This is the location of the filter on the S-type. I'm sure it's not much different on the X. Once you remove the bolt on the windshield wipers, just pull on the wipers and they should come right off. If not, hit it sideways snugly with a hammer(preferably rubber just in case you hit the windshield) and pull it again. Then just remove the clips for the plastic piece that covers the rear area of the engine bay and you should see it.

 

Man why can't our x's have a bigger engine?

 

Probably because it wouldn't fit!!!

 

Lol........Aquill man, you're a star.....you ask a question then answer it all in one!
True though

That engine is the V6. The V8 is much bigger!

 

It would have been helpful is he answered it correctly..:-) the guy wanted to know how to replace the cabin filter on an X, not the S.....

lol sorry just bustin on ya bigdream....now how bout you redeem yourself and give the guy what he wants.......

 

I only know how to do it on the S. And I have pics of the S! I have no idea where or how to do it on the X. I figured it would be the same thing.


[][&o]

 

lol, All good.....
On the x, you have to remove the cowl under the wipers....to remove the wipers, position them in the upright mode, pull clip on bottom or base at the arm and the wiper assy will come off...

After that, remove the plastic assy to get to filter...be sure to insert new filter correctly because if you don't, when it rains, water will enter cabin...

 

I just changed mine without removing the wiper arms - my cowl grille is glued at the windshield anyways, and I didn't want to disturb that seal.(Are they all like that?) All it cost me was the filter ($26 from Ebay - how'd I do?) and one knuckle.
BTW, Biggie's pic shows the Ford# on his S-type filter that crossed to a Motorcraft FP25. Probably cheaper from the Ford dealer ($29 here) than Jag. My X-type filter had a Ford # also, but I couldn't cross it to a service # I can get.

 

$29 bucks from Jag too!

 

Yeah!

 

I like to do it at least 2-3 times a week.

 

But.....real life says I'm lucky if i get it once a month....OH, you were talking about replacing the filter!!!...ah heck, every 5-6 months is probably good...

 

Lol racer............my kinda guy.
Joeyysgrrl..............what r we talkin bout here? I sorta came in mid post?

JC

 

I'm sure she's talking about replacing the cabin filter. I don't thing 30 bucks hurts twice a year.

 

Where else can you get them besides jag or ebay? I havn't been able to find one anywhere? Hey and I'm not the only one that answers there own questions..eh racer? Looks to me like the good old saying "Great minds think alike" comes into play here : ))))

 

Ford Dealer...the Fprd taurus takes the same type

 

Taurus is different - S-type uses the one for a Lincoln LS, but the X-type is unique.
