pollen filters

[RayM]

Hi Guys

Some advice please.

I'm ordering up some service parts for my 2003 3.0 E85 SE and I have a question regarding the pollen / cabin filter.

I've been on the europarts website and there are several options starting at about £9 up to £20. The most expensive version states that it is for vehicles with climate control. I've checked my spec on the Vin decoder and mine is listed as having spec ref 534 Automatic air conditioning. Is this one and the same? I'm not trying to save money just get the right parts.

Cheers.

The more expensive one is activated charcoal so will filter pollutants better.

There are usually two brands and two of each, one plain and one charcoal. I use MANN filters for oil, air and pollen as they are an OEM supplier.
Go for the more expensive one as that's what you want. Steer clear of Crosland filters, I got a pollen one once and it was a poor fit, glad I didn't use them for oil or air!

Great Guys..... thank you for the assistance

I guessed it would probably be the more expensive variety LOL

Hi Ray definitely better to use the more expensive filters, I use CARPARTS4LESS for all my bits its the same company
as Eurocarparts but they are always cheaper and free delivery as well

Might as well get oil, air and pollen from CP4Less, maybe oil too, they do discounts the more you spend
