just thought ad post this... possibly the best £7 ive spent in a long time as i got sick of bad smells from the air blowers, especially when the aircon is turned on!
ITS MANKY!! the pic dont do justice lol but its completely blocked with fluff, dirt and dead things lol
i did it in 5 mins, the tutorial shows you how to do it and its really easy. the only difficult bit is forcing your battery leads around the plastic to gain sufficient space to get the filter in and out...
you could always disconnect them but that takes time lol
well the one that i took out was a GM... according to the log book its had 3 services at a vxl garage and non of them have ticked pollen filter boxes... the filter is a GM filter so im assuming its been in there since new lol
i did a service on my car the other day and it took me about 2 mins to do the pollen filter, and because i work in a garage, the best £2.70 i ever spent lolol
if the pollen filter is blocked will it slow down the air coming through my vents? im gettin verry poor presure through the vents, do you think the filter could be my problem? thanx
Hi Folks,
I changed my pollen filter today because of poor air flow rather than bad smells and a cruddy windscreen. The filter was so bad I dislodged leaves and creatures whilst removing it and they fell into the blower motor. These came flying out of the vents nearly blinding me so be careful. I ended up dismantling the blower motor housing to remove a stubborn leaf that had wedged in there making a right racket on setting 3 and 4.
It easier to fit than the air filter really as you don't even need a screw driver.
I got my filter from a local motor factors and it was a right turd to fit, although it was the same size, the Plastic bits at the side were slightly larger (wider) than the OE one. It dropped in lovely with the air flow the wrong way around, but was very tight the correct way. I don't think the paper element matters which way the air flows, its just the sealing stripps would not be seated correctly.
might do mine in the morning if i can pinch a filter from the parts dept :lol:
