2001 XJ8 VDP
Where is the cabin filter located and how do you replace it?

Thanks,
Thomas

 

Few, if any, US cars were delivered with a cabin filter. Its location is below the grill, below the windshield on the passenger side. You have to remove the wiper arms, which requires a $10 tool, and 4 or 6 screws to see if you have a filter.

 

The cabin filter is not 1 filter but rather 4 separate filters located on the 4 air intake under the windshield wiper trim

 

This is information from my Jaguar Dealer parts Manager. This is not submitted to start a great debate or contradict prior information. I'm just simply passing on what I was told.

There are NO filters (cabin or alike) of any kind manufactured on XJ8 Jaguars before 2004.

Thanks,
Thomas

 

That just show that your part manager don't know what he is taking about.
The part # for the filter was: JLM 20670.
I said "was" because they have been NLA ( No Longer Available) since at least 2001, even if they still list them

I do have them on my 01 XJR-R

 

Fact: The 2001 XJ8 DOES NOT! have a cabin filter.

 

OK then, there is no cabin filter. What are the pieces of black foam flying out of my AC dashboard vents? Are they something different? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Pretty commun problem on jags, the foam that you see flying out of the vents is the seals on many of the flap doors

 

Thank you. That sets my mind at ease. (Temporarily )

 

What about XK8s? Do we have cabin filters on the early models? I could not locate one.....

 

I ordered and received a cabin air filter for the 2001 Jaguar XK8 that I just bought for my wife. Can someone please tell me how to replace it. Ron
