Pollen filters

[Waylander]

I have bought a second hand heater top box from a 94 968 so I can have the pollen filters in my car, also bought a new bearing for the wiper motor (6000z) that would make like new again.

Just got to find a cheap replacement for the filters, at £60 a pair they are dam expensive, more expensive than Bentley Continental GT ones

Interesting. Ours was built in 92 and disappointingly had the same heater gubbins as the S2, I would have liked to have tried to see how effective the pollen filters are. Keep us posted how it goes.

I was looking at that heater top box on ebay too.
Have a look at Car Parts for Less I think the filters were about £20 each.

Still dam expensive the filter for my A4 was £7!

I have removed the top half of the heater box before only takes about 15 mins, you can buy the top half brand new from OPC think its about £50 plus vat, you need the later top half if you want to run filters as the surface area is much bigger than fitting filters in the early style S2 / 968 air box, about 40% bigger

True, that was what stopped me buying it []

Well, that and the fact that I am currently being made redundant []

I own a pair of scissors and a craft knife, found a Mercedes one that's just a bit over twice the size of a LA17/S filter.

Just waiting for it to come in the post along with the top half, if it goes reasonably well will be a pair of carbon pollen filters for £10

Cheers, it's frustrating as it could have been avoided if the management had taken notice of the staff, but I suppose that is always the case...

Yup always got their eyes on the bigger better deal

 

[Waylander]

well my heater box top with the pollen filters showed up today from the eBay seller, smashed to bits in the box, fantastic, now got to try and get a refund

 

[Waylander]

Contacted the seller and they have another one but guess what that's broken as well, these breakers really should be a bit more carefull with the parts

Idiots

Did this work in the end?
