Breathe fresher air thanks to the Bosch activated charcoal cabin air filter. It reliably protects against pollen and fine particles that typically enter the vehicle via the air conditioner, ensuring outstanding filter performance by trapping harmful gases such as ozone and exhaust fumes, as well as foul-smelling gases. The Bosch Activated Carbon Cabin Filter also protects the air conditioning system from dust and dirt and reduces fogging on windscreens.

Review: Bosch R2597 Activated Carbon Cabin Filter - The Bosch R2597 Activated Carbon Cabin Filter is a significant upgrade over the standard "paper-only" filters that usually come with a car. Because it uses activated carbon, it doesn't just block physical debris like leaves and dead flies; it actually neutralises unpleasant smells—like the exhaust fumes of the bus in front of you or the "wet dog" scent that can linger in old air-con systems. It fits perfectly into the housing (assuming you’ve checked your model), and the immediate improvement in air quality is noticeable. If you suffer from hay fever, this filter acts as a high-security checkpoint, trapping pollen and fine dust before it reaches your lungs. While it’s providing fresh, crisp air right now, the real "truth" about activated carbon is its saturation point. Only time will tell how long that carbon layer remains active. Eventually, it will "fill up" with pollutants and become just another regular filter, meaning those city smells will start creeping back into the cabin. Bosch recommends replacing these every year or 15,000km for a reason. For now, it’s a premium, lung-saving necessity that keeps your car's interior smelling like a clean room rather than a motorway tunnel. Review: Great - Great product. Everything in good order. Very fast shipping. I recommend the seller. ## Features - Breathe fresher air: The Bosch Activated Carbon Cabin Filter captures pollen and fine dust, ensuring cleaner and more pleasant air quality in the vehicle - Against bad smells: Retains harmful gases such as ozone and exhaust fumes whilst neutralizing foul-smelling gases - Helps demist your windscreen: The cabin filter reduces windscreen misting, so you can set off faster when starting your car in the morning - Protects the air conditioner: The filter protects your car's air conditioning system from dust and dirt, helping it to stay cleaner - Compatibility: Input your vehicle identification number into the parts' search function to find the right cabin air filter for your vehicle - Installation manual included: Refer to the PDF instruction manual for guidance - All work should be carried out by trained professionals - Scope of delivery: 1 Bosch R2597 Activated Carbon Cabin Filter - Packaging dimensions: Height 34 mm, Length 210.8 mm, Width 271.8 mm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00C7P40IY | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,682 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) 5 in Car Air Cabin Air Filters | | Brand | Bosch | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,936) | | Date First Available | 5 April 2013 | | Item Weight | 260 g | | Item model number | 1987432597 | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Manufacturer part number | 1987432597 | | Model | 1987432597 | | OEM Part Number | AUDI 1K2819653A, SEAT 1K2819653A, SKODA 1K2819653A, VW 1K2819653, VW 1K2819653A | | Product Dimensions | 3.84 x 1.02 x 4.73 cm; 260 g | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bosch - **Compatible Air Conditioners:** Inventor Chilly 9000BTU - **Compatible devices:** Air Conditioner - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 04047024810099 - **Item weight:** 0.26 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** Bosch - **Material:** Filter material and activated carbon - **Number of items:** 1 - **Product dimensions:** 38L x 10W x 47Th millimetres - **Product grade:** Performance Part ## Images ![R2597 Activated Carbon Odour Control Cabin Filter - Dust and Pollen Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YQafPoWJL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this fit a 2011 audi s3?** A: Hi, we do have this one listed for that vehicle, so should fit fine. **Q: Will this fit a 2014 vw passat 2.0l bluemotion tdi** A: You would be best looking up a Volkswagen parts dealer site and putting in your registration number.
