Dimensionally, all pollen filters are the same size, regardless of the Omega it's being fitted to

[Marks DTM Calib]

Just ordered a new pollen filter from Eurocarparts for my Octavia .... £3.60.

Ok its only a basic filter, but the way i look at it, in this hot weather you need all the airflow you can get for the aircon....and the carbon filters can only reduce the airflow....

Then i looked up for the Omega....not that i have one anymore....just being noisey ....

£4.32....thats good in my book too.....so might be worth changing the filter, if your aircon is struggling a bit 

Actually you don't, the aircon system has a finite cooling capability which will be much less than the max airflow of the blower setup

I did wonder, as Mark says. Quite often these ac set ups blow colder on a slower fan speed. Certainly the ac set ups at work are that way.

(Hopefully that's relevant if I've understood correctly? )

I agree, if your filter isnt partially blocked with dust/dead insects/etc....

I had a much reduced airflow, due to 'i think never been changed' filter and on 'auto' the fan used to to run at 7 or 8 out of 8 fan speed all the time and didnt get the cabin to the 18C i had the climate set to.
Yesterday morning i fitted the new filter and altho it wasnt as hot (only 25C) i could tell there was a definite increase in airflow and after being on for 5mins or so the fan slowed up to 3...4 out of 8 and was definitely cooler in the car

Where is the pollen filter on an early Battlebus, as I might treat it. The AC is nice and chilly, but the fan has no strength.

Usually where most of them are....up behind the glovebox

Looks like a good deal, local Havant Mototr factors want £17.50 for the correct one.
Small lad in Halfords "Oh yer Omega sir, that`s the new one isn`t it"  ,
"That new one, I saw the add the other night" "Nice car sir, just let me look it up for you"  " Errr sorry sir, we don`t even supply that one yet". WTF are these kids on.

Oh bollards, it will stay as it is then. I don't like it that much

Just had the air con regassed at the local Vauxhall dealership and it's nice and cold, all it cost was 4 cans of lager

I dont know for certain its there....buts that where they've all been on the cars i've owned...

If it is...its only a 10 mins job....pop the cover off behind the glovebox.....work out how the cover comes of the pollen filter....usually slides off.....pull out filter....shove new one in and 2 mins later you have all the covers back on 

Then shout at Mrs TB to get the vacuum outside, as she needs to vacuum all the dust/crap/dead insects that are deposited on the passenger side carpet

As I have an old omega and hence never heard of carbon filter, what is the difference and is it worth it/compatible to fit to my old barge.

If your car is an Elite, with Electronic Climate Control, then it should have a charcoal pollen filter

Not quite correct. Only the inferior FL model needs it. Superior PFL doesn't

OK, forgive my ignorance please, but, I know my car is superior in every way and therefore doesn't need a carbon filter. Just why not, surely the system is broadly similar.

Good question  And would it do any harm fitting a carbon one
