How to change the cabin filter on a Ford Focus?

Changing the cabin air filter on a European LHD Focus MK2/MK2.5 is a lot harder. On the LHD Focus the complete pedal box is mounted in front of the cabin air filter housing. The cabin air filter can only be changed after the pedal box has been removed. The welded nuts securing the pedal box do often come loose.

What kind of filter does Ford Focus Mk2 use?

On my LHD Focus MK2 I used Viledon filter material which is used in commercial and industrial airconditioning systems. This filter material is much more flexible than the original cabin air filter. Because of the flexibility it is poddible to change the filter without removing the pedal box.

Why does my Ford Focus fill with water?

Should you park on a hill, with the bonnet facing up the hill and it rains – your cabin filter will fill with water 😮 by capillary action from the badly designed scuttle, directly above it! Conversely, the Isuzu engine (still on Mk3 Astra) has a spectacularly awkward to get at oil filter!
