Ford Focus pollen filter procedure?

Stevie Dakota

Anyone know the procedure for changing this on a 2008 facelift Focus?

Cheers.

Got a Mk1 myself but this should help:

I don't know about the Focus, but the Cmax of the same vintage is a pig of a job.

1. Open and Drop fuesbox down off its hinges in the passenger footwell

2. Screw access plate off side of heater matrix and extract the used filter and the associated muck and dead animals entrapped therein

3. Reverse of above to replace.


There's very little room to work and plenty of sharp edges

Seems a lot more straightforward.

Try changing the pollen filter so - it's character building to say the least.

I did it in the wifes 2006 Focus (same dash). 100% pig of a job.

I had to drop the fusebox and take it off its hinges.

There are 3x 8mm screws holding the pollen filter cover-plate in.

The filter has be bent into an un-natural position to get it in.

Not nice as you have to contort your body to open it :mad::mad:
