On Sunday afternoon I checked the Cabin Filter on my fixer upper, (located under the glove box in case someone else doesn't know it's there) to see it's condition although I had been told by the previous owner that the car had recently had a 'full' service, and to my shock and horror the attached photo was what I found! ?
Now I know from past experience that many people seem to forget about the pollen or Cabin Filter on the A2 (along with the fuel filter too) but this has got to be the worst one I have ever seen and it cannot have been changed for many, many years if ever!
It was completely blocked and I believe is the probably the single biggest cause of heater/air conditioning problems on the A2, let alone potentially being seriously bad for your health.
So anyway, I just thought I would share this as a reminder to everyone to change their Cabin Filter every two years like I do regardless of mileage.
Oil and filter every year, all the other filters every other year ?
