Replacing Cabin Filter

Cavey_P38 · Dec 16, 2009

Hi Guys
Been servicing my P38 today

fuel , oil, oil filter, air filter no dramas

Even greased all nipple on props etc
Sparyed waste oil on all the metalwork underneath as well

But having looked all over, other than ripped the dash out
Be B##ge#ed if i can find the cabin filter

Looked on RAVE cant find it there either, so do i need to thump the bloke in the motor factors or can one of you guys help me out.

Any other stuff i need to do

Cheers

Cabin filter. Do you mean cabin air inlet pollen filters? They are under bonnet on top of scuttle panel below two plastic covers. One either side.

Reckon that would be it.
Bloke at the motor factors called it a cabin filter

he only sold me one, i guess i need two

Cheers for the tip
maybe pop out to the garage and have a quick look in a minute or two

When I changed mine they came as a pair.

Dont understand - did you just ask for 1?

Cavey_P38 · Dec 16, 2009

Nope i had asked for all the other service bits.

then he suggested the cabin / pollen filter
only gave me 1, spent an hour in the workshop looking for the location of it:doh:

cold dark n wet here, so havent been out to the garage to check

just gearbox n axles fluids to change, may post on that in its own thread

open bonnet two rectangular plastic plates with screws below windscreen on my ex p38

Cavey_P38 · Dec 16, 2009

Cheers for that

just braved the cold and wiggled round the front of the motor in the garage do i need to take the wipers off or are the pollen filters under the panels with screws on

Steve Ashworth · Dec 16, 2009

No no - dont touch wipers, much easier than that.

Lift bonnet.
Look in corner at each side, just inside the hinge and behind rubber seal.

Its the long thin (approx 8" by 2") plastic cover with screw either side.

Remove both screws and lift cover away.

Lift out filter from slot below, taking note of which way it comes out.

New one simply slides in (if right way round).

It's really easy...

you don't need to take wipers off, the small 7” x 1” plastic covers with 2 x screws,, very easy, careful the debris does not fall back inside though!

Awesome
many thanks for the help , have been out and done it ( got bored with the film )

But suprise suprise it only had 1 in the drivers side.

There def looks like there should be 2 so off to the factors tomorrow.

You might not need aircon, although it's great for demisting, but you will need heated air to the screen etc. and it all comes through your pollen filters

Cavey_P38 · Dec 17, 2009

cheers for the advise

reckon plenty of demisting, if we half the snow we are forecast i will need the P38 just to get out of the yard:crazy_driver:
