You know that for a fact?

Damage to the pollen filter surround, allowing water to soak into the car through the pollen filter is pretty common.

Changing the filter alone wont, but if he checks his old one & it is soaked then chances are he's found where the water is entering the car. The problem would be the housing, and once sorted he would need to change the filter anyway.

You're either being stupid or pedantic, I hope that for your sake it's the latter.

Post by: harlemex on 17 February 2013, 14:22: You seem to have a big problem with me. I have had my fair share of BS from you over in the mk3 section, back off you plank. I am simply stating that I am sure it is not his pollen filter, he would have checked it along with his scuttle panel. There are loads of people with leaking issues on here and it has nothing to do with the filter or the housing.
