your case. (Mine is a 2013 XC70 T6 platinum) So not able to take it completely out. Due to the space constraints, it was a struggle to push the new air filter in. (I wished I was able to remove the glove box...^^). Again, THANK YOU!

I like how you talked more in this video and used less music.

I just finished changing my cabin air filter on our 2013 XC 70. This video was extremely helpful !! The tip about pressing a button [you can't see] on the top of a ''mystery box'' made this operation possible..... from your other videos it looks like you live in Winnipeg, in the Red River valley. I would send you a case of Labatt Blue, if I knew your address.... Thanks again man !

Thank you for posting this video.

Thank you for mentioning how to pull the fuse box by pressing the button on the top. Other videos did not mention this key step.

Nice and good presented howe to do the job. 5-stars.

Great idea to clean evaporator!

Excellent work !

Nice tutorial. Was strugling with the fusebox.

I love my V50 1.6Drive Lux Estate. In the UK it costs me £20 a year road tax, it does 56mpg, never dropped below that. It left a friends 2.0 Volvo way behind, he admitted he couldn't keep up at xxx mph. My only complaint is the seat foam, at 77k miles it needs replacing. Thanks for the video, I need to replace my filter!

Super video again, these are really helping me with small tasks on my uk spec v60, maybe you could come change my grille for me 😜

This video was helpful, thanks

Nice Job !!! BRAVO !!!

on my 2009 XC70 I did not have to remove the glove box or a junction box like in the video, I guess I have a different electrical layout? All I had to do was pull the side panel off and pull down the carpet and the cabin air filter was there in the same spot on your video. I still found it valuable just in case I ever had to take the glove box out, thanks!

Awesome tutorial,☝🏽👌👍👏🏿

Greetings from Brasil!!!!!! Tks for sharing!!!!!

Thank you fro making this video!

thanks man! great job!

Awesome tutorial☝🏽👌👍👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Love your videos! My AC has a weird smell sometimes. I think the drain hose is clogged, can you point out which hose that is? Thanks!

very educative .thank you regards

Excellent video - thanks. You can do this without removing the glove box and side panel, as I did, but it does make access a little more difficult. Also, it appears that disconnecting that plug to the fuse box resets the windows and they no longer automatically go up.

Thanks for sharing 👍🏼 Am I right in thinking this cabin filter job and location are the same on the XC60 ?

I followed this video to replace the cabin filter and clean the evaporator. I could not remove the glove box after all screws were out. I couldn’t figure out what was holding it, so couldn’t remove the side penal either. I did everything else with keeping the box there. It was not easy but I made it. I own 2011 xc60 T. Maybe different model is not the same in this job.

Thanks!

Your videos are great! I would like to ask is it on the rhside for all Volvo's? I drive in UK, So my xc70 is RHD.

Thanks for mentioning two clips at the bottom of the glove box...nearly broke it trying to pull it out...

Damnn Changing "Cabin Filter " Is a bloody Mission mate I drive Volvo S80 , 2011 plate Really like your videos One Request;- Please Make another video on "How to Put back on Dashboard"?

On the p2 you just have to take off the kick panel under the glove box to change the cabin air filter. Can't believe the Volvo engineers made it so you have to take off the glove box just to change the air filter on the p3.

Thank you so much!

Hi, any advice- the spare connector- 1:27-1:29- do you think it could be preinstalled cable for front parking sensors? Thank you, David

I did this today but not this way. First you dont need to dismantle the glovecompartment. I started with a vaccumcleaner because it was full of shit, leafes, bugs and seeds. Then I read on the ac cleaner from CRC that I should let the foam work for 15 minutes and then turn on max heat and max fan (no recirculation!) Pull down all windows and open the hood and let the engine run for 20 minutes. Thats what it says on the CRC I used so I followed their recommendation. Quite different from how its done in the video!

Thank you

WELL DONE THANKYOU

You Do Not have to remove the glove box! Mine wouldn’t come out with all the six screws and four rubber stoppers. Just remove the fuse mount, peel back the inner liner and remove the cabin air filter plastic guard then the filter itself. Inspect, clean with cleaner spray wait 10-15 and run it 10-15 like he says. Replace air filter and Wallah!!

Excellent video. If you don't mind, what model and year is your Volvo?

Good stuff thx

Thank you so much! Can you do an update on Volvo xc90 2020 model?

Yes please do a serpitine belt change. Thanks.

Hi Great channel. I'm hoping you can give me some advice. My P3 D5 is overheating and no cabin hot air. Where are the pipes located in the engine bay that feed and return to the heater matrix? are they accessed from under the car? any advice on removing the heater radiator? thanks

I think, Volvo had never thought about need to changing cabin filter. I expected that, you'd have disassembled whole car, including the engine.

My 2007 P3 S80 is kind of like this too, what a bunch of f_ _ked up design. I change this cabin filter every 2 years or so. Takes me a good 20 minutes just to replace this darn thing. My wife's 2013 Kia Optima takes me only 2 minutes from start to finish. Well done, Volvo.

Interesting. I wonder if cleaning the evap coils and changing the filter will solve the problem of no ac while car is parked. When driving it blows nice and cold.

I did this today. You are pushing a TAB, not a BUTTON. This video helps get that block out to put in the new filter.

Holly shit man !!! To many cables and stuff there man , no fucking way ... I won't try this !

Hi, owner V70, 2009, is it better to cool or switch to heating as per instructions? Still have a smell 🤔

Thanks-Saved me a ton of $$--Easy to follow your video. Did you get any help from your baby daughter there? (:-

Good video!! Thanks

Volvosweden Good job. What is the connector on the left storage box compartment at 1:30? What is this?

Thanks for the video! Where did you buy the Liqui-Moly ? I live in GTA (Greater Toronto Area).

Easy as pie to change the cabin filters on my old BMW e38 7 Series, on the V70, an absolute pig of a job, but cheaper than the many jobs I get on my moon mile e61 M5! my two estates are somewhat different, a D5 V70 and an e61 M5, the M5 is just nuts, the Volvo is the one I respect the most, whilst the M5 is incredible, its as able to guarantee a bill as the V70 is guaranteed to start....

It makes me a minute to change that in my Toyota Wish.

Brilliant video! Changing the pollen filter on my 1994 Volvo 480 is a matter of seconds, but this almost seems to be an engine out job... Have you ever tried to change the IAQS (Air Quality Sensor)? It must be located somewhere near the air filter, on the interior fan unit. The sensor is broken in nearly every Volvo over 6 years old and the dealer charges a small fortune, so I'm going to try myself in my 2011 V70 together with a pollen filter change.

Quick question. After I finished everything, I noticed that when I try to roll up or down the windows, I have to hold the button. If I release, it stops rolling. In the past I just need to push or pull the button once and the window will keep rolling. Is there some kind of system reset I need to do?

@volvosweden where do you direct your AC cleaner hose - is it up to the engine side, or up the dash side? Or do you just spray it, where the filter was located with?

I could not pull out the glove box on 2013 xc70 as there was a wire bundle somehow connected....

I have a c30... But previously I watched a video and it can be released by the Pilot and the co-pilot side? Or the C30 only from the left?

Can you do this from the other side on right hand drive model ? ie, glove box on left hand side ??

Thanks. But i'm driving s60, where is the coil ??

Hey there.. I`m another super thankful subscriber from germany, with a "new" 12 year old v70. I just replaced the dirty filter with your help. I have two questions though. 1. The box that you detached and bent over the carpet was missing in my car. Do you know what its for? Also, underneath my carpet was a bunch of water. Carpet pretty wet. Any idea where the water could come from? Thanks

Tiny window A/C. Works well and keeps room cool. Unlike some other purchasers my unit arrived with no damages. Appears to be made of quality materials, easy to install and fairly inexpensive.

Even though you made this job look very smooth and easy, it still looks very complicated. Seems like a lot of work for once a year. I work on cars myself a lot and my experience tells me that disassembling and removing this many parts never goes smoothly and as planned. There is a high chance that something always breaks, doesn't remove easily and/or doesn't fit properly, resulting in a 10 min job to be 4 hours. Anyway great video, you show how it's done.

Hello v50. Is the cabin filter accessible to both the driver and passenger? I was always having a hard time reaching it from the driver's side.

Two questions: 1. When I insert the new filter, the filter has an arrow indicating the direction of the airflow. Should I have the arrow pointing to the head or the tail of the car? 2. If the AC drain clogs, the cleaning foam won't come out. How do I know if the AC drain is clogged, and how do I fix that?

I went in and changed my cabin filter today, but my car did not have a connector block at all. Should I be concerned? Thank you

This is crazy. In my Kona it takes 2 minutes and two nubs to change a cabin filter.

Hi I have a problem with the electric opening of the trunk of my volvo xc60, very often fails to open do you have any advice or procedure for correct settings? thank you so much

Is the filter and evaporator in the same location on right hand drive cars?

Hello, do you know what the unused connector, (next to the glove compartments light connector) could be used for? Thanx, appreciate your videos they are very helpfull.

Wow the cabin filter on a S40 is do much easier to change. Like a 5 minute job.... I wonder why the new cars take so much time and effort to maintain compared to older cars....

AC is very cold, but I have FOG coming out of the vents. Any ideas>
