Cabin filter ds7

Unread post by darklordmick »

Anyone know where it is in the car ?

Can’t find any videos on a ds7 (in fact there doesn’t seem to be any info on the ds7 online or manuals )
I can only find ds4 vids which shows it behind the glove box and you have to pull half your car apart to change it ?

There are 2 filters and these are located in the inside of the vehicle and should be on the right of the passenger side footwell. It will necessitate removing the side trim panel and suitable contortionist manoeuvres to locate the area, extract and reinsert them.

I can help you with the correct part numbers and a visual diagram of the parts of the system, but not a procedure for actually replacing them.

If this will help please see below:

If you need an original, genuine part number or part diagram, and can't already find the info you need on the Forum, we do ask for a membership upgrade for official parts data as we are in turn charged for this. It will cover you for future part number requests for up to 2 years, so excellent value.

If interested, links are below, then pop your VIN up.

Thanks for the reply

After taking my glove box out and a lot of faff it wasn’t there
So went to the driver side took the side trim off by the foot rest near the brake peddle
Then took off the trim under the steering wheel
Disconnected the light connector
Found the black cover tucked right up in side

Managed to get the 2 filters out using long nosed pliers
Don’t think they have ever been changed , they were black as hell
And replaced with new ones
Getting the new ones in was harder than getting the old ones out

I have to say that is THE dumbest place to put a cabin filter
This should be something the customer should be able to do as easy as filling your car

But got there in the end

👍

Most PSA cars have them on the left side, so I'll remember that for future ref.

Our 308 has them (a pair) on the RH side as well.
