POLLEN FILTER

[Storm Trooper]

Hi guys

i just spoke to my local mitsi Parts department regarding getting a pollen filter, i was informed that if it was installed they should be available... but on his system they don't have a part number!

does anyone have an original or aftermarket pollen filter installed on their Triton?

anyone ...... ?

Not as far as i know on my 2008 model ML Single Cab Chassis.
But i could be in for a shock when i take it in for the 30K service in a couple of months.

Sorry to sound ignorant but where would it be, if I had one? Is it just another fancy name for an air filter?

[snowman]

it is part of the heating and vent system (for occupants). not sure where it is (it will be in under the dash somewhere near the fan). i am pretty sure all models from VR and up have them. not sure about GLX though.

yeah the pollen filter is basically a (air) filter for your aircondition system, which is under the dash, most new cars have an option to fit them if not already fitted.

i thought the GLX was a model above the VR ? or do i have it the other way round, i thought the model line up is (starting from base model) VR, GLX, GLX-R and GLS.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think it goes, GLX, VR, GLX-R and GLS Storm Trooper.

By jove! Greeny has it.

i'll take your word for it greeny, do you know that they sand for (GLX, VR etc)?

that sorts out the model line up, but what about the pollen filter

[trickydevil]

I thought the pollen filter was the white stuff on the underside of the stock air filter.

No, thats cotton wool...you can use it for removing nail polish!!

Any answer to the Pollen Filter location / part number?

I have called multiple Mitsubishi dealers and no one can help.

After driving offroad on beach etc, i turn on my aircon and sand spits out the vents... My old 03 Triton never did this so I hope there is a fix for my 07 Triton GLX-R.

Cheers

I had a look under the dash and a feel around the fan unit and don't think you're gonna be in luck.

Only other place there could be one is under the plastic grill below the windscreen, but this doesn't look like its supposed to come off any time.

If the beach is the main problem, maybe shaping some foam bits to clip over the intake grills may solve your problem - easy to fit and remove, clean, etc.

There was a post a long time back that said the filter from a lancer would do the trick. Apparently there is a cut out panel that needs to be removed.
