Pollen filter, does it need changing?
to the best of my knowledge it's never been changed (4 years old now) and i hadn't even given it a thought, but my windscreen has been getting very grimey when i've got the aircon on to clear a damp screen/when it's raining and a mate said it might be the pollen filter is blocked?
does this sound about right and if it is a cure how difficult is it to change? it's behind the glove box apparently?
cheers,
Paul

Changed mine at 2 1/2 years old, it was full of bits of leaves and other crud, easy change and less than £10 from importcarparts
dash used to mist up, will need to see if there is much of a difference when we get some wet weather

might aswell change it really, did you have to take the glovebox out or is it a case of getting under the dash?

Used this link, glove box off, filter on my 2.5 hawkeye sti had a bracket fitted in front, but filter is designed to fold and then pop back on 2 sides and can be easily changed, have a look at the new filter before you take the old one out and you will see what I mean

4 year old filter was a bit grim straight away you notice a stronger airflow, well worth doing and something i'll change on a regular basis now.
only thing i'd add the guide is that we've only got 7 screws in the UK glovebox and the wire for the glovebox light is attached by a little 'bullet' type push clip, worth popping this off for a little bit more slack to move the glovebox out the way other than that, a doddle of a job
