Vauxhall Opel Astra G Mk4 Irmscher Pollen Filter Replacement. I remove the pollen filter located behind the passenger glove box and replace with a new one. There are 2 types listed for this Vauxhall Astra MK4 so make sure you have the right one. This car had the wrong one installed and was forced into the chamber rendering it useless.

Thanks to all in the comments section who let me know the socket size was 5.5mm. I didn't know they made one.

@tonygriffiths2485 3 года назад

Sounds like Italian washing machine size :)

@davidh328 3 года назад

This is identical to the Astra H for anyone that’s interested. I’d also recommend hoovering out the filter housing before putting the new one in 👍🏻

@TheSavageGarage 3 года назад

I think the screws on the flap are 5.5mm, odd size! I remember struggling to find the right socket too

@mtbelly1972 3 года назад

5.5mm was used alot back in the days of old photocopiers and duplicators. Now a days it ain't used at all on them. Use to be able to get hold of the sockets easy back then.

@retrorestore 3 года назад

I didn't know they did a 5.5mm socket James. Good info.

@4418CARLOU Год назад

Where have you been hiding?

@mikeg8835 3 года назад

So rewarding when you've put something right like that mate

@grahamforster9812 3 года назад

Great video again must help lots of people. You can breathe more easily knowing its a 5.5mm socket.

@retrorestore 3 года назад

Very true lol

@pkautorepairs2826 3 года назад

They always tend to be a pain, I'm betting a garage did the bodge, you wouldn't do that to your own car surely. Great video Martin thank you 😊 👍

@retrorestore 3 года назад

Thanks 👍

@jackfairweather199 3 года назад

Just changed mine for our Honda today. A lot easier than your job!

@vijayantgovender2045 3 года назад

Thank you I always love watching your DIY videos I think someone changed the screws that is why it wasn’t matric screws I am from South Africa

@raying11 3 года назад

Soon as I saw the state of the cabin filter I thought someone's fitted the wrong size before lol

Thanks ✌

@a11csc 3 года назад

nice one martin

@geoffgreenhalgh3553 2 года назад

Did mine today. You are right, 7/32" is 5.5 mm. Didn't have one so used female torx. Small a adjustable was awkward. Bad design and stupid screws.

@paulwood7798 3 года назад

Nice one Martin sir.

@retrorestore 3 года назад

Thank you kindly

@retrorestore 3 года назад

Thanks Norm👍

@adierob1 3 года назад

What a right state that old filter was in and well spotted it was the wrong size, I wish car manufacturers didn't make them such a pig to get to. Nice work Martin.

@themidas2006 3 года назад

well done, nice short informative video

@retrorestore 3 года назад

Thank you!

@Jack_JJS 3 года назад

5.5mm usually, done a fair few cabin filters

@andynorris3537 3 года назад

Can vaguely remember having to buy a new socket when I had astra g's as nothing I had fitted

@valborchardt3596 3 года назад

Nice new intro....thank you ....

@whu58 2 года назад

Did you vacuum or brush out the air filter compartment before inserting the new filter?

@grahamforster9812 3 года назад

Hi martin what do you think of ASPEN PETROL in mowers and garden tool over the winter + i think you can get 2stroke for the old motorbikes. Bit expensive but if keep things good.

@retrorestore 3 года назад

I've never winterised any mower, strimmer ect and always used normal fuel Graham. Never had any problems bud.

@Parknest 3 года назад

I could tell straight away that the old filter was too big and had been forced in. As James has already said, the screws could well be 5.5mm. I've done this very job my Astra. I even did a service video. The pollen filter needs to changed every year as part of the annual service. I've started using Bosch filters when I buy from Euro Car Parts. The quality is noticeably better than the cheapest parts and only costs a little bit more.

@retrorestore 3 года назад

I never use Euro Car Parts any more, always had hassle with them

@mrbigvanlife7130 3 года назад

Yep 5.5 :-) the 7/32 fits more or less perfectly so either / or 😉

@BensWorkshop 3 года назад

I wonder how much force was used to put the wrong one in.

@vaux_wolf4281 3 года назад

I did my pollen filter on my focus mk2 you need to be a contortionist, Astra’s coming on now Martin, I had a Astra H mk5 1.6 petrol for about 10 years great engines👍

@retrorestore 3 года назад

Nice 👍

@melike1984 3 года назад

5,5mm for the socket it was then, i have had this on some rare occasions with things i fix. they dont want you changing it other than the dealer.

@retrorestore 3 года назад

I didn't know they did a 5.5mm socket.

@melike1984 3 года назад

@@retrorestore yes you have to look for them..... not in socket kits that you get normally

@JohnnyDub16 3 года назад

I wonder what the idea of 2 different size filters is? Maybe the other is for a left hand drive?

@procta2343 3 года назад

could be or they changed the system, made way through the cars production.

@rekordi 3 года назад

It is done to make sure you allways have the wrong filter. It goes in in such a awkward angle, that it is really common for the filter to be mangled like that. It is just a stupid design. Just as bad on the left hand drive version.
