Hi just changed pollen filter on a 2.2 facelift but other one was so dirty that i couldn't see which way arrows for airflow went. Do the arrows face the front or rear of car, Regards. Keith.

Arrows are in the direction of the air flow ie towards the back of the car.

You say it was dirty ..... do you know yours is grey from new? and if the one you've just bought isn't, then it's the wrong one.  Face lift cars have a carbon filter, ealier cars don't.

What is the difference?
Is the one from facelift better than pre facelift?

Go in with the part numbers that Lizzie has posted ....... they obviously can't be 4r$ed looking.

changed mine couple months ago, got it from Vx no problems.

My local dealer wouldn't order one for me as they come in boxes of five, or was it ten?
Andyc will sort it for you

Got mine from a local parts dealer and there is no reference number on so i will have to ring to confirm. if i  have a plain paper one will it make much difference. Keith.
