Cabin Microfilters?

[MikesJo]

Dumb question, do we have them in our cars and where do they go? Easy to replace? My windows get very hazy fast, so I'm thinking if I do have one in the car, it hasn't been changed in a while.

nope, unless your car is euro spec with no air conditioning

[MikesJo]

It's a non-ac car without the slit in the front of the car...does that count?

Sorry to question you, but are you sure about having no microfilter? I ask because all the BMW parts places have Bosch one for my 91 318is, retail $33, their price $12.

Unless you have a european car, you don't have on.

wow.. my car is Euro spec'd and had no idea E30's in general had microfilters

[mikeedler]

olny the ones with that climate control stuff.

How is the air clean in the car then?

[mikeedler]

ummmm, it isnt!
i dont know of any cars that had micro filter in the 80s.
thats why mt e30 loves to throw leaves and crap out of the vents when it is parked for a few days.

VW Passat B3 did as well as Audi 90 from 86 and up. It helps if you have someone with a lot of alergys it's like having a portable Hepa system.

I think I'll check one day when I have time. The car came w/ no A/C and is a canadian car, dunno if that helps.

My vacuum cleaner has a hepa filter in it and so does my air purifier :).
