Original MANN-FILTER Interior Filter CUK 24 004 – Pollen filter with active charcoal – For passenger cars

Original MANN‑FILTER Interior Filter CUK 24 004 – Pollen Filter with Active Charcoal

The MANN‑FILTER CUK 24 004 is a high‑performance cabin air filter designed to protect the interior of passenger cars from dust, pollen and airborne pollutants. It combines a fine mechanical filtration layer with an integrated activated charcoal element, ensuring that both particulate matter and odorous gases are effectively removed before they reach the driver’s cabin.

Key Features

• Dual‑Stage Filtration: The filter uses a two‑layer construction: an outer layer captures larger particles, while the inner charcoal layer adsorbs smaller particulates and neutralises unpleasant odors.
• High Efficiency: Rated to remove up to 99.9 % of airborne dust and pollen, providing a cleaner breathing environment for occupants.
• Low Air Resistance: Designed with an optimized airflow path, the filter maintains engine efficiency by minimizing pressure drop across the cabin air system.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑quality synthetic fibers and a robust charcoal matrix, it offers long service life under typical automotive operating conditions.
• Easy Installation: The filter’s dimensions (194 mm length × 20 mm height) match the OEM specifications for a wide range of Hyundai and Kia models, ensuring a snug fit without modification.

Compatibility Overview

The CUK 24 004 is engineered to fit seamlessly into the cabin air systems of numerous modern vehicles. Below are representative model families that accept this filter:

• Hyundai Ioniq, ix35, Tucson, and Niro
• Kia Sportage, Niro, and various IX35 variants (LM, EL, ELH)
• Other vehicles with the same OEM part numbers: 97133‑G2000, 971332E260AT, 971330Z000, 97133F2100.

Because the filter is an OEM replacement, it aligns perfectly with the vehicle’s airflow design and maintains the original cabin air quality standards set by the manufacturer.

Installation Guide

1. Locate the Cabin Air Filter Compartment: In most models, this is situated behind the glove box or under the dashboard on the passenger side.
2. Open the Cover: Remove any screws or clips securing the filter housing. Gently lift the cover to expose the old filter.
3. Remove the Old Filter: Pull the worn filter out, taking care not to disturb surrounding components.
4. Insert the CUK 24 004: Align the new filter with the airflow direction indicator (usually marked on the housing). Slide it into place until it clicks or locks securely.
5. Reassemble: Replace the cover and secure any screws or clips. Ensure that the compartment is sealed to prevent air leaks.
6. Verify Operation: Start the vehicle and check for normal airflow through the ventilation system. The filter should not impede airflow noticeably.

Performance Benefits

Installing the MANN‑FILTER CUK 24 004 delivers several tangible advantages to drivers and passengers alike:

• Improved Air Quality: By trapping fine dust, pollen, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the filter reduces allergens and harmful substances inside the cabin.
• Enhanced Comfort: The charcoal layer neutralises odors from exhaust gases, cooking, or environmental sources, creating a fresher interior atmosphere.
• Engine Efficiency Preservation: Low pressure drop ensures that the HVAC system operates at optimal efficiency, avoiding unnecessary strain on the engine.
• Longevity of Interior Components: Cleaner air reduces wear on seats, upholstery, and electronic controls, extending their usable life.

Maintenance Recommendations

While the CUK 24 004 is designed for long service life, regular inspection remains essential. A general guideline is to replace the filter every 12–15 months or after 10,000–15,000 miles (whichever comes first), depending on driving conditions such as dusty roads or heavy traffic. Signs that a replacement is needed include:

• Reduced airflow through vents
• Noticeable cabin odors despite the HVAC system being on
• Visible accumulation of dust on the filter housing
