Is it located in the frunk?

 

There's one in the frunk, passenger side of the battery. Pull the black cover off the top of the plastic bit there and pull upward on the filter. It's a thin, long rectangular one.

There's one in the cabin under the glovebox area. I believe the fasteners are quarter turn there, the lining comes out, and same story -- plastic cover, pull filter, put in new.

One sec and I'll show 'ya.

 

 

Thanks bro, you rock!

 

Also one under the glove box.

 

Yes. Poking your head under the dash on the passenger side, there's a felty looking cover plate on the bottom of the dash held in place by plastic screws. Undo the screws, pull on the plate (it's bendy but don't bend it too much or it'll crease), and it'll expose the filter area.

This is the activated carbon one that deals more with smells than particulates. The oft-neglected frunk filter is the one that clogs up with pollen and the like.

It's early for me so I'm not keen on making a video of doing that one. I'll probably do that this afternoon though, since I need to replace mine!

 

I located this video on YouTube which covers boths filters.

 

This is a previous post of mine with photos. Hope it helps. Stretch before you contort my friend!

Just did both on 991.2 this weekend.

 

Part codes for both cabin filters for a 991.2?

 

According to the parts PDF available at the Porsche website, the interior filter is 991 573 623 00 and the frunk filter is 991 572 371 00.

You can find the parts available at places like FCP Euro or even Autozone without having these part numbers however, as they are simply air filters and there's nothing special about them from the dealership that makes the 3-5x higher price worth it.

Just order these and some wiper blades because you probably need those too and get free shipping.

 

FCP is great. Lifetime replacements are a HUGE plus.

 

Has anyone tried to find a replacement plastic screw that has maybe a philip or hex head that is easier to remove and reattach?

Anyone that has replaced the cabin filter surely cursed the engineers that sourced a screw with a curved head with such a shallow slot and such awkward access.

The stock part is this, I believe: 1H0 819 943

You don’t need to change it often, but given the awkward access, I would welcome anything to make it a little easier.

 

let ur indy do it, cheaper than a chiropracter if ur over 30

 

I am, and I came to that conclusion yesterday. But everyone should do it. Once. :-)
