cabin filter

On my XC70 my2006 is the cabin filter on the drivers side or the passenger side?

Just changed mine, if you look on YouTube there are a couple of videos that show you how to do it. Either side of the footwell light you'll find a torx screw. Undo these, remove the trim. Cabin filter lives in there, accessed by a lid fixed with four more torx screws. Two closest to you are easy, to get to the other two you'll need to employ the services of a gymnast.

For the two rear torx screws I recommend a common bit adaptor for a drill.

These are the things which have a 1/4" shank for the drill's chuck and a socket to accept 1/4" hex drive sockets of every description.

Wrap it in rubber bands for grip and twist away. Don't strong-arm these torx screws as they're going into very soft plastic.

Or use one of those flexible drive things. Or a torx bit directly in a small ratchet, that's what my gymnast used.

Kira, I'm sorry that I didn't reply to your message, I'm not worthy of being allowed that privilege yet.

I looked at a YouTube of the filter being changed and it's on the opposite side? Maybe it's to do with lhd/rhd?
Anyhow, thanks all, I'm going to try and get in there now, wish my safe return!
