The air seems so much cleaner now and absolutely no odour. Even if I have to replace it every 6 months or so it's still worth it. I wasn't going to bother but I'm really glad I did.

Takes about 30 seconds......realy!! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1657-pollen-filter/#findComment-17579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
harasn Used to work at the Ford Proving Ground! Lifetime Members 306 Member For: 22y 2m 7d Gender: Male Location: Geelong Posted 15/04/03 08:37 AM Share Posted 15/04/03 08:37 AM the pollen filter is quite good at removing dust and the like to. Its a very easy thing to do and costs about $30 I think. The only thing is that it makes the heater/ac fan less powerfull through the vents as it is restricting the flow to filter it. maybe we need a K&N filter fitted!!! Its something you notice if you have had the car without the filter in, but you soon get used to it!

Must say though I didn't really notice the drop in air speed, but maybe a K&N isn't such a bad idea!!

NT TURBO Member 1,128 Member For: 22y 1m 19d Gender: Male Location: Darwin NT Posted 19/04/03 01:41 PM Author Share Posted 19/04/03 01:41 PM Can't say I've noticed any fumes but the air speed is governed by road speed when its on fresh air, so I usually use recirc.Something else too, even the standard filter should be cleaned fairly regularly. Mine gets used often, I'd done about 11000k's and it was pretty dirty when I put the new pollen filter in.
