Pollen Filter - Replacement

D.I.Y- after 23,000km, since i've 4 days leave and got nothing to do, now is the good time for changing the pollen filter.
Bought this original GM Pollen Filter from GM, Hatyai SC.



Replacement step:
1. Remove the lower trip cover for aircond duct underneath the front passenger dashboard. Here you need to unfastened 2 unit clips and unscrew 2 unit fasteners using T20 torx screw driver.


the clips


2. Then, you need to remove the glovebox. Unscrew 3 units fasteners using T20 torx screw driver located on top and at side of the glove box.


3. There are another 2 fasteners located at the bottom of glovebox that you need to unscrew.


4. After dismantle the glovebox, it will look like this..you can see the pollen filter housing, but you need to dismantle the lower metal support to get access to open the pollen filter door housing.


Don't forget, before taking out the glovebox- detact the glovebox light receptacle.



5. Dismantle 4 fasteners using size 10mm socket and unclip the trim clip.


my advise, the unfastened the 2 left side fastener..it's better to removed the lower trim cover of side sill as this will provide space for socket.


6. Disconnect the air cond duct for foot. Then, you can see the pollen filter housing.



7. Pollen filter housing. Unclip 5 clip pin to open the housing door and you can see the filter inside



8. See the different...after 23,000km running



9. Make sure you install new pollen filter in the correct direction



10. Reinstall in reverse direction then..

Remus Muffler & Tailpipe

Stage 1 exhaust system upgrade. The factory fitted rear muffler looks OK, but rust is creeping. My option for upgrading my rear muffler is either supersprint or remus. In end, Remus is the choice of upgrading due to supersprint no longer do the Zafira A production.
Here is twin round 84mm diameter with laser etching remus logo marking..


No modification or welding required to fit in this remus muffler as this is a "plug & play" exhaust. Easy install...Flange connection and reuse gasket from the factory fitted muffler.


Installed to perfection...
