Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 2005cabin pollen filter
Just when it is time for me to change the cabin pollen filter of my 2002 Accord, I am wondering if having a pollen filter really necessary. I usually drive with my sunroof open anyways. I am just thinking of replacing the filter elements with a furnace filter material just to filter off dust. This would be a $40 savings up in Canada. Airflow would also be better. Any opinion? > Just when it is time for me to change the cabin pollen filter of my 2002 > Accord, I am wondering if having a pollen filter really necessary.

Just get in there and yank it out, and leave it. We drove for many, many years and billions of miles without them. No harm. They're just a checkmark on a marketing person's list--"look, we have that too". > Just when it is time for me to change the cabin pollen filter of my 2002 > Accord, I am wondering if having a pollen filter really necessary.

But if you're prone to driving with the roof open, as they say in Jersey, fohgetabou'it.

I would be concerned that if you just leave the filter in (and use the ac or heater) it would eventually get clogged. Could be a lot of hard work on the motor and the evaporator coils might not get enough air flow. As long as there is decent air flow, no real worry though. |
