Owner reviews for cabin filter

To make things easier, I put a K & N cabin filter in so I don’t have to replace it every year. I need to clean it as it’s due.

Mahle lao1595 are around £20 a piece (you need 2) on ebay, they’re one of the best cabin filters out there and way better than the plain carbon filters from tesla

I currently have the wix and it is working great for meZ

Using the reg of a 2015 MK7 golf I used to own, you can get a MANN cabin filter for £20 (high quality top end, can get much much cheaper), and they’re super easy to replace yourself (2mins).

I put a K&N cabin filter and it's been going strong, wash it out and dry, goes back in and still smells fresh.

I bought a K&N cabin air filter. I wash it in my bath tub. Dry it. Take some spray oil I made myself with essential scented oils, rubbing alcohol, and glycerine. Spray it on. Let it sit for 5 minutes in the sun. Pop right in. Completely fine.

Lightning here, so far just rotating tires and a new cabin filter.

I have one. I clean it when it starts to smell. I just use simple green to clean it. Now, does it let more particles in that I breathe in? Probably, but no worse than breathing in the air outside. The worst cabin filter I used was the Bosch HEPA. Too restrictive and as soon as 12,000 miles hit, it was clogged and I was miserable for a few days in the summer heat

I changed the micro filter, cabin filter, etc.. The smell seems to be strongest with heat set to 78 and when I am slowing down or coming to a stop and the auto engine shut off turns on and off.

Production markings on the side of the filter as shown in the pics above indicate that this is a BMW OEM part. I can’t imagine that Halfords would be installing genuine BMW filters. There’s no way that they changed this.
