Besides being an easy DIY...A picture (or five) is worth a thousand words.....

Only thing is that I lost one knurled nut down a crevice that is unreachable on the very last step in completing the DIY . I got sloppy trying to screw it on while watching Tiger Woods and Y.E. Yang battle it out for the PGA Championship...

Yuk! How many miles on those "puppies?

Acquired the car with 81k and there doesn't appear to be any record of it being changed prior......


actually smells cleaner now....

That must have happened as YANG hit that second shot on the 18th!!!!! What a shot!!!

got*ki

Yes, he was steady today...

In one of the early rounds, I remember one of the broadcasters mentioning a story about talking to Yang's coach and the coach was stating that timing-wise, Y.E. has a very good chance to win it...this with Yang being several shots back of Tiger. Sure enough, he called it....

I thought the pollen filters on the 993 were flat?

I should probably change mine. How long did it take? How many filters?

Thanks,

Paul.

The DIY instructions are on p-car.com and also in the 993 Essential Companion. Everything is slotted, so everything needs to snug up back into its slotted place (including the filter - filter fits into a slot as well as the filter tab). About 10-15 minutes each side.

Pollen filters cost approx $20 each / two required.

Oh, and don't watch TV when doing it.

Thanks!

I don't think it needs 81K miles to look like that - mine were similar at 26000 miles.

At my PPI the tech pulled mine out and they looked like that @ 34K miles.

IIRC they look like that after 10K miles or so; doesn't take too long or them to look pretty crappy. don't know if it affects how they work.

Anyone have any problems changing the driver's side pollen filter? I had no problems changing the passenger side, but trying to remove the cover on the driver's side and it's not budging!

Sometimes they are a tight fit. Seems to come off eventually, kinda have to shimmy it up a little. Aren't there little clips on the side that come off besides the nut?
