Cabin Filter & Parts

Cabin Filters and Interior Air Filtration A-Z Car Parts Halifax supplies high-quality Cabin Air Filters (also known as Pollen Filters) designed to ensure the air inside your vehicle remains clean and free from allergens. Whether you need a standard dust filter or an upgraded Activated Carbon Filter to neutralize odours, we stock the correct part for your heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system.

Function of the Cabin Filter The cabin filter sits in the air intake of the ventilation system (usually behind the glovebox or under the windscreen scuttle).

• Filtration: Traps up to 99% of airborne particles including dust, pollen, soot, and road debris before they enter the cabin.

• Health Protection: Essential for drivers suffering from hay fever or asthma, preventing allergens from circulating inside the car.

• HVAC Protection: Prevents debris from clogging the heater matrix or air conditioning evaporator, which can lead to expensive repairs.

Types of Cabin Filters We Supply ✔ Standard Particle Filters Made from synthetic fleece media. Effectively traps solid particles like dust and pollen.

✔ Activated Carbon Filters Contains a layer of activated charcoal. In addition to trapping dust, these filters absorb harmful gases (exhaust fumes, ozone) and neutralize unpleasant odours entering the car.

✔ Anti-Allergen / Bio-Functional Filters Premium filters with a polyphenol coating to deactivate allergens and prevent bacteria and mould growth on the filter surface.

Symptoms of a Clogged Cabin Filter Cabin filters are often neglected during service. Signs you need a replacement include:

• Foggy Windows: A clogged filter restricts airflow, making it difficult to demist the windscreen effectively.

• Unpleasant Odours: A musty or damp smell coming from the air vents (caused by mould growing on the dirty filter).

• Weak Airflow: Reduced power from the blower fan, even on the highest setting.

• Allergy Symptoms: Sneezing or coughing while driving due to pollen bypassing a saturated filter.

Replacement Advice

• Service Interval: Manufacturers recommend changing the cabin filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or once a year.

• City Driving: If you drive in heavy traffic (high pollution) or dusty environments, you may need to change it every 6 months.

• Check Airflow Arrow: When fitting, always ensure the airflow arrow printed on the filter points towards the blower motor.
