Read from post 17 on in this thread. This has resolved the issue for more than a few people.

Yup, basically mentioned that in one of my posts above as well. Bottom line is to drive with the A/C off and recirculate off (draw in outside air) for a few minutes before parking to dry out any condensation.

If its already really bad you might need to do a treatment.

My video at 2:53 shows how the arrows should be oriented.

So FCP gives no hassle returning your old air filter and they even credit you? How does that business model even work? I mean, it sounds like they are just giving away free air filters? I understand they have a warranty but an air filter is supposed to get dirty so how does this even qualify? Just asking because I honestly never heard this and I think I just saw someone else mention the free replacement on another DIY video.

Thanks in advance!

Go to FCP euro website and just read it. They offer free replacement (lifetime warranty) of basically all wear items. Yes, it seems like a confusing and not profitable business model; they provide more information on their website.
