Ever check your Pollen Filter?

The pollen filter is an item which most garages neglect from what i've read!

I decided to have a look at mine the other day. The pictures speak for themselves :eek:

I originally thought that the dirty pollen filter might be Carbon Activated, as those are a black colour. But I can't seem to find any for sale. So I think it's just a disgusting old one

What a mess, in answer to your question, yes, change it every 10k.

It's pretty vile! The fan seems to struggle a lot less now. I wonder why?!

Good lord, so much for full service history

I think the bloke who smoked in it probably didn't help the situation!

Didn't realise this thread was still going! Good to see people are still replacing their filters.

I have a Peugeot 306 and a Civic Type R FN2.. The Peugeot is currently sorn. No such thing as a pollen filter in those whoever mentioned it
