Pollen filter rs200

[jimbob200]

Sorry if this is already up and I couldn't find it firstly.....

Looking to change the pollen/cabin filter on my 200 where is it? And also Euro car parts tell me there is two sizes anyone able to save me pulling my existing out, measuring and putting it back?

It's behind the centre consol on the passenger side. It just pulls out.

See if there's a part number on yours. You may not have you pull it out if he number is visable

Getting back to this I've bought a nice clean new one but I'll be buggered if I can get the old one out.. seems to be welded in. Plyers, grips I've tried all sorts, it's just not budging a mm, YouTube videos seem very misguiding lol
Any tips??

Have you removed the retaining clips?

 

[Drc12369]

Nope, no idea where or what they are. Pictures please? The YouTube videos I've seen just pull it out..

Yet to see a filter that doesn't come with pictures, check in the box.

Have you removed the cover? It'll have some sort of plastic cover over it that you need to remove first.

I can't remember the Clio specifically but every one I remember doing has some sort of retaining clip on the cover, remove said clip, remove cover, slide out old filter (remembering the orientation), refit new filter, refit cover.

ill go wrestle with it for another 5 minutes today lol watched a few more youtube videos, pictures just say pull out.

 

[Chrisgti6]

The videos and pictures I've seen show that you have the pull up and out, to unhook the bottom of the cover plate.

 

[Drc12369]

Yeah I've tried all that malarky and it still won't budge.. I'll let you know how I get on

 

[Drc12369]

Nope, doesn't budge regardless of what I do.. I'll wait for a meet and one of you Renault ninjas do it for me :tongueclosed:

I found it a nightmare getting to mine so took the glovebox out. Only a 2 minute job but made replacing the filter so much easier

 

[Drc12369]

I can see it and get to it but buggered if it'll move lol

Well who'd of thought it, after being sick for days and puking so much I thought I'd die at one point and today being weak as a kitten I gave the pollen filter a tiny nudge and it slipped out like butta! Weird, I'd been at it with plyers n grips and used full force with 2 hands and nothing.. today with my baby 5yr old strength it just slid out.. 3 second job, new one popped right in. Job done!
