Review on ๐Ÿ” Mann-Filter CUK 2855 Cabin Filter with Activated Charcoal for Volvo models - Enhance Your Engine's Performance by Ashwin Drollinger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits XC90 with or without cabin filter system - but designed for those who don't have it

This filter is designed for Volvo without cabin filter system " ( The air recirculation button is on "automatic -manually" set), but can also be used with Volvos (S60s, older S80s I think, and definitely XC90s) with a "cabin filter system" if you put that filter in the slot closest to the passenger seat , and you don't mind having the "charcoal" filter part of the filter that absorbs odours. There are two slots in the Volvo cabin filter area. Non-charcoal filter - example Mann part number CU2855. Farthest from the passenger seat (am closest to the firewall) is a 1.5" thick carbon filter slot - an example is Mann part number CUK2855. ter - Inserts into the rear slot in the filter compartment I (in the direction of the fire wall) used. Without "cabin filter system" use thinner 1" pleated filter - Inserts into the front slot in the filter area (towards the passenger seat). Any filter will work in any version of your car, many Volvo boards point this out, and even my stupid dealer installed a standard (not carbon) filter in my XC90 which was fitted with a 'cabin filtration system'. It's molded plastic (at least the last one I used) and this standard CU2855 filter uses a piece of foam at the top to match the offset cut at the top of the filter. Make sure you put the replacement filter back in. correctly as you can easily compress the foam to accommodate the wrong airflow direction. One returned to the site a few months later.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • I don't really like it, everything is fine
