I just got a 2003 X-Type 2.5 and the smell of urine coming from vents was nasty... I told my husband to shampoo those filthy carpets...he didn't he said no is not the carpet...so I got my self a job to learn how to take care the car, I bump unto jaguarforums.com I log in and I found an answer for my problem, in order to clean the smell I have to replace the pollen filter (cabin filter) (air filter) ..anyway i got one at the dealer $29.99 not bad it has the leaper on it!...cute, ...thank you for all your help

 

Hey there, I'm glad you posted the pics, I found them useful for locating the filter. I am doing my pollen filter tonight.

 

thnx for pics. going to see if i can get a filter today at local auto store

 

Good write up!

Just an FYI, there is no need to get ANY of the filters from the dealer. All the Jag filters (air, cabin, oil and fuel) are made by Mann-Hummel and can be purchased from Amazon for much, much less. They're also a much better deal and quality (German vs Chinese made) than what you'd get over the counter at local stores.

 

Another good source is Welsh Enterprises.www.welshent.com

I have purchased many items from that supplier of new and used Jaguar parts and acccessories.

 

Hey bill what do you use to clean and dress your engine compartment? It looks great.

 

Thanks, Gman1957. I just wipe it down like after every wash and then spray Armorall on the engine and wipe that down with a sponge or cloth depending on the area. Thanks, again. Bill

 

I also replaced my cabin filter recently. But while waiting for the new filter to arrive I sprayed the old filter and the vent areas with Fabrise and let the AC run for 30 minutes or so. It cleaned up any lingering smells. My problem was a damp 'wet dog' smell.

 

What about Autozone? What are the steps to replacing this? I am looking for the manual and can't find one.
