Hi

Anyone out there tell me how to fit a pollen filter as i just bought a new one asits not been changed in the 2 years i've owned the galaxy , looks a pain to do

so i thought you guys / girls might now ..

 

Thought i would change it cos me front screen keeps misting up , i have cleaned the scuttles out with the hose pipe and running water but it still mist's up a little

 

i have tryed a serch but no results have come back

 

 

Thankyou

After all the hassle it took me to replace mine last time (made worse because the new filter is an odour one and thicker). I'd be sorely tempted to get the old one out and leave it!! :rolleyes:

 

Apparently is is doable without, but I ended up unbolting and pulling forward the wiper assembly to do it.

Thanks for the info

 

was easy haha replaceing the pollen filter was easy but when it came to putting the bulkhead extension was apain in the back side as the expansion bottle and the wiper motor was in the way but with abit of force it went back in .

 

But i did notice that the top of the suspension legs were full of water and very rusty

 

so i might see if i can make up something to go over them

 

cheers

takes about 20 mins

remove 3 screws that holds the bulk head plate in

remove the battery shiled then pull the bulk head plat away.

remove the filter from the drives side

there is a clip this end you need to press & pull the filter

you do not need to remove bottles or wiper motors m8

when fitting the new filter make sure you locate the

filter into the slots on the carrier

use a torch to look at it

it's really simple to do.

 

the bulk head just slides back into place

as does the battery protector.

 

i hope this helps you

I think sometimes when everything comes out in a rush as you want to put everything down quickly, mistakes are made.Done it myself! :P

 

huby cant spell to save his life either :)

delboyt posted the correct solution. With or without the 'joke' reply.

 

Note that the 'odour' filters (charcoal) are thicker, and in my car the assembled filter and frame cannot be got past the wiper motor. They need to be pushed through separately and assembled just before clipping in place.

 

Mind you, this is a bit late now he's done the job. What was that post about 'How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?' :)

Posted

El Dingo, That one didn't occur to me :) Mine is the same, thicker filter and the frame with the mod to stop the water getting in. It just wouldn't fit!!

 

Changing the head Gasket on my ond 106 was easier! and that was the 1st time i'd ever done anything like it.

 

I really can't understand why they make a consumable like a poxy filter so difficult to change.
