Pollen filter

A pollen filter or cabin filter ensures that fresh and clean air flows into your car. The pollen filter is made from microfiber sheets that filter dirt, grease, dust, soot particles and of course pollens from the air. Because large amounts of air flow through the filter, the filter gets clogged over time.

There are two types of cabin air filters; the standard filter (white) and an active carbon filter (black). A standard cabin filter consists of microfiber that absorbs substances. Activated carbon is added to a carbon air filter, which ensures that harmful gases are retained and therefore cannot enter the cabin of your car. A carbon filter is also often more expensive than a standard filter but is definitely worth it.

Dirty cabin filter

When the pollen filter is clogged, the dirt in the air will no longer be filtered properly. In the most favourable case, with a clogged filter you will only get an unpleasant odour in your car. In a less favourable situation, a clogged filter ensures that windows get foggy or get a bit greasy. The pollen will also no longer be properly filtered, which can be disadvantageous for people with allergies and/or hay fever. In the most unfavourable case, the fan motor overheats, which can cause damage to your car.

Cleaning pollen filter

Is the filter not damaged in such a way that it needs replacement? Then you can also choose to clean the pollen filter. For this situation, we offer a pollen filter cleaning set. Please note, cleaning sets only work with so-called washable filters and are not suitable for cleaning any filter. We recommend replacing the pollen filter in time.

Change pollen filter

The best option is to regularly change the pollen filter. We recommend changing the pollen filter once a year or every 30,000 kilometres or 20,000 miles. If you use the filter for a longer period, the filter gets full and eventually clogged. The amount of fresh air which gets into the car decreases. Luckily, replacing a cabin air filter is something you can easily do yourself. Anyone can do it. There´s no need for any special knowledge or set of tools required. The location of the filter depends on the make and type of car. For some cars, the filter is located under the glove box on the passenger's side. For other cars, the filter can be found under the bonnet. If you can find the filter, you can easily replace it.

Under the bonnet: If the filter is under the bonnet, you need to partially remove the rubber strip at the bulkhead. Followed by removing the cover, after which you can take out the filter and simply replace it with the new one.

Under the dashboard: Under the dashboard, you can find 2 plastic screws. Carefully unscrew these. You can then slide the cover to the right to release the filter. Remove the pollen filter and clean it from dirt. The new filter can be put into position and refix the cover plate.
