In the image, Vida doesn't say both are suitable though.
One part number is for one chassis number range, the other part is for another.
Your car will fall into one chassis range only so only one part number will be correct.

Hi folks, my pollen filter was the slimmer one, none aqs, but I got the aqs because vida said there was an issue with the aqs sensor, so that tells me that some one skimped out, do ya think?

Boy was it a fiddly job though, prob be easier if I have to do it again though..

Not sure if you can see this image, but I think the old filter had gone over lol

This examination of Cabin Air Filters has indeed run it's course but I gotta add that I've never seen such a large angled segment. Usually one of the sides is angled in and that's all.
These filters have always just slid in or out easily. A claw was used on that one.

Sliding out wasnt too bad, this is how it came out though, i think it was mishandled when inserted, took me a moment or 2 to realise that they actually bend in 2 places, once i realised that, it was easy to slide in, it was very awkward removing the trim and then removing the cover to the compartment, 1st off it sys screws, nope was torque screws, secondly i had to use my special spanner than holds bits to be able to undo the back two screws, would have been easier had i moved the car so i could open the door fully mind lol

There is a LHD and RHD version the difference being the shape of the foam piece at the top. For example AQS Cabin Filter (1.5 inch wide) made by Mann.

LHD part number is CU2855.

RHD part number is CU2855/1.

If you get the wrong one the filter doesnt seal properly at the top and you might as well run it without one.

The one Bashy had looks like it was the wrong one.

If it's for AQS, it'll be CUK2855 not CU2855.

I bought a CUK 2855/1 Mann Cabin Filter (from my favourite European Car Parts Specialist) to replace the existing one (CU) on my 18-year-old Volvo V70 as the kids were saying the car smelt (can't say I noticed) and the old one had not been replaced for at least 10 years as far as I can remember.

I had taken the old CU filter out and measured its height and width, but of course, I forgot to measure its depth and bought the thicker one (CUK) for a few more notes (north of thirty quid).

Still, the CUK thicker filter fitted in the deeper of the two filter bays (the one nearest the engine), and result, the kids (and the more skeptical misses) thought the car smelt better. The old CU filter was chocked full of leaves and debris, so I'm not surprised.

As I changed the filter myself, I did not mind paying the extra for the thicker filter, especially as the family is happier in the old jaloppy.
