The car manufacturer notes that replacing the cabin filter Nissan qashqai must be performed every 30,000 kilometers or every two years (whichever comes first). But in the conditions of Russia, nothing will remain from the filter in two years, so it has to be changed more often. A dirty filter is a source unpleasant odors... It also leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the interior heater. Owner reviews indicate that it is advisable to change the filter for Nissan Qashqai in Russia every six months.
Original filter salon Nissan Qashqai is designated by code 27277 - EN000. The manufacturer also offers a similar element marked 27277 - EN025. Finding a cabin filter for this crossover will not be difficult, since the car is quite popular in our market. Analogs from third-party companies are also on sale. Recall that a similar element is used on Nissan x-trail T31.
Preparation
To complete the work we need:
- screwdrivers (slotted and Phillips);
- Lantern;
- new filter element;
- patience…
You will definitely need the latter, since everything is not so easy to do, in comparison with other cars. So let's get started!
Replacement procedure step by step
1. First you need to dismantle the protective cover of the floor tunnel from the driver's side, it is made of plastic. To do this, we pull it towards ourselves.
The cover is attached using 4 latches, a guide is also used. First, we release the latches, after which we shift the plastic to the right (details in the photo).
2. The next step is to prepare the temperature flap control module (yellow star in the photo). The airflow should be directed to the windscreen and turn on the maximum temperature (position “HI”). This will move the damper to the upper end position (the yellow arrow in the photo indicates the damper drive wheel). Another option is to move the damper to the bottom extreme position, for which we turn on the temperature in the “LO” mode. Next, we dismantle the cabin filter plug. The lower half of the plug is folded back with a slotted screwdriver (red arrow in the photo).
3. There is a latch at the top of the plug; it is quite easy to remove the element.
Before us opens the place for installing the cabin filter.
4. At this stage, it will not be possible to pull out the filter, since the stove damper control module interferes. This element should be disconnected. Disconnect the chip from the corresponding connector of the control module and unscrew a couple of mounting bolts. Uninstalling the module is pretty straightforward. Make sure the choke wheel moves in only one direction.
5. After dismantling the unit, the filter rests against the control module electronic pedal accelerator. Some motorists may come to the conclusion that they will have to remove the pedal assembly (some owners are used to performing this procedure without fail). But in reality, you just need to bend the filter and pull it out, since we will throw it away anyway.
6. In the photo you can see how it looks original filter a cool element on a car with 20,000 kilometers on the speedometer. As you can see, it is imperative to change it, although it managed to pass only 2/3 of the recommended resource. By the way, there are arrows on the filter indicating the direction of the air flow.
A similar mark is also present on the purchased cabin filter.
7. To install the filter, twist it in the form of a butterfly or figure eight. Check the direction of the air, the arrow should point to the passenger compartment. Interestingly, installing a new element is much easier than removing an old filter element. After that, the stove damper control module is connected. Before that, return the flap drive wheel to its original position and install the control unit, holding the wheel with a screwdriver. You can screw the block using a thin long screwdriver or an L-shaped tool.
10. We connect the electronic connector of the damper position control module and test the element for operability. We start the engine and select on the console different modes operation of the air conditioner (from minimum to maximum). The wheel should turn without any problem.
11. Finishing touch- installation of a floor tunnel lining.
Exponential fleet expansion passenger cars, on the one hand, is an undoubted blessing. But, to be honest, the contribution of vehicles to pollution environment remains very high. That is why all the world's car manufacturers are trying to follow modern environmental trends. One of the means that improves the microclimate inside the car is an innovation that appeared in cars relatively recently (in the 90s of the last century), but has already become an industry standard.
How to replace the cabin filter yourself in a Nissan Qashqai.
Nissan Qashqai: a sought-after urban crossover
If we talk about Nissan Qashqai cars, then they are quite popular among Russian motorists (like many other Japanese brands and models), but it cannot be attributed to easy-to-maintain cars. This is due to the lack of free space in engine compartment... The desire to keep the size of the car within the framework acceptable for urban maneuvers does not fit well with the tendency to equip the car with more and more components that make vehicle more secure and comfortable.
The extremely dense layout makes it difficult to access even the most common consumables. The cabin filter is no exception. It, especially performed for the first time, can take a lot of time, physical and mental strength. But, having completed this procedure, you will understand why in car services it is extremely reluctant to do it, and such a service is much more expensive than the filter itself. And this does not guarantee that the work will be done with the proper quality. Therefore, the desire to save money here is quite commendable.
The problem is that the Nissan Qashqai crossover is represented by two generations, differing in bodywork:
- the first generation in the J10 body was produced during 2006-2013;
- the second (in the back of J11) rolled off the assembly line from 2014 to the present.
While the filters themselves are compatible, the locations are different. Accordingly, the replacement procedure itself will differ markedly. It is worth noting that, regardless of the year of manufacture, all Qashqai are equipped with air conditioning or climate control, so the presence of a cabin filter is simply necessary here - otherwise, the resource will be greatly reduced due to the penetration of dust and other pollutants into its components.
When is the Nissan Qashqai cabin filter replaced?
In the service book it is noted that the scheduled air of the ventilation system should be performed at every second maintenance. If we translate this in terms of mileage, then the operation should be performed every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. In reality, replacement should be done more often, especially if the car has to spend a lot of time in city traffic jams and congestion, or if the operating conditions make it necessary to drive frequently on unpaved country roads. Failure to comply with the requirement to replace the filter element will lead to contamination of the radiator of the stove and the evaporator of the air conditioning system, as a result of which or the summer cooling of the air in the passenger compartment will sharply decrease.
Many Nissan Qashqai owners, when planning to replace the Qashqai cabin filter, are guided not by the scheduled timing, but by the real state of the filter element. This can be determined by a number of quite clear and definite symptoms:
- when a persistent foreign smell appears in the interior of the crossover, the source of which is the deflector holes (this is a clear indication that the activated carbon layer has become so saturated with volatile substances that, instead of restraining the penetration of unpleasant odors into the car, it becomes the source of their generation);
- if the efficiency of airflow in the passenger compartment (regardless of whether the stove or air conditioner is on or only the fan is running) drops noticeably;
- when dust visible to the naked eye begins to fly in the cabin.
Cabin filter selection
The manufacturer recommends using only original consumables, which, in general, is not surprising. The problem is that the Nissan-Renault alliance has developed a habit of constantly revising, changing and renaming the nomenclature. Supplies, which also applies to the cabin filter. The first version had catalog number 27277-EN000. However, if you use search by VIN number, you may not find this consumable. Instead of it, other numbers can be issued (# 27277-EN025, and also # 999M1-VS007).
For all that, this is exactly the same filter. But that's not all: the same product can be delivered to dealerships maintenance under different article numbers, which can further confuse those who want to purchase exactly the original product. Due to the low cost of the filter element, such a desire looks quite justified - the use of a non-original consumable is not much more profitable from a financial point of view.
However, in some retail outlets, the price of the original Nissan Qashqai cabin filter may turn out to be greatly overestimated due to trade margins - in this case, it makes sense to purchase a non-original consumable item. In particular, cabin filters from:
- PKF "Nevsky Filter" (article - NF-6351), distinguished by decent quality at a budgetary cost;
- TSN (article 97.371), but it should be noted that this product does not have an activated carbon layer;
- TSN under the article 97.372 is more expensive, but refers to carbon filters;
- Mann (article number CU1936);
- Filtron (part number K1255);
- Delphi TSP (article 0325 227C);
- Knecht (article number LA396).
It makes sense to take a closer look at the products of the companies Sat, Asakashi, Concord, Bronco, Corteco, GodWill - they also specialize in the production of high-quality consumables for passenger cars. It makes sense to focus on price if you choose one of two types of filters, regular or charcoal, since they are in different price categories. The first ones are designed to clean the air from mechanical pollutants of a certain size and cost about 300-800 rubles. Coal products are about twice as expensive, but provide additional cleaning from volatile substances, high-molecular gases and pathogenic microflora, bringing the degree of cleaning to a qualitatively different level.
True, the price paid for this is a decrease in the throughput of the filter element, but on the other hand, throughout the entire service life of the product, you will be spared unpleasant odors, burning and carbon dioxide. Carbon cabin filters from Corteco and GodWill have proven themselves quite well - having a relatively low price, they have a quality that allows them to compete at a decent level with original products.
In principle, the same filters are suitable for both generations of Qashqai, since the geometry seat they have the same. At the same time, experts say that on the second generation Nissan Qashqai you can easily install a filter element with an accordion located longitudinally - it is easy to install and at the same time it is difficult to wrinkle. It is possible that sellers will recommend that you replace the Qashqai cabin filter with non-original cheap filters with a much lower thickness than the original. We would not recommend buying them, as their filtering performance is unlikely to be up to the mark.
Replacing the cabin filter on the Nissan Qashqai J10
Obviously, not all owners of an urban crossover are friends with the tool used to repair it. But the opportunity to save a lot of money makes many inexperienced beginners try their hand at this difficult business, which in fact turns out to be not so difficult. You do not need to search or purchase any special tools for this. It is enough to prepare a flat and Phillips screwdriver, the filter itself, a small LED flashlight will also come in handy, since you will have to work in cramped conditions. The algorithm for replacing the cabin filter Nissan Qashqai 2011 is as follows:
Now you know how to change a cabin filter for a Nissan Qashqai, albeit in theory so far. Note that some experts advise dismantling the entire pedal assembly when performing this operation - they say, this will prevent accidental crushing of the filter element. In fact, his flexibility is sufficient not to be afraid of such incidents. However, a problem-free installation can only be guaranteed with respect to the original consumable.
A few tips for replacing the cabin filter Nissan Qashqai j10
Dismantling the damper drive is a responsible operation that requires putting marks on the body and shaft, because if the slots are displaced during the reinstallation, the temperature regime of the stove will be violated. It is advisable to set the heater damper to the extreme left or right position before starting work - in this case, you will not need to look for the middle position. To lower the accelerator pedal down, disconnect the pedal drive, after which it will drop down until it rests on the floor. To facilitate the installation of the new SF in its original place, it can be twisted slightly along the longitudinal axis.
Replacing the filter on the second generation Qashqai
On models from 2014, the location of the filter element has been changed. To find out where the Nissan Qashqai cabin filter in the J11 body is located, just look under the lower part of the torpedo from the passenger side - the cover that blocks access to the SF is located to the right of the center console. 
This improvement made the replacement operation even easier. Consider the sequence of steps to replace the Qashqai 2015 cabin filter:
- in the same way, we move the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to free up more space for work;
- we are looking for a lever under the dashboard near the center console, pressing which will lead to the opening of the plastic cover. It must be dismantled by snapping off the latches. We do this carefully so as not to break the latches;
- access to the cabin filter will open - we carefully remove it so that the debris in it does not spill into the air ducts;
- install a new filter element;
- we mount the plastic cover in its original place
- we move the passenger seat to its original place.
As you can see, you don't even need to unscrew anything here - you just need to remove the lid and remove the SF. However, it is worth considering one nuance: you can take out the filter without much ceremony - if it breaks down, there will be no particular trouble, since it must be disposed of. But when installing a new one, you need to be careful - usually it easily comes in only half or two-thirds, in the future you need to make a lot of efforts to push it all the way. In this respect, it is easiest to install original filter elements, although their cost is usually higher than analogs.
Cabin filters are a kind of dust collectors, thanks to which the air from the street enters the cabin already purified. In order for them to cope well with their duties, they need to be changed periodically. There is nothing complicated in the replacement process and any car enthusiast can handle it on his own.
The assembly takes place in the reverse order:
- An air barrier cover is installed.
- The control unit is installed.

When to replace the cabin filter on a Nissan Qashqai
The cabin filter is replaced every 30 thousand kilometers, or 2 years of operation. According to the advice of drivers and specialists, it should be replaced at least every 10 thousand kilometers, since it clogs up very quickly, especially if the car is operated in a dirty and dusty environment. The ideal option is to change the Nissan Qashqai cabin filter 2 times a year, once a winter season, and once before the summer season. In the spring-summer period, it is better to put coal, as it more effectively copes with various allergens and unpleasant odors. And in the fall and winter, the usual is enough.
Modern cars can boast not only great driving performance and innovative design, but also a high degree of comfort. This is largely due to the sealed interior.

Sequencing:
- The plastic panel on the "tidy" is moved aside, the fastening clips are snapped off, and the panel is shifted to the side, thereby exposing the shutter connectors.
- These connectors must be disconnected, after which the control damper unit is removed. It is worth noting that it is attached with two screws.
- The cabin filter cover will interfere with replacement and must be removed.
- The air purification element is pulled out of the "groove" and a new one is inserted in its place. In order to easily carry out this operation, it must first be folded "accordion".

How to choose a consumable?
Before buying an air purifying element, drivers may experience specific question: "Which filter to put: charcoal or regular?"
