| Re: Pollen filter in a favorit not fitted with one Interesting. AFAIK no Favorit had a pollen filter as standard. Ok, bad news out the way. A pollen filter is normally just a "flat panel" type air filter element, fitted into a specially shaped piece of ducting with a cover on it for replacement, so it's possible in principle, but will need you to find a suitable sized and shaped piece of ductwork from another make and model. |

| Re: Pollen filter in a favorit not fitted with one Possibly a Felicia could donate some parts here...?  The air intake for the ventilation on the Favorit is throught the long thin vent on the bonnet, which goes straight into the air box just underneath it. I don't think its possible to adapt it to accomodate a pollen filter, not easily atleast...

| Briskodian | Re: Pollen filter in a favorit not fitted with one bit of insulation - even a thin bit of foam over the fan intake works on a felicia.. but it is prone to getting wet, so then it wont flow very well and may get mouldy.

| Re: Pollen filter in a favorit not fitted with one Is there any sort of "common distribution trunking" between the heater/fan box outlet and a multi-way splitter unit that feeds the in-car vents on the Felicia? |

 ). I don't know whether it's still available but you'd have to ask at a Skoda dealer (no chance at GSF or Eurocarparts) and tell them to look it up in the Accessories catalogue, not the parts catalogue. Whether or not it will fit a Favorit I can't tell as I've never owned one and don't know if the trunking is the same. | |
