Is there a ventilation system air filter on the FTO?

Postby Mustang » Wed Sep 01, 2004 9:46 am

Is there a cabin/ a/c ventilation system air filter on the FTO? I've trawled through all the workshop manuals and can't find any reference to one :?
If there is one, can someone please explain where it's located :?:
If there is not one, can someone please explain why there is not an air filter of this kind, as it seems to be a common feature on other cars :?:

In a word, no.

No idea why Mitsi didn't install one TBH.

Thanks CJ, that's that mystery solved. Was hoping that a replacement filter might help with the musty smell from the a/c. I've tried the anti-bac spray, at the inlets, and tried spraying it into the blower assembly as recommended by Steve Hemming, this only ever seems to temporarily relieve the problem.

I've had the same problem, I find that runnind the a/c regularly lessens the issue, anti-bac spray sorts it out for a few weeks and thats it.
