Car Forum / BMW Cars / August 2006Does the E36 have anti polen filter?
Hello all! Does the E36 have anti polen filter? Where? I sure can't see it... Thanks, Vasco Ricardo > Hello all! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Vasco Ricardo Yep. It's up under the dash. http://www.unofficialbmw.com/repair_faqs/microfilter.html  Signature-Fred W Yes it does. You have to remove the Glove box and the kick plate above the passenger side foot well (assuming a left hand drive). The MICROFILTER is located immediately above the transmission hump at the forward most position in the dashboard. There is a latch that takes a 1/4-turn to open, and a cover of about 8 x 2 (inches) will come off into the passenger foot well, then the filter can be removed. There is a block full of relays that may be in the way, but these can be moved aside by simply removing the mounting screws and pushing them agains the wires. There is no need to remove the relay block or disconnect the connectors. > Hello all! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Vasco Ricardo >Yes it does. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >the wires.

I only ask as my old E36 had them marked off as being changed during dealer services, but my new E36 has n/a written on all the service sheets. Dodgy.

N/A means it was not serviced, it does not mean there isn't one. If you take the time to replace it, the airflow through the Life Support System will improve greatly. That's GREATLY. > I only ask as my old E36 had them marked off as being changed during > dealer services, but my new E36 has n/a written on all the service > sheets. > > Dodgy. >>>Yes it does. >>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >If you take the time to replace it, the airflow through the Life Support >System will improve greatly. That's GREATLY. Ooooh, in that case I think I am going to be laying upsidedown in a footwell this weekend then :o) (Well I've got a new stereo to put in anyway, so whilst the dash is in 101 bits it would be daft not to!) Dodgy. SignatureMUSHROOMS ARE THE OPIATE OF THE MOOSES >>>>Yes it does. >>>> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > Dodgy. Well, be advised that the stereo and the microfilter share nothing in the way of access, except that you need to be in the car to get to them. The Factory Radio takes a special 5-sided allen key to remove it, while you are at the dealership getting a new filter, buy the allen key too. >>Yes it does. >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > dealer services, but my new E36 has n/a written on all the service > sheets.
