V70: General Pollen filter

[V70greg]

Hi,

I doing a service and trying to change my pollen filter found this very useful guide

https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...=pollen+filter

I understand it is for a different model but sounds useful. Unfortunately I cannot see the pictures I get a photo bucket error?

Can anyone assist? I am struggling to get past the fuse box and don't want to break anything.

Thanks Greg

Left hand drive and on an XC70 but the same procedure

Have a scan through the other videos from VolvoSweden. Very helpful.

Cheers

Dave

Sadly Photobucket have stopped hosting pictures unless you pay them, so years of useful forum pictorial advice has been degraded. The years of work lost is tragic. This blight has been visited upon dozens of motor support forums. It is a betrayal of trust and must influence how pictures are posted to forum sites in future to avoid this situation.

Totally agree!!

I have not personally ever posted using photo bucket, this is more due to my lack of computer ability than anything else.

But for them to make such a change after years of use, in this manner, is completely immoral and I hope everyone removes their details from it. Thus instantly destroying their business model.

The rest of us can upload pictures and hope forums do not follow suit.

The volvo filter is £36 there is a LandRover filter that will fit for about £15 but not sure of its part number.

I know I paid for a new filter last service at volvo dealer and 2 days after the service found desicated moths in the filter and enough dust to warrant getting the airline out and blowing it off. I suspect it's an easy fiscal expansion claim as very few check, I know I will in future.

Got mine from Eurocar parts online with their never ending 60% discount think it cost about £15 as well. Wouldn’t go to Volvo unless an emergency

If using aftermarket parts, ensure that you buy decent brands like Mann for example & don't buy the cheapest ones you see.

yes, they have inflated their prices for years so they can give you 60% off; you still end up paying over the odds much of the time.

Hi folks,

the videos online are all for left hand drive models. Is the pollen filter for right hand drive just switched/mirrored to the passenger (left) side for UK models?

Currently considering how i get passed pedals etc if not . . .

Thanks

Yep. The pollen filter on a RHD vehicle is near passenger side footwell/underneath the glovebox area.

This video will help.
