guess same place as LHD except theres no glovebox on the right hand side of the car?Originally Posted by rob101
Hello, well i suppose the title is pretty self-explanatory i have had a burning smell around zee car ever since i put my exhaust back on initially i thought it was something on the exhaust but it seems to come through the vents mainly. so i suspect microfilter as my airflow with the blower on is significantly reduced as well.
so where is it on a RHD?

No mate - just the steering column, brake, clutch and all the other stuff. Can I hear you say "Contortionist"Originally Posted by rob101

Don't wear gloves, they get slippery when soaked in blood.

i was looking around for the procedure found a post by shogun for an e32 rhd microfilter change however the link was broken
does anyone have a copy or a new link that works?

Do they REALLY need to be changed... Or is it like the whole 'washing headlight reflector" thing (tho I think I'm gonna do that one!!)
Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(
And then...
Yes, they sit on the right side on a RHD too. The filter is 2 pieces, see how to slide the 2 parts out separately, otherwise you will never get it out becaue of the steering and the pedals.
Maybe you ask here

@Nick: just have a look at it, you will never ask again. There were some nice pics here last year of filter black like charcoal.
Full of bacteria, full of dust, full of moisture etc.
Here we go, RHD filter replacement.
Maybe you first have to register to see the instructions

yeah my air is not really coming through and all kinds of funky smells have developed. (one of them i think is the blower motor burning out slowwwwly).
and if i put the window down i am assaulted with exhaust fume (yes i know i have to get a new exhaust)
