Hi All,

I have a pollen filter replacement due to the fact taht the dealer supplied one seems a bit substandard. I am popping in a Mann Frecious Plus filter that has done me well over the years. Problem I have currently is the interior windscreen gets covered with a fine layer of "gunk" on a very frequent basis where it never used to suffer this way. My first action is to put in a better filter to see if it helps but the problem is that I don't know the correct flow direction. I don't want to trust the old placement as a guide (as this could be the cause of the issue). I have checked the workshop manual "Maintenance Karoq 2018 ➤ Edition 10.2017" but this does not tell me either. It simply states: "Pay attention to the installation position".

Very helpful (not).

Does anyone know the correct direction please?

thanks

Paul

The new replacement filter clearly indicates the air flow direction, to ensure correct fitment.

Correct. But which way does the air flow. top to bottom or botom to top.

I guess I'll have to get a paper tissue in there and see if its sucked up or down :-)

Ah OK, the arrow points downwards on any car I've replaced the air filter. This indicates the air flows down.

Confirmed - air flow is downwards.
