Title: Pollution filter location? / blocked air vents??
Post by: Cosworth Lee on 14 December 2008, 14:02: Can anyone tell me where the pollution/pollon filter is, im guessing its either under the scuttle panel or accesable from the inside under the dash?

My demisters are not working too well and the air con is nearly non existant.

And as you can imagine this time of year its not ideal as its hard to stop it demisting

just wanted to check the filter first hopefully this is the cause, but dont know where it is :grin:

Nope its been like it since i got it in june!!

As far as im aware you should be able to use aircon all year round, It even says in the manual it can used in the winter with the heat also on as its a very good demister/ dries the air!!

So anyway its not that.

So no one knows where the polloution filter is then. lol :grin: :sad:
