Always wondered why recirculation mode never seemed to filter out exhaust fumes on my daughters 850. There is no cabin filter. It looks like only LHD drive ones have filter housing adapters that drop into the air intake just in front of the windscreen and they are readily available.
But the LHD insert wont work in RHD car - it's shape needs to be mirror reversed
Is there a RHD adapter available or do I just make one by hacking the original insert and make a filter box out of sheet metal?
Wrecker will have them.
Higher spec cars had them. Shouldnt be too hard to find one.
Thanks. Was hoping to just buy one on line. CBF visiting a wrecker.Skandix only has LHD ones. Maybe UK suppliers have them
I need this:
Anyone got one from an wrecked 850 or v70??
Any of the the 70 series cars at wreckers will have them, that's where I got mine from for the 850R, so look for C, S, V70's.
I've got a lhd drive one by strange circumstance that I can't use.
Left and right hand drive pollen filter holders.
Strangely enough mine had had the holder in but no filter .
Thankyou fellow ozvolvians. I will scour the local wrecks of the models mentioned.
It's incomprehensible that a $5 piece of plastic is the difference between base and higher spec models having or not having a cabin filter but every little extra they could leave out on the base model helped volvo cream it on the higher spec ones. What miserable shits.
Reminds me of a very wealthy luxury home builder I know who only ever installed single power points because it saved him $3 a power point. I mean why would you bother, its just pathetic.
BTW : There was a compost heap brimming to the rim of this one's cabin air inlet. So bad its a wonder worms haven't found their way into the air con. When I install the filter I will rip out the entire apron and give it a long overdue clean and scrub.
You can order a new genuine one from any Volvo Dealer.... about $50

Hi Boys

I'm pretty sure any C/S/V70 MK1(up to 2003/4) has them, try wreckers or Mark at BMG
