So both filters essentially do the same thing, but the carbon one also takes care of exhaust gases?

Seems like a good idea.

the basic ryco filter would just be for dust and particles whereas the carbon one gets interior/exterior fumes & gases + the other stuff.

Thanks. Looks like a great option then - I'll order one tomorrow.

Picked it up this morning, works a treat.

It came with the flap cover (or whatever you call it) but it’s not a perfect fit like the genuine one - it still does the job just a bit fiddly to get it in position.

At least I can now leave the climate control on auto and not dive for the recirculate and fan speed buttons every time I get stuck behind and old clapped out diesel bus! (for a lazy bastard like me that’s a huge inconvenience )

Just make sure the clowns get the right one in, RCA100C for the carbon one.

The pollen filter goers in the glove box?! Well, I'll be damned. Could someone please explain exactly where (I'll have a look tonight when I get home)?

And you reckon this carbon activated filter is better than the pollen one from Ford? By a long shot? 

Might have to look into this as my wife is forever complaining about exhaust fumes, and we don't even have a pollen filter.

If she so concerned about exhaust fumes tell her to stop feeding you bean and boiled cabbage...?

Nice one.

What about the Price,

74 big ones

good stuff tab, the base model Ryco filter, is it just sh*tty paper or is it kinda woolen/fibrous like the stock engine air filters type material??

Didn't get a real good look at it (wasn't real impressed at the time) - but it's more on the paper side than the wooly side if that makes any sense

The carbon one is probably just a bit of grey paper that they whack an extra $30 on for suckers like me to buy.

Double checked with Bosch - talked to the product manager of filters....apparently they are a while away from offering them in Australia. Gotta get all sorts of approvals and so on.
