Pollen filter
« on: 16 July 2012, 21:18 »
Hi guys

Stupid question coming up.....but what will happen if I removed my pollen filter ? Im still getting water in from the base of the pollen filter which is running behind the filter and down the body frame..so Im thinking after a new filter housing and new seal didn't work...can I just remove it and seal it up with something ??

thanks

No pollen filter means no air would get into the car as it is the air inlet.

When I refitted mine I siliconed around the base as well.
