andypsp Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 air bombs work great use `em twice a year, when did you last change your pollen filter though ? Halfords over-priced i go stocked up from wilko last month they had `em half price, they will be on offer again soon so keep checking http://www.wilko.com/car-cleaning/simoniz-air-con-refresh-150ml/invt/0450091 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Never changed pollen filter so will probably need to do that as well and the wife's so it's going to cost lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangoDaz Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Removing the glove box should not be a problem as I have removed it a couple of times to fit aftermarket head unit and reversing camera or I think you can go behind the fuse box. Not to sure which one is easiest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypsp Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 on my old 2008 focus i used to remove glove box, and the fusebox bracket as it makes the job so much easier, once done a few times you`ll do it again so much quicker next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Sounds like a weekend job as need to do two cars pollen filter then air con bomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Did you get a genuine ford filter or eBay and how about the air con bomb Halfords or eBay?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 ive never removed glovebox to do them . i can change a filter in around 1 min. but i have had lots of practice over the years. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 How do you do that if I may ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 trade secret, chuck the new one in the bin and pretend you have done it . lolonly kidding. battery 3/8 impact gun to rattle off the bracket nuts off. bracket removed off fuse box, push fusebox to give access to housing screws/bolts and remove with battery screwdriver. filter out. reverse back in. obviously i could have been doing 5 a day when mk2 was popular at garage so you had to be quick using power tools.but wont take you long with hand tools either.
