Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 10, 2003 I think it was an option on all VWs in the mid 90s. Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_Micouris 0 Posted October 10, 2003 I didn't know if it was an option at all. I was told it wasn't. I have tried to get one but no luck, would love to hear of any solutions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exturbo2003 0 Posted October 10, 2003 not an option so would like to find a way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john_wintle 0 Posted October 12, 2003 Standard Knect Mk2 Pollen filter and the housing fits the Corrado. First time you need the kit with the new housing, then after that you just need the repacement pollen filter. Kit prefix: LAG19 Filter prefix: LA19 Check the part numbers though first, just in case I have got them wrong.... John. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_Micouris 0 Posted October 12, 2003 John - where can you buy the kit from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john_wintle 0 Posted October 13, 2003 Try GSF or Euro Car parts. Got mine from a friend who is no longer trading. Can't help you more than that. Try their online lists first. John. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_Micouris 0 Posted October 24, 2003 UPDATE: Well - Europarts, GSF and GPC don't sell them (even the Europarts list the part) I have found a filter from Mann and Huemmel - £5.25 BUT I can't find a soul who lists the housing! Apparently the housing from the Jetta/Golf 2 and the Seat Toledo is the correct one. I guess the scrappies is the only soultion unless anyone else knows otherwise?.....

G60 0 Posted October 24, 2003 how much more horse power do you get from a pollen filter?? :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john_wintle 0 Posted October 24, 2003 You need to find someone who actually stocks KNECHT filters. Nicj you should have some email leads by now. Give them a shout especailly Hans motors. john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bishthefish 0 Posted October 25, 2003 A Pollen filter cleans the air coming into the car, and into the heater vents. We supply them at work( made by Coopers, who r the same as Mann and Fram ), I'll check to see if we have and what price. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john_wintle 0 Posted October 25, 2003 The actual filter is not the problem Billy, it's the hosing that they go in as a retrofit to the Mk2/Corrado/Jetta2/Toledo If you could have a look anyway that would be good. john. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_Micouris 0 Posted October 30, 2003 Just to let everyone know that my quest came to an end. I was trying desperately to find a MK2 housing but Knecht definitely no longer make them :( Then one supplier told me that I could use the pollen filter and housing from a mk3 golf. What the hell - I ordered a complete kit from the stealer £22, and attempted to fit it! NIGHTMARE! Got it in in the end! I had to remove the ECU to be able to manouvre the pollen filter housing in. IT IS HUGE!!! Anyway - all in and I am now a happy bunny. The only thing that I am disappointed about is the plastic water tray that covered the old leaf mesh. It is not moulded to the shape of the new filter housing - it obviously fits the MUCH smaller leaf guard. Anyone know if we can use a water cover (not sure of the name of it!) from another VW - ie - MK3 Golf?? It has always seemed funny to me that all on the C is on display - ie windscreen wiper motor. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60 0 Posted October 30, 2003 some people have made them. could do it in fiberglass.. there isnt any OE cover that fits the C, no.. too bad isnt it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubbprince 0 Posted October 30, 2003 am i thinking the same...it is the cover that covers the top of the engine area...at the bottom of the windscreen?? Did the scirocco have it? i'll have to check. I was told golf mk2's had the cover...but no leaves can get into the c's engine cos of the rubber strip on the top of the bonnet. hmm...can you cut your own one out of a sheet of plastic? maybe somewhere like wickes will have it...or could do it out of perspex and spray it black. Anyone got a pic?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

exturbo2003 0 Posted October 31, 2003 nick have you any pics and a part number as i will be doing this as well please Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_Micouris 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Hi mate The parts for the MK3 conversion are: 1HO 819648A (Upper frame) 1JO819624 (Filter element) 1H2 819640A (Filter housing) 1HO 819165 (gasket) I will be honest it was SUCH a pain in the neck to fit that I don't wholly recommend but it does seem that we have no other choice as the Mk2 housing is now obsolete! Also the problem with the water cover not fitting cleanly is another reason to not rush to do it. That said it does it's job when its in... I will see if I can get the Mk3 water cover to fit now - off to the scrappies... Cheers Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe M 0 Posted October 31, 2003 I dont recommend driving without the water cover. When I had my 16v it had a crack in it and the water went into the car, flooding the passenger side and destroying the abs control unit that is situated there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_Micouris 0 Posted October 31, 2003 I wasn't going to not cover it - I only took it off to show the pics. Anyway... I took the MK3 filter off because I couldnt get a water cover to go over it. Dont bother with the MK3 kit I was mislead by a filter distributor on this one... Try and get the MK2 aftermarket housing if poss, even better - do what I ended up doing and buy a MK3 filter panel and fit it INSIDE the leaf mesh that's already on the C. The Mk3 panel is so big that you end up getting 2 whole filters for the C> just cut to size and fit! Perfect, oh and the filter is readily available for the Mk3 - £5 so therefore £2.50 each on the C! :D ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
