Clean your cabin filter
 

Owned the car for two weeks and working around the odd jobs.

Today's 10 minute job was the cabin filter .... Wooohhhh baby that was one dirty piece of kit.

Below is the new filter beside the one I took out, they both should be white

agh right cool :)

I'm gonna have to do mine now I know about this ha. Is this the filter for the air blowers?

It sure is....:thumb:

im guesing you all have newer scoobs, pretty sure the early classics anyway dont have these, imports dont, maybe the UK ones do ?!?!?

Ordered myself one after seeing this! Arrived today which is fantastic for a fiver. The video helps and it literally took 10 minutes to do. The old was one BLACK and had a few wasps and a bit of straw stuck in there also. I feel healthier already ha. I believe they fit all newage models the same way

to be fair cabin filters look horrific after about 6 months!

Just found mine in my classic where can i get replacement?

Got mine from my local motor factor, however they are a lot cheaper on eBay if you want to wait a couple of days for delivery:thumb:

You'd be amazed how often this comes up - it's considered a difficult job but in reality it's not and it makes a difference:thumb:

Mine was so easy under dash 2 screws, and its open

Spray the new one with Fabreeze before installing and don't bother wasting money on air fresheners!

Ok but only found one at the momment, best price is £28.47 plus shipping insane

Use the one in the link.
They were never fitted to classic's as standard. So if you are searching for that, thats probably why the price is so high. You can use the newage ones.

You mean one for newage?

If there not mean't to have them why is there a slot under the dash?

Or if that just so you can clean the metal filter?

Yes.
There just is. Look it up on the internet. Its like why do classics have an OBDII connector, but don't support it?
I've had 2 MY99 and a MY00, 2 with a/c 1 without. Not one of them have had a cabin filter. If you fit one now, you may feel a decrease in the efficiency of your interior fans.

Ah ok, worth ago for £5
