Pollen filter

**old cruiser** · 7th February 2009, 18:51

Was thinking about changing my pollen filter soon and was wondering if there's any real benefit to fitting the charcoal/ carbon filter instead of the standard white one; my car only has standard Air-Con and not ECC

The charcoal one also reduces odours coming into the cabin, whereas the paper one only reduces particles.

Ah right , so may be a better option to fit the charcoal on then?

Cost may be a deciding factor?

Thanks for that m8 I looked a few days ago when there was another thread running but didn't track one down. I am pleasantly surprised that the cost is not as much as I had thought it might have been. I was thinking along £12 or £15 knowing how anything none standard seems to be these days. Cheers bud.
