I know there are two types of pollen filter, white paper one and grey carbon impregnated but is the grey one really any better than the white paper one ?

[Omega 37]

I thought the paper one was for earlier omega's. facelift was the carbon one.
tried a paper one in mine, no good.
no misting up with the carbon though

I fitted the later one to mine which should take the earlier one. Very difficult to assess which is best. They both fit.

Facelifts NEED the more expensive carbon types due to the air quality sensor. Prefacelifts (climate or otherwise) can use either, so I use the cheaper white type in my prefacelift.

My local Vauxhall main dealers gave me the white one for my 2003 Omega, and this was after I had given them the reg.

Do I have the wrong one fitted?  :-/

Yup, it will be switched to constant recirc as the air quality sensor will be thinking the carbon filter has failed.

Snap!   That's what they've done with me aswell. I went to get some oil and filters before christmas and thought i'd get a new pollen filter at the same time, went to fit it yesterday and it's a white one 
I gave them the correct part number (91365208)and the reg number and chassis number and they charged me for the correct one but they gave me a sealed box with the correct part number on it but when i opened it lo and behold there's a white paper one in there
