Bosch Air Filter

Well, here is a good reason to change your own cabin filter ---- The stealership will NOT do it, because they know the average person will never check.....

The Bosch upgrade is a "must have"...

RE: Bosch Air Filter

Yes the activated charcoal really makes a difference in the filtering process compared to the OEM filter. I just put one in my truck this spring. [;)]

Has this happened to you? I have had mine replaced twice and they sure charged me for it but I have the same damn crappy smell...

RE: Bosch Air Filter

Yes, that did happen to me.. after paying for "B" Service --- I still had that crappy smell!!!!! Three days ago after upgraded to the Bosch, the smell is now gone -- The plastic panel in front of passenger seat is easy to remove, thirty bucks for a PREMIUM CABIN FILTER is a must, no more smell, no mold odor, just clean cabin air.[:D][:D][:D][:D]


Oh, that does look to be the same one, but it is kind of odd they dont say the name brand. [?]
