How about Halfords or whatever auto accessories stores are named where you are. They should have parts like that...

Didn't the dealer quote a price to have it ordered in?

You can get a non-genuine one from ECP for £13.00 if you use the discount code MOT10 at checkout:

(double check that's the right part by using your reg number)

Assuming you've already removed it to have a look, am I right in thinking the pollen filter is located behind the glove box and fairly straightforward to get to?

That is what I was thinking.  Though you can get them through Super Cheap for cheap enough.

For Australian members who suffer from hay fever and the like, it's interesting to know that according to

:link: Sneeze and drive? This could be why (http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/sneeze-and-drive-this-could-be-why-20150810-giveg1.html)

Of the top seven best-selling cars in Australia, only the Hyundai i30 has a conventional particulate or pollen filter in addition to an activated carbon filter.

Isn't the pollen filter replacement included to the annual service? In Finland it is, with a rip off price of course.

Last year I had quite a sour discussion about it with my dealer, when they wanted to charge 76 Euros for the pollen filter when I was in for the annual service.  :fum: They weren't keen about the idea that I will replace it myself, possibly using cheap 3rd party filter. They firmly stated that if I want it to be excluded, they will not put stamp to the service book, and replacing it myself is not approved either because they can't know for sure it's been replaced using genuine part (or replaced at all). However, when I was about to march out they offered 20 Euros of discount for the pollen filter. The price must really be over-inflated if it was that easy to get such discount...

According to this (link (https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=36509.0)) it is only ever inspected on a routine service (applies to the UK only).

Yup inspected - replaced if required.  Mine always seems to need replacement.

Toyota dealer tried that on with my wife's Corolla. About $90 fitted.  About $20 for a Ryco filter at Super Cheap.
I must admit I haven't got around to replacing it yet, nor my Hyundai nearly 6 years old one.
Is it just me? Having driven for nearly 50 years without pollen filters I can't get enthusiastic about them.

I get hay-fever - can get it very bad (chest infection) when doing certain things - so I haven't worried too much about them replacing it.  Of course my next service (big 90k) will be outside of warranty - so I will probably change it myself in future.

When mowing the lawns I wear an organic vapor respirator - paper masks don't fit me well enough - while, to an extent, it is over the top (being it is the primary purpose I got it) in terms of filtering... it certainly works.  And, of course, I can also use it for things it was designed for - vapuors from paint solvents/chemicals, etc., not that I am often dealing with them.

I'm mildly allergic to pretty much all grass and seeds but get by. My wife is asthmatic but the car doesn't worry her. In fact, in the past a drive in the car with windows down, or up with aircon on, gives her some relief.

If you remove the filter you would be surprise how dirty it is. I checked mine for a 2 years old car is very dirty but will make sure I check it and change it whenever I do a servicing If I have to and its a 5 mins job.
