The new filter is a genuine Volvo filter that had the same part number as was in there. I know there are also charcoal filters available but not sure if they would fit into the housingvtl wrote: 09 Mar 2023, 06:48 You have a better choice in Europe: Mahle LAO54, with antimicrobial layer. We've had it in US for some time, too, but I can't find it anymore. Even had the same LAO series filters in my big Toyotas, no longer sold as well.
What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

Your filter is charcoal. But there's an even better filter. They all fit: pollen, charcoal, antimicrobial...P80GLT wrote: 09 Mar 2023, 07:57 The new filter is a genuine Volvo filter that had the same part number as was in there.

Do you guys find the charcoal filters to be too restrictive?

I just don't have hardly any airflow with charcoal filters. I need as much as possible in the texas summers.

I'd be looking at A/C evaporator inspection. Also door actuators get bad in this car, you may get cooled air mixing with hot.ZionXIX wrote: 10 Mar 2023, 07:15 I just don't have hardly any airflow with charcoal filters. I need as much as possible in the texas summers.

A VIDA/DiCE will allow you to run a CCM test; the steps are easy to follow.
The charcoal cabin filter traps finer particles and odors in addition to what a plain pollen cabin filter captures.

Turned my DRLs off with Vida, why did Volvo not keep the 850 system where you could press a tiny button on the headlamp switch to alternate between on and off, finding it in Vida for the V70 was a PITA.

I think you’re just looking for any excuse to post pictures of that beautiful car! How many miles on it? It looks brand new, I’m super jealous.
