anyone know if you can change or clean it. i know bob did the fan cleaning mod but is there a filter you can change or clean? thanks!

 

there should be a filter that you replace, might be located behind the dash requiring some screws to come out. on my buddy's bmw, its behind the glovebox and to the left, pain in the ass to get to, and to replace it, in part of the reinstalling procedure, you actually break part of it to get it back in crazy german care makers. probably not much of a help, but main point is there should be one, and yes you can replace it.

 

I'm pretty sure there isn't one on the 3rd gens, judging from the snow that occasionally comes through my vents. Interior filters are a relatively new thing.

 

yea, i had rainwater come through whenever i hit a puddle until i got the vents cleaned out (leaves were causing the water to enter right onto my feet while driving...)
