Nissan Micra - changing pollen filter?
Hi,
Has anyone changed the pollen filter in a Nissan Micra before. I talking about the second generation shape on a R plate. The car has Aircon unit and the Haynes manual speaks vaguely of this procedure.
So far i've removed the glove box and cut away a small section of the centre console as instructed to gain accessability to the box behind but not sure where to got from there....
Comments appreciated.
Thanks
Frank

Bought filter as listed on parts 'puter from VIN no.
Cut out as you, er, no place for filter.
Consulted the aircon mechanic at the main dealer, took car down with glovebox out. He agreed no place for filter and aircon system was different to ones he had seen before.
So put stregthening plate in, got money back for pollen filter.
I suspect Nissan were sourcing from more than one supplier and build records weren't kept properly.
You could try taking yours to your local dealer and see what they say.

yep, cheers.
I went to the dealer today and the dude told me it is a b1tch of a job to change because you have to extract the whole dash to take out the fan unit etc. He showed me the pollen filter and it was a thin airfilter looking panel but there is noway how i can see how it would fit in.
I've put some posts on micra forums (UK and Australian) to see what comes back. If I find out i'll let you know.
One things for sure, it needs changing if the car has Aircon because it can reduce the efficiency of the blower.

On my Classic doddle to do filter.
Our Micra, 48K miles, blower pushes out fine and aircon works well.
