Pollen filter on 98 model Passat - Ritz-dog
Hi Guys and Gals, me again with another "has to be simple but can't find the right way" problem. I#m trying to change my pollen filter and I can't get it out. I have looked on the instruction supplied with the new filter and it says there are 3 clips I have to turn with a screwdriver to remove the top cover (by cover the picture displays the large plastic trim that runs along the base f the windscreen). My one doesn't have these clips and seems to be quite securly fastened somehow. I can see the filter but the gap I have isn't sufficient to remove and replace it.

Ideas greatly appreciated

The filter is behind the battery.

Remove the cross head screw with the huge washer on it and slide the cover out from ontop of the battery, this is a bit fiddly as is needs to be "flexed" over the terminals.
Replace filter and assemble in reverse order.

The instructions provided sound like those for a 3 series BMW, double check you have been supplied the correct filter.
