If you've got air con you will have a pollen filter! It'll be behind the glovebox.

thanks,ive air-con so I will have a filter problem im having is I cant seem to find a filter that fits my year.ive been on ebay and all the ones ive seen (up to now)have the years start from 2000 for uk turbo2000 there seem to be a large variant of shapes do I take a chance on one for that year and uk spec an hope it fits or is there a specific site for jdm scoobs I can visit that might help....

Remove your glovebox and look at the filter, it'll have a number on it! Put that number in a google search and you should find a new filter.

yeah think that's my option pal thanks for the info

I couldn't find one for my car, did the search thing and found one! Think they are all much the same for scoobies.

got day off tomorrow so will whip off glovebox and have a look around.......

A few screws to remove and glovebox will come straight out, watch out for the wires for light in glovebox!

finding a filter isn't the problem its just I cant get one for a 1996 wrx import mostly all the sites ive been on (ebay etc...)only have them for turbo2000 uk spec and model year from '98 onwards but I will get there...

A 2000 would be the same as a 96! You'll be there soon.

peter.p&j

Yes I thought that be the case will let you know how I get on.....

Well after removing the glovebox and having a right nosey,it appears the jap imprezas don't have a pollen filter,I can't see any compartment that could house the filter I'm going to give my local scooby dealer a call tomorrow just for confirmation ......

There is a cover over the where the filter slots in, it's to the left as you look at the glovebox!

peter.p&j

Had a look all around Lee the furthest thing to the left is the blower motor then a housing unit but no slot that comes off I've looked at other threads and even youtube so I've a fair idea what to look for btbh they are mostly new age models but it shouldn't be to different.....

Very strange! A classic that I had had a pollen filter. As you say, maybe it's an import thing?

peter.p&j

I agree its a mystery but I'm going to get an answer somehow,will keep you posted ....

Hi Guys.
I'm on the same boat. My 96 V2 STI seem to NOT have one as well :-(
I will take some pictures later so you could have a look. Maybe I need stronger glasses or I'm simply blind :-)
