Combination Cabin Air Filter
 
Combination Cabin Air Filter

 

This option assumes you have foglights & want to get rid of them, or need replacement info for the existing covers.

All 2003+ 9-3s have a cabin air filter. At the beginning of the 2003 model year, there were 2 kinds of cabin air filters. A Particle air filter & a Combination filter. Here are their descriptions:

Particle air filter: The fibres in the particle air filter stop larger particles but must rely on an electrostatic charge to trap smaller particles. Because of the electromagnetic charge, the filter attracts particles much in the same way as a magnet attracts metal filings.

Combination filter: A combination filter is available as optional equipment. The fibres in the particle air filter stop larger particles but must rely on an electrostatic charge to trap smaller particles. Because of the electromagnetic charge, the filter attracts particles much in the same way as a magnet attracts metal filings. Besides removing all visible particles, the filter removes particles such as pollen, plant spores and different types of dust from the cabin air. The active charcoal in the filter reduces the concentration of hazardous substances such as benzene and toluene.

The Particle filter was used on Manual Climate Control (MCC) vehicles, and the Combination filter was used on Automatic Climate Control (ACC). For some reason, use of the Combo filter was discontinued in all vehicles. If you should wish to replace your filter with the other, here is some information.  No Tech II change is required.
