Pollen filters performance

Post by xantiav6 »

When I bought my current Xantia a year ago, I replaced the pollen filter with a Puravent filter, which has a carbon filter and is claimed to have special filtering properties.
A week ago, I decided that it was time to change the filter again, and I fitted a standard filter from GSF.
I immediately noticed that I could smell fumes from smokey vehicles, and dust/pollen started irritating my eyes.
I have now fitted another Puravent, and am happy again. They are 3 times the price, but worth every penny if you suffer from a pollen allergy.
The Puravent filter does cut airflow a little.
I presume that the part that GSF supplies is similar specification to the Citroen original, but there is a better part available if your are prepared to pay for it.

Have fitted GSF pollen filters in both my Xsra VTR and the wifes Renault megane soft top and not had any trouble. If I'm wright the reno filter was the exactly the same as the gsf one down to the fitting arrows and part numbers. Mind the one for my Xsara is a little thin but still OK.
