Cabin filter Mann or OEM Honda

Engine/Cabin filter; DIY with mann filters, should be like $50 for both

I went with the Mann filter to get Polyphenol for mold and bacteria protection along with the carbon.

This Mann cabin air filter is probably the best one I’ve ever used. I could be behind a diesel truck and smell nothing but clean air.

Go on amazon and look for a Mann Frecious Plus filter, its as good as it gets

I switched over to Mann biofilter and had positive results esp w/ smells.

I really love the new filter I got. Its more expensive than OEM though. The thing about the new filter is it has both carbon and a polyphenol coating. I noticed that when my engine shuts down during start/stop that the air con doesnt have a wet dog smell anymore.

The second replacement filter was a Mann activated charcoal filter which does seem to help keep the interior smelling even fresher.

Compared to the honda ones I don't notice a difference in the cabin air. They fitted fine and saved me about $20 bucks.

What finally seemed to help was replacing the cabin air filter (did myself in 3/2017) with one of the MANN charcoal filters (FP26 009 "Frecious Plus"). Perhaps this was just coincidental, but we have not experienced the problem since changing the filter.

You can get the engine and cabin filters on Amazon and save yourself $150+ dollars. Look up Mann filters (which is the same thing VW uses) for you year.
