Administrators hughezee Posted September 2, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Pollen filter on 6th Gen Coupe CG2, it covers the 2.0, 3.0L models, the illustrations should be self explanatory really So once the two screws are removed as shown above, remove the ash tray and pull out the trim this will reveal another screw shown below. Now using your common sense remove the screws which are securing the glove-box as illustrated below. So once your confident the bolts & screws are all out, give the glove-box latch a hard pull upwards to free it? I would recommend giving the housing a good vacuum, then maybe a quick spray of bacterial solution. Now its just a case of reversal of removal and getting all the screws back in the right places and good luck. Any questions please ask as it was probably the most awkward pollen filter I've ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member Cryistic Posted November 14, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Once you have done it once its a doddle, everthing comes apart in a matter of minutes as its all good quality fixings. Investment in a set of JIS screwdrivers is a good way to keep all the fixings in good condition as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted February 5, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 After an epic struggle ( ) with the ashtray, then the lower panel and finally the glovebox I managed to get access to the cabin (pollen) filters. The turning point was when i realised the top and lower dash metal strengtheners had to come out too Anyhoo, the filters are out, someone has done the job in the past judging by the number of missing screws in the trim mounts and sure enough the filters are not too bad but not worth putting back in, genuine Honda ones too which confirm Honda servicing. Looking for replacement filters I found several that look about right and are listed for the coupe but they seem to supply only one filter unit at the quoted price and yet most pictures show that two are required. Is there a recommended supplier that the members use? Honda touch on the high price side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted February 5, 2017 Author Administrators Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Very good quality filters and they exceed the genuine ones by design and filtration element, providing you get genuine ADL Blue Print 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever designed this should be hung! Yep, bit of a pig first time around, i have a pile of bits sitting on the drivers seat! Took 45 mins to get out but could probably do it in 10 or less now I used the info of the thread as recommended but ended up doing a couple of things extra to get the glovebox out, it was made worse by the fact that some of my screws were already missing so the how to do it suggested i couldnt see the right bolt !

The only one that was missing is one of the two that are under the fuse cover. I have found a spare screw in my , err, spares !

Moderators PTR200S Posted February 7, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Right, job done, all the filters and bits of car back in now,,,, and I have nothing left over ! I used Blueprint ADH22509 filters, they seem ok, not as nice a fit as the genuine Honda ones but at £14.50 the pair who is arguing! Here are a few pics on the dismantling of the dash required to change the filters, there is a thread on the site done by Stu which is excellent and without which I would have struggled so these pics are complementary to that thread. (If they can be added to the other thread please feel free) Here is the hidden screw behind the ashtray Once the lower trim is off this screw needs to come out, bottom securing screw for the glovebox.. Taking this top plate off will help no end with removing the glovebox, it can be left to hang off one of the lefthand screws. Now the glovebox can be removed, assuming you have removed the screws in the box detailed in the other thread! This is the plug for the light, just squeeze and pull out. The bottom rail needs to come off now Here is the filter cover, lift catch off the bottom first and unhook it off the top mount Then just pull the filter carrier out carefully, two carriers , remove filter from carrier, vac out the orifice. And, as they say, replacement is a reversal of the removal process !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted February 7, 2017 Author Administrators Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Great Job The pollen filters can be tight so trimming the protruding edges a little will make them snug easily, even the originals need a little care when fitting and your old ones look like got a bit stretched during install' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted April 22, 2022 Moderators Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Well it's pollen (cabin ) filter time again!!! Can't believe it's five years since I last changed them !!! Haven't checked to see what they are like but as it takes a bit of time to dismantle and they are only about 12 quid a set I have ordered some blueprint filters again.. I will just change them rather than a clean and putting back together. The Coupe is going for a free aircon health check on Tuesday at Protyre who are also offering a 45 quid clean out, top up if required so might as well make sure filters are top notch. I think the aircon pressure is down, according to my gauge, so as tins of fluid are expensive now a proper check up seems appropriate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted April 22, 2022 Moderators Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Forgot to mention that they are £12 a set (two) off ebay......my trade outlets want over 16 quid !!!! Just got to make sure they are genuine blueprint though...seller assures me they are ,,,BuyCarSpares.co.uk..😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry93 Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Changed my pollen filters few days ago, after getting the car serviced. Didn't take any photos of the old filters, but the waste said it all. Sadly I don't think they were ever changed from new. Filters were original honda OEM, pure black 😬, replaced with Blueprint ones of eBay. Could have done with an air line to clean the housing from the amount of debris collected but a hoover had to do. Sprayed some anti bacterial fragrance inside to eliminate any odours. Definitely an improvement on interior airflow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted December 9, 2022 Moderators Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Excellent ! That looks like mine after I first got the Coupe, really bad , and original filters. !!!!!!!! Just seems that dealers servicing is not as it should be 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
