is that the same thing? The dealer said I need to replace a Air Filter it's 15% left.
How to install it and what Air Filter to buy? or he saying I need a Microfilter? I didnt really ask him because i know dealer will overcharge

Micro Filter is the Pollen Filter for the air coming into the cabin. You could replace it in under a minute! One each side of the engine bay. Good guides on this site.
The Air Filter is for the air coming into the engine. It is more like a 2 hour job on the diesel mode. Not sure it it's as difficult on the petrol.
Again, think there are good guides on this site.
Definately do the Pollen Micro Filter yourself. Your call on the Air Filter! I'm about to have my first go at it!!

Microfilter is a filter for your exhaust pipe. It filters out ALL the hazardous components so it doesnt deplete the ozone layer. The environmental friendly folks purchase a ton of these and wrap these fitlers around the exhaust tips.

U can always put an air freshener in the microfilter to make the car push out some nice scent.
