Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

That's the fresh air inlet for a RHD car. The HVAC components are mirrored on those. The pollen filter would be above it.
On a lhd car all u will find under that is the top of the fuse panel. As said above look under the other side plastic and u will see the filter and top of the hvac unit. U wont be able to do much from there and if u hit the black foam on the vent doors it will disinagrate.
