Pollen filters and cabin filters for cars and vans

In a nutshell...

Most cars in UK these days have a pollen filter (cabin filter) that cleans the air that comes through the car's ventilation system
Pollen filters don't often get changed by garages, particularly on older cars
Pollen filters loose their efficiency after a while and can block and buckle. This can;

Let in dusty air, often picking up dust from the filter itself (dust re-entrainment)

Restrict air flow for ventilation and cooling

Make demisting very slow

Damage the fan through overwork and dust in bearings

Make the air smell

For most models we can offer a choice between a standard pollen filter that catches dust, and a upgrade pollen filter that catches both dust and fumes (including most outside smells and harmful gases)
Everybody deserves better air in their car. Some people, for instance asthmatics and hay fever sufferers, really need it! (check out the health page)
We recommend that you know your pollen filter and change it yourself. Only then can you be certain its been done
It’s easy, its cheap. It’s a 'can do' thing. Have a look at the dummies guide

Using these, it is a good idea to check your car has a pollen filter holder first, as sometimes manufacturers skimp on this item for economy variants of a model. (has been known with Audi and Volvos). If this is the case, you could buy a pollen filter holder kit from your local relevant car dealership.

4.	Maybe your car is not listed, or we don't have a pollen filter to fit it or we might not have a specific fitting guide. Using what information you have on your car and our fitting for dummies page, and general fitting guidelines, you can at least determine if your car is fitted with a pollen filter or not Once you have found your old pollen filter, measure it (outside frame dimensions, not including seals etc.) and take a note of any maker names and part numbers on it.
