How often du you replace your particle filter?
Year 1 minor maintenance schedule calls for the replacement of the particle filter. My car is always garaged and it has only 3000 miles. I find it hard to believe that the particle filter needs to be replaced already.
When do you replace your filter?
Do you use a chacoal or paper filter? Part number would be appreciated.

when you say particle filter are you talking about the air filter in the engine of is there a cabin particle filter ? air filters are usually about 30,000 km or so dependant on usage ..

quite honestly it has nothing to do with maintenece of the car. I couldn't give a **** about a pollen filter in a car. I wish I didn't even have one. They could leave those for those newer 997s owners that have all the alergies

as for the Particle Filter i change mine accroding to the book... If you getting a funny smell when you turn your A/C on, that means your Filter is continimated, covered in Milldue/Fungus, time for a change... your Filter will usually smell funny in a year...

Fellas help me out here. Where do I find this particular particle filter on my car ? I have searched the owner's manual and can't find any mention of it anywhere. Which means that I must have some ferocious allergies/contaminants/fungi lurking in my cabin area (maybe the occassional rich fuel [carcinogenic] mix that I smell from the carburators kills those nasty little allergens and bacteria)...
