Have just done a few little bits to protect my car over winter, just wanted to remind y'all not to forget about your cabin/pollen filters!

Old and new..

It's discusting to think you breath air that's passed through that. My filters were even worse!!!

Old one looks like s charcoal filter, new one isn't.

It does indeed. although they only last a fraction of the length of time of the regular ones!

I do both of our cars every second year. Can't say I've ever really noticed any difference or change. Old filter is usually a bit manky but that's it.

They're "activated" filters or something silly. The "activated" bit of whatever it is doesn't stay "active" for as long as it seems but the filter itself will still look the same

Yep it's an activated carbon filter, Uses carbon to remove pollution, VOCs etc. Or so I recall.

Edited, I'm talking crap lol

Something like that

Do a Google search as to wether they're worth it. That's what I did and decided not to bother

I was thinking it was bacteria related, I seem to recall something from the fish tank filters but I think I'm confusing that with something else lol

I thought it was actual carbon, I don't really know. haha

Either way, it "removes pollution"

Yeah it is carbon, thinking about it I think it possibly kills bacteria? I can't remember.

We're a useful pair, hahaha

:lol: well it is past my bedtime.

pollen filters just remove small particles, odour filters remove small particles and as the name suggests odours. lol

pollen filters are cheaper.

i always fit odour filters to my car.

and you are observation is correct in the photo, the odour filter looks darker even though it could be nearly new.

I think the old one was a carbon filter however, you can't see in the picture the amount of dust and crap that's been built up was truly revolting! The previous owner was a smoker and it stank of smoke so hopefully that'll help with the vague smell that the air-con produced! Upon realising a) how easy it is to change, and b) how quickly the dust and bacteria build up - I'll be changing this every year, especially if Ford don't when it gets its annual service!

ford should change it every service interval
