Hi all
Where are our pollen filters located,and how do we replace them.
I ask this question as I have just changed the pollen filter on the wife's Corsa c, and I don't think it has ever been changed since the car rolled off the production line in 2005.
The car was condensating up really badly due to lack of air circulation.

Here you are Luigi, 56 seconds of the process (in Italian!)

Problem is all the instructions on the interweb are for left hand drive versions which are totally different to ours.

I've just manage to change my pollen filter and I removed the glovebox (although technically not necessary if you are a contortionist ).

Working in the pax footwell, first pull out the two white plastic scrivets and remove the cover, along with the pull-off panel - lower right of footwell. The filter is mounted vertically in the corner behind the black cover shown, which is at 45deg. (camera is on the floor pointing up).



To remove the glovebox - undo 3 torx screws on the top, 4 on the bottom (the left one has no father!) and a larger one inside the rear of the box, which will then drop down so you can see the whole filter cover.
Pull the cover off from the bottom and it unhooks at the top. You can then pull out the old filter.



There's not much space but with gentle bending it comes out and down into the footwell.
Before you start feeding the new one in, make sure the air-flow arrow is pointing INWARDS . It's a fiddle but gently pushing top then bottom does the trick. Hook the cover back on the top and push the bottom home. Job done, well after you've put everything back together
