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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
harasn Used to work at the Ford Proving Ground! Lifetime Members 306 Member For: 21y 10m 26d 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say though I didn't really notice the drop in air speed, but maybe a K&N isn't such a bad idea!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine gets used often, I'd done about 11000k's and it was pretty dirty when I put the new pollen filter in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
