Pollen Filter

Recommended Posts

When i put the heater on, its really musty smelling due to the fact it was off the road for 18months.

 

Anyone know where the pollen cabin filter is so that i can change that.

 

Is it easy to get to?

yep, its for the 1990 1.8 16v

 

when you switch the fan on, its really musty smelling, like my mk3 golf was before i found the original pollen filter in it!!!

 

maybe i'll just have to keep it running for a while, it goes back on the road this weekend

No pollen filter on UK standard C.

 

Could be retro fitted at the time with Mk2 Golf filter housing (now unavailable). If there is a filter, the most likely place is in the passenger side scuttle area above the air fan for the cabin.

 

If a heater isn't used for a while it can cause smells but they should "burn off" after a short while (30 minutes) whne they engine has reached normal water temperature.

 

Are you sure it's the heater and not a damp carpet up the front end of the car in the forward footwells?

It'll just be mouldy old leaves. Remove the cover & make sure you get it all out - a vacuum cleaner is good if the missus doesn't spot you doing it :)
