Hi all

Just a quick one. My girlfriend has a 2008 1.4 Sport 500 with Climate Control.

The pollen filter cover does not want to budge. It had no screws in it when I looked, and doesn't look like it ever has done. Similar to this thread https://www.fiatforum.com/500/424242-fiat-500-pollen-filter-replacement.html

This would lead me to believe that it is a blanking plate and that the car does not have a pollen filter. This seems strange as the car has climate control.

Can anyone confirm?

Would be odd not to have a pollen filter. I just changed mine on a TA, no screws, I tugged the plate from the bottom and it came off. The filter had to be tugged out, to put it back in lift the electrical wires up and kind of force it in where it resettles.
