Owners of Peugeot 308 hatchbacks do not always change the ventilation system filter in a timely manner - although the level of comfort inside the cabin largely depends on it. With the help of filter elements, the air is cleaned of small particles, dust and pollen, and sometimes also of unpleasant odors and gases. And the absence or contamination of this consumable material negatively affects not only the health of the driver and passengers, but also the safety of the entire vehicle. Therefore, replacing the cabin filter of a Peugeot 308 is a type of work that any car owner has to periodically perform.
Where is the SF on the Peugeot 308?
In the Peugeot 308, the cabin filter is located under the glove box. However, you need to get to it not from the interior, but from the hood. To get to it, you need to open it and free access to the place where it is installed.

How do you know when the cabin filter needs to be replaced?
The time to replace the filter can be determined based on regulations. It is believed that it is enough to do this once a year. You can base this on the number of kilometers traveled. If the mileage has increased by 20-30 thousand kilometers since the last replacement, then the time has come for replacement.
If the vehicle is used in difficult conditions, then these standards can be halved.
If the filter is faulty. For a driver who spends a significant part of his time in the cabin, this can lead not only to discomfort, but also to harm his health.
Some drivers determine the need for replacement using the following signs, which indicate that it has already exhausted its service life:
- There are clearly foreign odors in the cabin for no apparent reason.
- Windows often fog up during the warm season.
- The car's control panel and the inside of the windshield constantly become dirty.
- In summer the cabin is constantly hot and stuffy, and in winter it is cold.
If at least one of these signs can be observed, the cabin air filter must be replaced as soon as possible.
Peugeot 408 engine oil change, cabin and air filter. Photo and video lesson
We have a Peugeot 408, manufactured in 2012, with a 1.6 liter engine, mileage 63 thousand km, for scheduled maintenance. It will be necessary to change the engine oil, air filter and cabin filter. We will show you a detailed photo and video tutorial on how to do it yourself as quickly as possible.
Changing the oil in the Peugeot 408 engine
Open the hood and unscrew the oil filler plug. It got a little stuck on us, so we had to use pliers to unscrew it:
To make it easier for us to get to the oil filter, loosen the air intake clamp, then remove it:
To avoid staining anything, place an unnecessary rag underneath the filter. Unscrew the filter housing cover with a 27mm head:
We take out the old filter element, clean the cover with carburetor cleaner, then remove the old rubber seal from it. We will have a new oil filter from Z ekkert, order number OF-4059E (a new O-ring is included in the kit). Insert the filter into the lid until it clicks, put on a new o-ring:
Put it in place and screw on the lid. We lift the car, there is no need to unscrew the crankcase protection, there is a special technical hole for unscrewing the drain plug. Unscrew it using a 8mm hexagon:
Place a container where the used oil will be drained. After the last drops have drained, tighten the cap. Wash away any leaks using carburetor cleaner. We lower the car and fill in new oil. In our case, we used TOTAL 9000 5w40, order number 148597 (4 liter canister). Fill all 4 liters at once:
Replacing the air filter in Peugeot 408
The filter here is narrow and long. Unscrew the fasteners in a circle using a T25 Torx bit:
Use a 10mm socket to unscrew the central bolt:
First we take out the cover, and only then the filter element. We plug the air intake in the air filter housing with any clean cloth or something similar and blow it out with a compressor:
If you have the opportunity, you can simply vacuum the area and then wipe it with a damp cloth. We take a new filter, we have it from Zekkert, order number LF-1558. We place it in the seat and adjust it to ensure it fits evenly. Close the lid.
Selecting a new filter element
If the filter is changed on time, it will protect the air in the car from insects, soot, dust, and exhaust gases. Several types of filters are offered for sale:
- Single-layer devices protect against relatively large debris. They are the cheapest, but the quality of their work is low and they will need to be changed more often. These filters do not remove gases from the air.
- Double-layer filters allow you to retain not only large debris (branches, insects), but also small debris (smoke, soot).
- There are three-layer products. They provide the maximum degree of air filtration, but do not prevent the penetration of gases.
- Combination cabin filters can also be used. They use combined carbon. This variety is the highest quality and most expensive. The use of coal not only prevents particles and debris from entering the cabin, but also purifies the air from harmful gases.
You need to choose the option that suits the driver to the greatest extent.
It is not recommended to restore a part that has already exhausted its service life. In some cases, an exception to the rule may be a single-layer filter. However, this can only be considered as a temporary measure.

- On the left side under the glass you need to remove four clips. They need to be pryed off with a screwdriver and pulled up.
- Then the soundproofing protection is removed.
- Now you can see the plastic plug for the cabin filter. Its front plate has a rectangular shape with rounded edges. You need to pull it smoothly and forcefully, holding the handle. During this you need to be careful - the plug pops out sharply and can hit your hand.

Engine Peugeot 408 150 hp
You can often hear that all French cars have difficulties with repairs. Let's consider this hypothesis using the example of the Peugeot 408, produced with an eye on Russia.
The Peugeot 408 can be equipped with three types of engines: TU5 with 110 hp, supercharged E6 with 150 hp, and naturally aspirated EP6 with 110 hp. and 120 hp The power of the naturally aspirated engine varies depending on the type of gearbox - a manual transmission produces only 110 hp, and an automatic one produces 120 hp.
The timing chain installed on all types of engines is durable and reliable, requiring virtually no maintenance during its entire service life. If the timing chain drive does require repair, a number of special tools will be required.
To change the belt on an EP6 inflatable engine, you need to reduce the tension and pull the water pump drive roller to the side by removing the holder on the tensioner housing. The service life of the belt is 80 thousand km.
The ignition coil of the naturally aspirated EP6 engine is located under a finishing cover fixed between two fasteners. On a supercharged engine, the bobbins are in plain sight. To replace the spark plugs, a 14mm multi-faceted spark plug head is required. They should be changed every 40-50 thousand km.
The Peugeot 408 got the turbodiesel from its predecessor. The manufacturer recommends checking the timing belt drive every 180 thousand km. This is after about 7 years of operation. However, any service station will tell you that you should not wait for the critical point and will advise you to change the belt after 120 thousand km. It is also worth inspecting the two tensioner pulleys and the pump. The belt drive contains marks and keys - any experienced driver will be able to inspect and repair it himself. In principle, the arrangement of parts in the engine compartment of a diesel engine is not much different from its gasoline counterpart, so there should not be any special problems. The service life of a particular consumable in a diesel engine is similar to that of a gasoline engine.
The air filter is located behind the engine. For a naturally aspirated engine, its top cover is secured with seven fasteners. A supercharged engine cannot boast of a large number of clamps, but removing the cover to replace the air filter is much more difficult - you need to unscrew the intake pipe and move the brake system expansion tank.
The fuel filter of the inflatable engine is remote and located near the tank. It should be changed after 40 thousand km. Fuel pipes are routed through plastic fasteners. For naturally aspirated engines, the filter most often comes complete with a fuel pump. Service life is not indicated.
