Correct pollen / cabin filter part?
After my oil and air filter change I'm going to now attempt the dreaded pollen / cabin filter change, but I'm finding it pretty confusing to know what aftermarket parts are correct.
I know the OEM part number is 30780376 but when you see compatible parts there's many BOSCH, MEYLE, MAHLE and MANN filters with slightly different (a few mm) sizes and also with or without activated carbon. Does it matter about these small differences, are they all OK? Also does anyone know if there's a K&N pollen filter that's compatible with our cars? Like their air filters they're washable so I'd be interested in giving that a go if it's an option. Thanks.

You need the genuine one with the charcoal, well worth the extra money.
I've never heard of a washable pollen filter, although it's only filtering the same air as the engine does the cabin filters always seem to be 'throw away' perhaps it's more to do with bacteria prevention.

I could only find ones for Volvo lorries listed on their website though so maybe they don't make them for our cars?

Something like Bosch active carbon filter will work as well as OEM and will cost half. I paid 13e for this. ps - StatusRed - amazon link if u are interested. As for "washable" ones I can onlyh guess its not possible for our cars as you wouldnt fit the plastic-fixed frame in the spot, our filter has to be bendable. Maybe in trucks its different story.

grab yourself a magnetic pickup tool, with a large head type, and when you get the bolts holding the bracket almost out pop that on and do the last threads by fingers, saves dropping the bolts down the carpeting , and use it to get the bolts started in the threads when reassembly time oh and Something soft and padded that wont wreck the sill will be a Real bonus (your ribs will thank you later)

I'm 25 haha, managed to change the headlight bulbs in my friend's Renault Clio which was apparently a bumper off job just using my hands in the space available, so I'm wishing and hoping this isn't as bad as people say!
