Bosch R2436 Cabin Filter – Activated Carbon

The Bosch R2436 Cabin Filter is a high‑performance interior air filter designed to keep the cabin environment clean, fresh and healthy. It incorporates an activated carbon layer that actively neutralises odours, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pollen, dust particles and other airborne contaminants. This makes it ideal for drivers who value a pristine in‑vehicle atmosphere.

Key Features

• Activated Carbon Layer: Provides superior odour elimination and VOC absorption, ensuring that the air you breathe inside the vehicle is free from unpleasant smells and harmful chemicals.
• Pollen & Dust Filtration: The filter’s multi‑stage design captures fine pollen grains and dust particles, reducing allergens and maintaining a cleaner cabin environment.
• Wide Compatibility: Engineered to fit a broad range of models including Citroën C3, C4, DS3; Peugeot 207, 208, 2008; and many other vehicles that use the Bosch R2436 reference. The filter’s dimensions (32 mm height) are standard for these models.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑quality materials that resist moisture and mechanical wear, ensuring long service life even in demanding driving conditions.
• Easy Installation: Designed with a simple snap‑in mechanism that allows quick replacement without the need for special tools or technical expertise.

Performance Benefits

The activated carbon component of the R2436 filter actively adsorbs odorous molecules and VOCs, which are often released from interior upholstery, cleaning agents, and external pollutants. By trapping these compounds, the filter:

• Maintains a fresh cabin aroma, even after long drives or exposure to traffic fumes.
• Reduces the risk of allergic reactions by capturing pollen and fine dust particles that can trigger respiratory issues.
• Improves overall air quality, contributing to a healthier driving experience for occupants, especially those with asthma or chemical sensitivities.

1. Locate the Cabin Filter Compartment: In most models, this is situated behind the glove box or under the dashboard on the passenger side.
2. Open the Cover: Release any clips or screws that secure the filter housing. Gently pull the cover away to expose the old filter.
3. Remove the Old Filter: Slide it out carefully, noting its orientation for proper installation of the new unit.
4. Insert the Bosch R2436: Align the filter with the housing and slide it in until it clicks into place. Ensure that the activated carbon side faces outward toward the cabin air stream.
5. Close the Cover: Secure any clips or screws, then test the airflow by turning on the HVAC system to confirm smooth operation.

• Replace the filter every 12–15 months or after approximately 10,000 km, whichever comes first. This interval may be shorter in dusty or polluted environments.
• Avoid using chemical cleaners directly on the filter; instead, replace it if it becomes visibly soiled or clogged.
• Check for any signs of moisture buildup inside the cabin; a wet filter can compromise its effectiveness and lead to mould growth.

The Bosch R2436 Cabin Filter stands out due to its combination of advanced activated carbon technology, robust construction, and proven compatibility across a wide range of popular vehicle models. Whether you’re driving through city traffic, rural roads, or long highway stretches, this filter ensures that the air inside your car remains clean, fresh, and free from allergens.

By investing in the Bosch R2436, you are not only protecting your health but also enhancing the overall comfort of every journey. Its reliable performance makes it a trusted choice for drivers who demand the best interior air quality for themselves and their passengers.
