Pollen / Cabin Filter - Bosch - Blue

The primary function is to clean the air entering your vehicle's cabin, removing dust, pollen, soot, and other airborne particles, while the activated carbon variant also neutralizes odors and filters out harmful gases.

It is generally recommended to replace the cabin air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or once a year, but always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the manufacturer's specific recommendation.

This specific filter (0986628632) is designed for various VAUXHALL and Opel Astra models manufactured from 1998 onwards. Always confirm compatibility with your vehicle's specific year, make, and model.

The basic version primarily filters particles, while the active carbon version (like 0986628632) includes an additional layer that adsorbs odors, gases, and pollutants, offering a higher level of air purification.

The activated carbon layer helps trap microscopic allergens such as pollen, mold spores, and dust mite debris, which can significantly reduce allergy symptoms for sensitive individuals while driving.

No, cabin air filters are designed for single use and replacement. Cleaning is not effective, and a clogged filter will impede airflow and reduce its filtering capabilities.

The dimensions are approximately 292mm in length, 199mm in width, and 30mm in height.

The filter may be clogged. Replace the cabin air filter following the installation instructions.

Ensure you have the activated carbon version (1987435514 or equivalent like 0986628632). If odors persist after replacement, check for other sources of odor within the vehicle.

Double-check the part number and vehicle compatibility. Ensure no debris is obstructing the filter housing. Reinstall carefully, aligning with the housing guides.
