How to replace the cabin filter on a Volvo C30. The same procedure also applied to the Volvo S40, Volvo V50, and Volvo C70 models as well. A dirty or plugged cabin filter can cause poor heating or ac performance. It’ll reduce airflow, cause foul odours, and can put excessive strain on your hvac fan. #volvo #volvoc30 #oemtools

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-3/8” ratchet
-10mm 3/8” drive
-7mm 3/8” drive
-3” extension 3/8” drive
-vacuum
-light
Procedure:
-move the seat back as far as possible
-then pull out and push up your telescopic steering as far as possible
-I removed the floor mat, you can vacuum the area if you wish and laid down a shop coat
-remove the gas pedal which is held in with three 10mm nuts
-to disconnect the electrical connector which is on the right side, push in the tang and push up the connector
-remove the gas pedal
pull the carpet back and there will be three 7mm bolts which need to be removed on the duct cap
-after those bolts have been removed, you can now pop off the cover
-grab onto the cabin filter and remove it from the duct
-using a vacuum, clean up the debris from the duct
-this should be done so it doesn’t plug the new filter or debris doesn’t wander into other parts of the hvac system
-compare the old and new filters to ensure they are the same
-the cabin filter does have a specific orientation for flow
-typically it does have a flow arrow, demonstrating which way the air moves, so that arrow should be pointing towards the rear of the car
-install the new filter
-clip the duct cap back into place, the edge facing the rear of the car tucks inside of the duct
-reinstall the fasteners for the duct cap
-reinstall the gas pedal and tighten up the nuts
-then clip in the wire connector
-you may need to vacuum up any left over debris on the carpet and you’re done

Just replaced my cabin air filter on my S40, took too long, oh well
go to the same spot, but oposite side. There you find where you shud open it. you'll find 2 small flaps to push together, and then bull the hatch.
THIS IS NOT WHERE THE CABIN AIR FILTER IS LOCATED ON A 2000 C70 CONVERTIBLE. ON A 2000 VOLVO C70 CONVERTIBLE IT IS UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS REMOVE TWO SCREWS AND DISCONNECT THE DRAIN HOSE, THEN LIFT UP THE PLASTIC PANEL, SLIDE THE OLD ONE OUT AND PUT THE NEW ONE IN. IT IS A SIMPLE 5 MINUTE JOB.
What a nightmare – really stupid engineering. I was wondering why my garage charge $100 to change this air filter. Now I know. Thanks for the video – I would have gone crazy DIYing….
FORD Not Volvo lol
By removing gas pedal, i'm guessing it doesn't need any calibration or such?
Helpful! If you are RHD you don’t need to remove the pedal but you will need to unbolt the fuse box (two plastic screws). The fuse box bracket can be a bit of a pain, but I would leave it in and persevere!
What a stupid ass place to put a cabin filter, literally the only thing that Volvo made easy on these cars was headlight removal
Not the same on the RHD C70
