Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Lever - 3409-
- Cover plate - T10532-
- Conventional vacuum cleaner
Should the retaining tabs -B- break (both on the air conditioning unit as well as the cover -A-), the cover -A- can also be attached to the air conditioning unit with 2 self-tapping screws -C- (e.g. 3.5 x 16 mm or 4.0 x 16 mm - Parts catalogue ).
For this purpose two holes are to be drilled in the cover -A- at both attachment points marked with -D- with a diameter of 4.5 mm.
The cover -A- can be equipped with a hook -E- which is used for removing the dust and pollen filter.
NOTICE Depending on equipment there are various filters for this vehicle.
In vehicles with manual air conditioning control, the dust and pollen filter is installed ex-factory "without" activated carbon filter.
When servicing a dust and pollen filter with activated charcoal - Parts catalogue can be fitted in these vehicles.
The activated carbon filter takes over the function of a dust and pollen filter, but also filters dangerous gaseous pollutants such as ozone, benzene or nitrogen dioxide, etc.
The activated charcoal layer in the dust and pollen filter becomes saturated after a certain length of time.
A saturated filter can no longer absorb any hazardous substances.
