With all the talk on pollen filters recently I thought I'd do a little "how to" for the less mechanically minded out there as it's very simple!!!
First off, open the glovebox and remove these tabs with a twist and a push (one on each side of the glovebox):
look like this when out (will be 2):
Let the glovebox hang down out of the way so best to empty it first, revealing this door that unclips to open:
Slide out the first tray:
Slide accross and remove the second tray:
If you haven't done this for a while they will be dirty:
Get your 2 new pollen filters (Blueprint part no: ADH22510):
Push out and bin the old filters, and fit the new making sure you match the direction of air flow:
One filter fitted next to the other old dirty one:
All you need to do now is fit the other filter and re-fit back into the car in reverse order!!
Simples!!
Courtesy of Porthos, obviously this doesn't affect everybody, but some of you:
If you have never had pollen filters in your car, you will have 2 plastic plates that need removing from the trays. These prevent the Pollen Filter from sitting in place correctly, they also make the air filtering less efficient if left in and can damage the paper element of the filter if not removed. (Think of the weight saving too!, lol)
Cut the thin plastic tabs away that are holding it to the frame on the tray with a sharp knife:
This is how they should look now, Left is correct, right is incorrect:
Do the same to the other tray so you now have 2 perfect non restricted filtering trays.
Now just replace them back in the Filter Cabin behind the glove box! Job Done!
