Excessive misting of the front windscreen, and/or a musty stench is normally due to a clogged pollen filter – however it’s a simple job to replace it Parts Parts Required Astra Mk4 Pollen Filter Part No: 13175553 (previously 90520689) Tools required T20 Torx bit/Screw driver 6mm Socket Time taken: 30 minutes. Step 1 To start with you will need to remove your glovebox: there are six T20 Torx screws to be removed: 3 along the top edge and 3 along the bottom The 6th Torx screw is in the centre of bottom edge of the glovebox - it’s easier to undo the bottom 3 screws with the glovebox lid closed. With all the screws removed, pull the glovebox out slightly and disconnect the interior light and CD changer (if you have one) - remember to have the code handy for the CD, for when you come to refit it

Step 2 With the glovebox out of the way, look into the glovebox area and you will see two gold coloured bolts on the right hand side: these will both have to be removed using a 6mm socket to gain access to the pollen filter.
Once the bolts have been removed the area in yellow lifts up almost like a cat flap (or it can be unclipped) and remove the old filter – noting which way round it is fitted.

Step 3 Then re-fit the new filter - the correct way round!! Once the new pollen filter is installed, close/refit the flap put the both bolts back in their position Then refit the glovebox – remembering to re-connect the interior light, and recode the CD changer (if fitted) Job done!
