Title: Pollen Filters
Post by Gazza_UK on Jun 17^th, 2009, 8:48pm

Noticed that I was a a few clips missing on the pollen filter cover so I thought I would re new them and also take a look at the filters. . .

Yep they to needed doing but trying to get the filters from ford . . . . No Chance so a quick call to my Local
KAR PARTS here in Leicester and hey presto

Also the clips were dealer ONLY so another call to Sandicliffe and yep £4.80 for 5 so I got them and set about to replace

How much were the pollen filters and the forte cleaner Gazza ?

I know halfords do a cleaner but it's 12 quid a shot, a tad expensive for an aerosol can in my mind

Hi Gazza, can you post pics next time you change the air filter as well ;D

P.S....the best air-con cleaner I've used was the Comma aerosol stuff. It's not foam so it's not messy, it's similar to the Forte stuff & just releases it contents as a gas which gets circulated around all the ducting killing all the bacteria & makes it smell lovely & fresh.......it's about £12 a can though, so not cheap :)

Thats a bit more difficult and best left to the experts }{ }{

But Just for you Johny I will do one in the morning ;)

But joking apart the Comma aerosol is all thats around now days. . .
I will pop up to Tesco's and try there car plan is this an aerosol can trigger spray ?

That's good, cos I've always wondered which way round the air filter should go, as there are no arrows }{

The Tesco stuff probably isn't an aerosol trigger spray cleaner. Scorpio_man said, you have to remember to put a towel under to catch any drops, so probably the foam stuff :)

hi there

no, the car plan stuff is an aerosol.

you put it behind the front passenger seat and it goes off like a fountain!!!! :o

you have the towel under it to catch most of the moisture the falls back down and it catches the drips of the back of the seat.

i make it out worse than it is. you just use the towel to give the centre arm rear and seat a wee wipe. doesn't leave any marks or anything.

it's just so you know or you'll be left with a little puddle for a hour or two.

and it costs £5! ;D
