Nice consumption Stu.
I just came back from one journey. 640km, 580km oh highway. No stop, only at border crossing.
Average consumption was 7.7l, and average speed 105km/h. Cca 6h15min...

Off topic: Car/engine starts to produce less noise when you pass 140km/h...mhmm...

I noticed as well that the noise does reduce at speeds of 140 (funny)
You must have had a few hills on your journey hence the 1 ltr more

Here is a unusual Photo of the EUROTUNNEL through the mirror of a LOGAN

Hi Stu,vhy buy a filter when you can rob your wife, just get a pair of silk stockings and put it over the air intake, and woops a perfekt filter for around 5 euro, and perhaps flowers to the wife,

So yesterday I saw post about polen filter for Logan, today I bought it (Renault service is the cheapest, filter for Clio III COD 7701062227 costs 1408 din, that is 17 E).
Finding housing for filter was easy, as well as cutting plastic material, Swiss army knife with small saw worths money cutting and smoothing edges took about 20 minutes, along with streching my back and arms
Filter fitted perfectly, but is NOT airtight, so when I turn ventilator at 3rd or 4th position, a bit of air is blowing around the filter. Then I took some silicone gasket maker, put it on filter edges and placed it in housing, and ola-la no more air blowing.
God help me when time for filter replacing comes

PS If somebody want pics, just ask

Last Night in Bed it came to me !!!! My Wifes sock 
No realy I stole two of my wifes small Bobby Socks (Small sock like Nylons)
Then took off the top of the air intake cover above the wiper motor and pulled them over it the right side fitted perfect and the left side I have done the half so I will still be getting a good airflow minus 80% of the rubbish that comes with it (and it does not restrict too much airflow)

I know this is an old topic, but this saved my car yesterday. I parked under a tree in full bloom, and it rained. Logan was full of flowers, and because the flowers were wet (because of rain) I couldn't clean them from my windows, hood & roof.

As it's warm in Croatia in the last few days, today I had to turn on the conditioning. No flowers came in the car because I took a nylon sock over airflow grills. Sock is full of flowers, like it should be!

Great! Tnx Martin!

Glad to have been of Help
I have no problems at all with flowers either and it is the cheap alternative
Stu

simple ,cheap and practical . i think i'll use the same system on my car .

Summer temperature will be only problem for this solution

WHY? YOU STILL GET THE SAME AIRFLOW

Just without the dust and flowers

sTu

Yes, but, summer temperature +parking + summer sun... broken sock very soon, but it easy for change

Don't think so, but as you say the stocking are cheap.

Those stockings dont bust mine has just done a full winter

Few days ago I replaced old polen filter, although it was old less than 20.000 km....I prefer to change it in spring co AC can demonstrate it's full potential......What a mess of dust, dirt, leaves and other stuff was in it

Bad news is that original Renault (for Clio 3, it fits perfectly) filter prices went sky high, and it costs some 2500 RSD (30 E) with installation (idiots call that installation, it is simple click-click) so I bought no-name filter for 1100 RSD (15E) and "installed" it myself.

I'm very sorry but I forgot to take pictures of changing process, so here are only pictures of polen filter as it should be.

.

MORE REASON TO HAVE THE STOCKING AS WELL .Then you will not need to change the fresh air filter so often

Nice photos mate and did you cut the hole yourself ??
Stu

TY for photos

I cut hole myself with Swiss army knife, it has saw for wood and metal, I forgot which one I used.

Although it is Dacia, it isn't bad enough to use socks instead of filter as it is supposed to be

Keka
there is nothing wrong with having the sock filter and like you said yourself

Stop the shit before it gets down there
(Its up to you ) #Stu

This is what I made before mounting clio3 dust filter. The only target is to stop big parts of leafs, not to be suck in dust filter.

I like that !!!
and I bet you could sell that on ebay for a good bit of money
in fact you could exchange with people they send you there filter and you send the new one 70 euro would be a worthwhile price
mmmmmmm we have the makings of the next Richard Branson
Stu

Here is a photo of my filter after 1 month .I cleaned it on my return from the UK in May
and this is it this week
Stu

Like i said this stuff will go down INTO the car and also block the small filter by the windscreen wipers and also could get into the wiper mechanism

Martin,

It is simple and practical.

Thanks,

Anjeev

I have installed the Clio III filter on my Logan MCV last week. I have used an electrical soldering iron with thin sharp end to cut the hole. It went like a charm, I had no need to finish the hole edges and the filter fits in perfectly. The loose air on the outline of the filter cap is negligible.
Surprising, I found very little debris in the fan coil case. I'm considering anyway to put also a fine wire mesh on the air intake grids (maybe some nylon stockings, like Stu, maybe some mosquito net, like some other forum mates).

Hi all I have read the options for the polen filters for the Logan and like the look of the green material on the underside of the panels. I have taken off the panels this afternoon and can't honestly see why you would put a filter on these panels.

I have a 1.6i Laureate on a 2005 would this be different?

Many thanks

Bod

martin245 you are a GENIUS

I Know !!!
