Pollen Filter
Hello everyone,
Hopefuly within the next couple of days i shall be giving my cars plenum drains their first rodding (in my ownership) i also have one of jules's plenum guards to fit at the same time, while doning that i am also going to change the pollen filter. After doing a couple of searches on here i decided to get one of the carbon types that i managed to get online for £16.50 delivered, the filter arrived today and although it looks right it doesn't have a plastic frame or the tabs (which i assume clip it in) that i have seen in pictures in other posts how to's, the one i have has just a cardboard frame with a strip of foam going around it. Will this be ok to use or will just fall out when i come around to fitting it? Thanks Lee |

Dunno, never seen one with a cardboard frame...???
The only problem I can see is that if it gets wet it might disintegrate. I got mine form here: http://www.doctorcarparts.co.uk/rove...len-filter.htm but through Amazon, and it had a plastic surround and fitted perfectly.

Ours went in the bin about a year ago.
No problems noticed, and that includes a 5500 mile run around Europe in the summer via the top of the Alps (down to 2 deg), Rome (up to 40 deg) and Hungary. |

my Carbon one came from Ebay; best ones are Mahle or Mann. They are worth it for me at least as they do help with some of the aromas !
But all the ones I have had come with the plastic frame with securing clips Not seen a refil option without a frame |

I ordered this one: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Ro...2d3b04c&000047 Should be carbon activated for the R75 according to its listing but when it arrived spot the problem: pollen filter.jpg I'm sure they'll sort me out with a replacement as they always give great service there. Probably time for a change looking at the old one. I thought someone had stuck a piece of old carpet down there when I saw it. |

This is the one I got from DoctorCarParts 'via' Amazon:
It had the Plastic Surround and the Locating Tags. (Hard to see in photo as they are on the other side).
