All Stilos with air conditioning have the pollen filter in the same place. Were you looking at the correct guide?

:slayer:rite to start with my car is a 04 plate and a 1.9jtd.
all these diagrams do not look like mine, i have pulled everythin off on the passenger side and there is just loads of wires and the tube bit where the air come out of. there is no little plastic clips that u pull back to get the pollen filter out or anything like that.
i dont have a clue, just need someone to help me get at it so i can fix the problem:slayer:

this, but on the DRIVERS SIDE!

after you take the panel off, look right at the back and there should be a plastic flap/lid with a screw in the middle. its right by the steering column. its not that obvious so look hard. you'll need to be upside down for this

 

[Chris017]

on the driver side or the passenger side????

 

[OzMoSiS]

are you winding me up?

i've written DRIVERS SIDE in capitals 3 times now. also where else will you find your steering column!?

Looks plain enough to me.

How r ya,I have the the same problem with my Stilo.All the hot air goes to the screen and non to the feet. i've gone the polen filter route and its still the same. try messing with the hidden menu's in the climate control press the rear heated screen button for 5 secs after start up to access them. i keep mine set to 23 degrees and its to bad.
