Default Pollen Filter

Pollen Filter on the WQ..........."Where is it?".........anyone know?

On the centre console on the passenger side there is a panel which comes out, under that there are 4 torx head screws which then reveal the place where I think the pollen filter should be?.........am I correct or completely in the wrong place?

The reason I ask is that my WQ Zetec does not seem to have a pollen filter, if I'm looking in the right place that is, "the pollen filter simply isn't there", maybe Ford forgot to put one in my car?

"I'm all confused"......:

Theses are usually an optional extra. You gotta actually tick the box. Ridiculous isn't it. Just ordered one today off eBay after discovering this myself in my FPV!!

maybe they just tell you they have replaced it at the last service, charge you for it but dont bother fitting one as they assume you will never check anyway...

I don't know if it's there or not John .. I'm going to have to remove the cover and take a look .. I heard the XR4's never came with one?

Out of interest, does anyone know how much a new genuine Ford Pollen Filter is for the WQ's?

I got quoted $76 for a new pollen filter for the XR4 from my local Ford Dealer

I ended up getting one from the UK for around $20 delivered

For the record the XR4 does come with a pollen filter installed from the factory, they should be changed every 15,000km ... mine was rotten after 3 years and 50,000km !!

Ryco must have only just added that filter to their range .. I checked Ryco only a couple of weeks ago and they didn't do one

Thanks for the link mate .. I'll have to check out how much they go for.
