Default Pollen (Cabin) Filter.

I'm looking to buy a pollen filter, I believe there's a plain one or a carbon one, problem I have is size. (don't we all) Anyway, I don't wanna remove it just to measure it (gawd, diggin' a hole with this thread) so has anyone a definitive size for this LxWxT? I've seen many with conflicting dimensions.
Cheers.

There is ONLY one size for all 75/ZT's.

This is the one I use/fit: http://www.doctorcarparts.co.uk/poll...55764-prd1.htm

The Diesel is exactly the same: http://www.doctorcarparts.co.uk/poll...55762-prd1.htm

There are cheaper ones, but I prefer to use the Carbon Type as it filters smells and contaminants. As well as the normal particles.

That's a bit odd, says it fits the tourers but when I put in saloon it says it doesn't fit

Pollen filters are identical in all models. petrol or diesel. The ACP site's search system hasn't been set up correctly. It's a common problem.

This is the product they are supplying according to the Ebay site: http://www.reisse-auto.com/search_ve...y=13&view=View

Diesel and Petrol have the same Part Number....

I just prefer the Mahle product even if it is a few quid more - at least you know what you're getting.... Not only that, it's not like you're buying one every month.

The Mahle Filter from DoctorCarParts :

I have changed mine twice in the time i've owned my ZT. Both times were Mahle Filters (LAK243)

I've just pulled one from our shelf and it measures about 388mm long, 251mm wide, 30mm thick.

They can be very fiddly to fit & locate the bottom 3 locating lugs, possibly giving the impression it doesn't fit. as if you don't line up the 3 lower lugs, the top won't clip in.

Like many things about these cars, there's a knack.
