What Does A Pollen Filter Do…?
A pollen filter, also known as a cabin air filter, plays a crucial role in maintaining the air quality inside your vehicle. It traps pollen, dust, dirt, and other airborne particles, preventing them from entering the cabin through the air conditioning and heating systems. By doing so, it helps to ensure that the air inside your car remains clean and free from allergens and pollutants, contributing to a more comfortable and healthier driving experience. Regular replacement of the pollen filter is essential for optimal performance and to avoid a buildup of contaminants.

A pollen filter, also known as an air cabin filter, typically needs to be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or annually, depending on your driving conditions and vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
If you frequently drive in dusty environments, or notice reduced airflow, unpleasant odours, or a decrease in air quality inside your vehicle, you may need to replace it sooner.
Regularly checking and replacing the pollen filter ensures optimal cabin air quality and efficient Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning system performance.
When a pollen filter is replaced, several important steps are taken to ensure optimal performance and air quality inside your vehicle. First, the old pollen filter is carefully removed from its housing, which is typically located behind the glove compartment or under the dashboard. The technician then inspects the filter to check for any signs of excessive dirt or clogging.
Next, the new pollen filter is installed, ensuring it fits securely in the designated space. This replacement helps to restore proper airflow and remove airborne particles such as pollen, dust, and pollutants from the cabin air.
Finally, the technician may check the HVAC system to ensure everything is functioning correctly. This process helps to maintain a clean and healthy environment inside your vehicle, improving comfort and reducing allergens.
Common signs of pollen filter issues include reduced airflow from your car’s air conditioning or heating system, which often indicates a clogged filter. You might also notice unpleasant odours inside the vehicle, such as musty smells caused by mould or mildew. Accumulation of dust and debris on interior surfaces, difficulty defogging the windshield, or persistent condensation on windows can all point to a failing pollen filter.
Additionally, increased allergy symptoms, like sneezing or itchy eyes, while driving may suggest that the pollen filter isn’t effectively trapping airborne contaminants.
If you do not replace a worn pollen filter, several issues can arise. Firstly, the efficiency of your vehicle's heating and air conditioning system can decrease, leading to reduced airflow and difficulty in maintaining a comfortable temperature. This can also result in poor air quality inside the car, with increased levels of dust, pollen, and other allergens, which may trigger allergies or respiratory issues for occupants.
Additionally, a clogged pollen filter can cause the windshield and windows to fog up more easily, impairing visibility and safety while driving. Over time, this neglect can lead to damage to the HVAC system, potentially resulting in costly repairs.
The cost of a pollen filter replacement typically costs from £45 upwards, depending on your vehicle's make, model, and the type of filter required. Prices can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the replacement process and whether you choose an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or aftermarket part.
