While trying to fix a weak heater blower output, I've pulled the pollen filter out of the dashboard tonight, and its colour is on the black side of grey.
It is definitely filthy, and will get replaced tomorrow.
I waved the hoover at it for a couple of minutes, then refitted it, and the blower output has already improved noticeably, maybe from 10% of healthy, to 25% (random numbers chosen. The output is still weak)
New filters advertised online all seem to be white/yellow in colour.
But mine is so very dark grey, I am wondering if the filter was grey from the factory. If it WAS white/yellow when new, then it is pretty horrific.
The car is new to me, but 13 years old, and it's possible the filter has never been changed.
Does anyone know what colour the filter was from the factory ?
