Hi, just a quick question. I was buying some service essentials from eurocarparts. Got confused with the cabin filter. Whats active carbon cabin filter and normal cabin filter? how can I find out which one I have?

Active carbon is normally a couple of quid extra and is a better filter iirc

As standard you'll have a normal filter. But the charcoal is just optional if you want it. Its supposed to help absorb smells to stop them coming into the cabin.

Ive just fitted the mann active carbon filter, old one looked better made had plastic casing on the filter but the mann one didnt, will buy one with a case next time.

Wouldn't worry about the casing. They generally have a foam bit at the bottom, makes no difference.
