can anyone tell me the location of the pollen filter housing? also is there a filter you can change for the aircon, mine smells of sweaty socks when used!

thanks mick hall

The pollen filter is under a long panel in the bonnet drip channel, passenger side. It just clips in.

Not sure about air con.

There's a range of deodorisers and disinfectants you can get for air con systems, some places offer a cleaning service if I remember right.

Dave, does yours have the filter? Mine doesn't seem to...

Symptoms when polen filter is dirty are: bad smell and low air flow

Pete,
Filters are only fitted on air con cars as far as I know.

ah, that explains it.. was thinking it was something else missing from mine

thanks everyone changed filter today, smells fresh as a daisy

Don't forget to keep in touch

glad that worked for yours...

Now spring is almost here and with the unusually warm weather we seemed to have had up in Manchester I feel inspired to change mine too... My air con smells like dusty old plaster! :yuck: and the filter is full of dead wasps and moths...

All my local stockists don't seem to be able to get one... did you get yours from FIAT? if so how much £?

Cheers,
Luke

yea I took mine out the other day just so I could actually find out if I had one or not. I have a/c in my car and it reeks of my mrs dirty undies (yes I have sniffed them but not through choice!!!!!)

Im also wondering where I can find a replacement new filter as I really could do with it!!

Is this the correct pollen filter?

I wouldn't go that far but my air-con does smell a bit feisty :yuck: Think its time to get a new filter Will check it out tonight when I finish work.

my car hasnt got ac, therefore i had no pollen filter, which is why my air vents are full of leaves. to solve this i used a pair of old tights to cover the air intake hole with wire wrapped round to secure it. it filters the air nicely, costs nowt, and dries quickly to avoid the gusset odour.
