Just Changed Pollen/Cabin Filter...Look At The State of My Old Filter!!

[Russ.]

Looks like the cabin filter in my car has not been changed since the car was built in 2001...until today!!

Was shocked when i saw the state of this filter. No wonder my aircon stunk sometimes!

 

[Tim]

quick one where is that in the car ?. think i need to check mine .

 

[Russ.]

Cups dont have them mate


But for reference they are under the scuttle panel on the drivers side of the car. Takes about 10mins to change. If you search for pollen filter there is a bit of a guide on it

 

[Tim]

yeah they do if you got ac . hahahaha :rasp:

[Tim]

[rich[182]]

I think pollen filter was £12+vat+fitting, done at same time as the service,will check invoice and confirm inc part number

This made me have a search for mine lol. Found it in the end and it was proper blick! Lots of crap festering in it - decided it needed a hoover for the meantime...

Just ordered a new one for the whole of £3.10 (Renault part no. 7700424098)

Im not sure, sorry brian.

I only know what i learnt from searching through CS, from what i can gather cups dont have the pollenfilter as part of the whole weight reduction effort.
Best thing to do i guess would be to remove the skuttle panel and have a gander

Think my pollen filter cost me around £15 from renault, ive started servicing my car with genuine renault parts as tbh theyre not all that more expensive than the third party stuff.

 

[BrianR]

I was just wondering if they fitted a different air plenum on the cup and if not, was it perhaps just a case of removing the hatch cover and fitting a filter and holder in ,if you wanted a pollen filter.

A pollen filter isn't just something fitted on cars with air con on other makes, I wonder why Renault make the association on their cars. ?
