Technical Cabin panel filter.

[Alpitlum]

Just a bit of general advice to multipla owners out there.
We bought ours last week with a full service history, book stamped and invoices to match.

When looking closely at the invoices I noticed no mention of cabin filter.

I removed it this morning and it's the dirtiest filter I have ever seen.

So it goes to show that even with a full service history things do get overlooked, Got a filter from my local motor factors and the air speed from the blowers has improved massively.

For the time it takes to pop out it is well worth checking.

How do u go about doing this I service mine every 6 months with fiat

most garages will only put the cheapest oil in when doing a sevice and if your lucky you might get an oil filtre. anything beyond that is a no no .as for the pollen filtre ,,, no chance. you are better off doing it your self, then you know its done right..

I tryed to get my pollen filter out I pulled black cover off took the seal away for safty tryed yanking sliding every thing and still havant worked it out yet how did u remove yours

Once you've took the cover and rubber seal off the vehicle you will see a plastic cover that needs to be popped off, at either ends and on both sides (in the middle) are clips that need to be opened up. looking at it will make it apparent what needs to be done.
I used a narrow flat blade screwdriver.
Then simply lift the filter out.
When replacing take note of the air flow arrows.

The reason I do mine myself as well. It comes with a receipt for a timing belt change last done 2 years ago., That will be coming out this week also.
