Hi Guys,
i am owning 1.2V8 Punto for a few months already and doing service step-by-step. One thing which made me confused was the cabin/pollen filter replace.
I have not checked the shape of filter in advance and bought one with a cutted side. Luckly it fits, but originaly Punto has a rectangular filter which is placed in a plastic cartridge, so it is the same shape as one I bought.
And here comes the problem. Filter I bought has an air flow direction arrow which is oposite to the one on original filter. It is not rectangular, so it fits only one way, and then arrow is pointing to the passengers door (regular car with a steering wheel on the left side). However, previous filter had it oposite. And I can feel air comes from the side of passengers door.
Thus my question follow.
1. What is the correct direction of the air flow, from passengers door or to it?
2. Is an air flow direction important for those filters?
3. Is it likely I bought something like UK version of a filter?
4. Any other ideas?
