Which filters do you mean? The pollen filter or the refridgeration system filter/dryer?

Pollen filter should be at the bulkhead at the back of the engine bay, and fridge system filter/dryer...you cant touch it.

You throw them away and fit new ones. The pollen filter is accessed under the dash in passenger footwell. Search the forum for pollen filters...

The filter itself can be a bugger to replace though as space is tight, it only goes in one way round and when putting it in can catch on other bits of trim!

The last two times I've had mine replaced at the dealers I've ended up re-fitting it myself as it wasn't quite sealed right and whistled so beware. If it does whistle and you can't get it to seal properly use some foam draft excluder (the self adhesive type for household doors) to fill the gap!
