2010 C5 cabin/pollen filter

Unread post by andy_k »

Here we go again.....

Having watched several Youtube videos and removing the side panel in the passenger footwell, I half expected to see a black box with a filter in it behind said panel.

Nope!

This is what I'm greeted by - not a space anywhere the size of the filter - I'm obviously looking in the wrong place but......where is it?

Your thoughts, suggestions and comments are appreciated

Cheers

Not sure where that is but if the filter is in the same place as the C5 2 it's to the right of the footwell above the transmission tunnel behind the carpeted area and up.

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

that's in the passenger footwell - forward of the centre console and above the carpeted area

When you're putting the new filter in, you might find you can make more space by twisting off the pipe that directs air into the footwell (it's up behind the glovebox, to the right of the footwell light). EDIT: You can actually see the grey foam on the end of the pipe in the third and fourth photos above

Also, get a pound shop feather duster to sweep the crap out of the filter box before fitting the new filter

well, that's a job I don't want to do again :)

it was a pain to get out, the new one went in a lot easier than expected - only one clip broke so thanks for the screw holes Citroen.

That locating screw for the side panel is a PITA - I'm no lover of small Torx fixings.

Thanks for the help folks
