How to Change the Pollen Filter on an Opel Astra

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Cabin air filter

Here's how to change the pollen filter on an Opel Astra. Open the glove compartment and unclip the plastic guides (if present on the sides of the drawer), unscrew the pins around the perimeter; rotate the glove compartment forward, remove the cover plug, and pull out the air filter from the housing as shown in the video. Once this operation is complete, insert the new air filter into the filter holder (ensure the filter is inserted correctly without bending it). Finally, refit the cover of the box and all components of the glove compartment as they were removed previously.
