    Default Activated charcoal cabin filter

    Bavauto in an e-mail told me their cabin filter is actiivated charcoal and is made by Mann. Never seen one for our cars before.

    Me too. I could use it for a cookout instead of just dumping it in a landfill.

    Interior Cabin Air Microfilter - Activated Charcoal
    Cabin air filters should be replaced every 10,000 miles or once a year. Saturated filters have an adverse effect on blower output and may hinder or prevent the defogging of windshields or side windows.

    Default I don thin so Lucy, if you look at the mann

    filter catalogue on mann's own website, their combi filter or charcoal filter is called adsotop, i don't believe they show an adsotop filter for your car in it. The normal mann cabin filter has a CU number on it , the combi cabin filter which is the carbon one has a CUK number. Check mann's online catalogue here....

    Of course it may be a new item that they haven't updated the online catalogue for.. but it seems unlikely. The charcoal filters are obvious in appearance and price also..

    Good point, this is why i contacted them. Even so, my confidence level in Bavauto's data is not super high. Thought someone here would know the true story. Thank you (as usual!)
