Pollen filter
Will an old pollen filter be part of the reason that my car fogs up so much?

Re: Pollen filter
Yes! They are supposed to be changed every. 15,000 miles or yearly, which ever comes first. When the leaves and other particles get trapped in it they also draw moisture which is what causes the fogging.
For a £5er I don't understand why people don't change them!

Re: Pollen filter
When you take it out just imagine breathing through it and you'll change it regularly
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Pollen filter
GM oil is the best for them and isn't badly priced!

Re: Pollen filter
yep, it has the little blue gm logo printed on the label.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts
Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
