Has anyone changed their pollen filter yet? Did you manage to find a pattern part that fits, or is it still down to O.E. please?

GSF have ones at £12 and £19, take your pick

Less various discounts that can be had

Not tried them yet though, as mine's not due yet

So you got air-conditioning, they are the only one's with pollen filter, any car part shop will be able to get 1

Thanks for the advice, never thought of looking on GSF (German Swedish French). My car is now 4 years old so despite very low mileage, I think I owe it a fresh filter along with a sanitiser bomb.?

 

[cobby58]

Just replaced the filter with an "activated carbon" type as opposed to the dust filter option. Not a bad job to do,,,. I used one of those air con sanitiser aerosol beforehand, so every thing is "new car fresh" again ?

 

[AlwynMike]

A bit of a rubbish location, if yours is the same as mine.

Can't get the thing in without it bending (Ohh Errr Missus!) with all the stuff in the way.

Poor design. Again.

Haha,,Yes, totally agree with you there Mike, certainly not a nice or positive fit. One very good reason that I went for the top option, it can stay in there for the next couple of years!
