Original MANN-FILTER Interior Filter CUK 26 005 – Pollen filter with active charcoal – For passenger cars

Product Overview

The MANN‑FILTER Interior Filter CUK 26 005 is a high‑performance pollen filter with active charcoal designed specifically for passenger cars. It is engineered to capture airborne contaminants such as pollen, dust, and odour‑causing particles while allowing clean air to circulate throughout the vehicle’s cabin. The filter’s construction incorporates a multi‑layered media system that combines fine filtration with activated carbon for superior air quality.

Key Features

• Advanced Filtration Technology: The filter uses a three‑stage media system—pre‑filter, fine filter, and activated charcoal layer—to trap particles ranging from 0.3 µm to larger debris.
• Activated Charcoal Layer: This layer adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and neutralises unpleasant odours, ensuring a fresher cabin environment.
• High Airflow Capacity: Designed to maintain optimal airflow, the filter reduces resistance and preserves HVAC performance.
• Durable Construction: The filter housing is made from robust, heat‑resistant materials that withstand the temperature variations typical in automotive climates.
• OEM Compatibility: It is a direct replacement for the original MANN‑FILTER CUK 2639, guaranteeing a perfect fit in all compatible models.
• Easy Installation: The filter’s standard dimensions (260 mm length) allow for straightforward removal and replacement without special tools.

Compatibility Matrix

The CUK 26 005 is engineered for a wide range of passenger cars, particularly those from the Renault family. Below is an illustrative list of compatible models:

Installation Guide

Replacing the cabin air filter is a routine maintenance task that can be completed in under ten minutes. Follow these steps for optimal results:

1. Locate the filter compartment: In most vehicles, it is situated beneath the front passenger’s seat or behind a panel in the engine bay.
2. Open the housing: Remove any screws or clips securing the filter cover.
3. Remove the old filter: Gently pull it out, noting its orientation (the airflow arrow should point towards the HVAC system).
4. Insert the new filter: Align the airflow arrow with the HVAC duct and slide it into place.
5. Secure the housing: Replace screws or clips and close the cover.
6. Verify airflow: Turn on the HVAC system to ensure smooth operation and check for any unusual noises.

Performance Benefits

• Improved Cabin Air Quality: By trapping pollen and dust, the filter reduces allergens that can trigger respiratory issues.
• Odour Reduction: The activated charcoal layer neutralises cooking, cigarette, and chemical smells.
• HVAC Efficiency: Maintaining low airflow resistance keeps the heating and cooling systems operating at peak efficiency.
• Extended Filter Life: The robust media design resists clogging, allowing the filter to remain effective for longer periods.

Maintenance Tips

To preserve the filter’s performance, consider the following practices:

• Regular Inspection: Check the filter every 12,000–15,000 km or annually, whichever comes first.
• Replace When Stained: If the filter shows visible dirt or discoloration, replace it immediately.
• Avoid Overloading: In dusty environments, consider more frequent replacements to prevent airflow restriction.
• Store Properly: Keep spare filters in a dry, sealed container to protect them from moisture and contaminants.
