Liftback Air Conditioning (Cabin) Filter info

[Snappy]

Like at least some others, I saw the filter replacement info in the owners manual and thought that a cabin filter would be a great thing to have. Went to the local US dealer with the filter p/n I had obtained from a Canadian dealer (87139-52020.) Dealer looks up part, it updates to a different filter, p/n 88568-52010-83, which is the flimsy flat sheet with raised pleats, made in the US, which fits, sorta, in the filter slot (edges look like air could seep around the filter somewhat.) Dealer shows me a printed card saying that US Yaris' cannot be updated to the A/C filter, but I buy it anyway. Fits So-so.
Yesterday I drive to the Canadian dealer for all-season mats and a block heater, and ask about the cabin filter. They have the 87139-52020 filter, which is made in japan, looks JUST like the illustration in the owners manual, and fits perfectly. There is no sticker in the box, like my old WRX had, to remind you to replace it. For me at least, I will buy the Canadian part for the future, as long as it is the same design.

Wait, we have a cabin air filter? i thought the yaris didn't have one. damn it, i was hoping for slightly less maintenance costs. eh, no biggie.

Ive made my own filter,it looks sorta out of shape in the pictures,but it is shapable,and works well to get the perfect fit.

It is a WebFilter,thats the name of the package,it comes with the frame,and the filters,I doubled up on the blue filter,still no loss of air pressure,well not noticable anyway.You need to cut to size,I get about four filters per package.

We don't, it's optional. There's a thread around here somewhere where someone bought some sort of home/general purpose odor filter at Lowes or Home Depot and it fit pretty much perfectly.... not the same as the above posted... hmm, I have no clue where that thread has gone...

[eco]

You might be thinking of the one above,I dont remember anyone else doing this here.

[paultyler_82]

I could have swore someone was talking about a filter they bought at Lowes, had a tray, a filter and two charcoal sheets.... maybe it was the other Yaris forum, i dunno

[eco]

It was me,Im pretty sure.

[paultyler_82]

Here's the one I was thinking of, it's actually on the Scionlife forums: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20753

[eco]

Ok,because I posted there to,thats where I got the idea.

[eco]

Thats my black sedan on page 5.

[paultyler_82]

I was specifically thinking of the one down the page where they used that grid to lock the filters into the tray... but I take it our cars dont have those trays, do they?

[eco]

Nope.

[paultyler_82]

Hah! That figures I guess, so that's why you made your own tray.

[eco]

Yep,its not that hard,and Im going to do a DIY,and going to see if I can find a better product,the Webfilter's work great,but I still like to see if theres somthing new.

IF anyone wants to get oem toyota use part#88568-52010-83 for the filter and 88548-52040 for the filter case.....

Here in Greece, only the Sol+ version of the new Yaris has a cabin air filter.

[eco]

RocklandToyota,are those #'s the same for the US sedan.

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

im taking a chance and if you want to wait til tuesday i'll let you know......

Here in Greece, only the Sol+ version of the new Yaris has a cabin air filter.

The filter costs in Greece 55 euros!!!!!!!! So I have sent an E-mail to Toyota Europe:


Corinth, Greece 8th of March 2007


Dear sir/madam,

I am an owner of a Toyota Yaris 1.3 5D SOL, which I bought in Greece one (1) year ago. I have paid almost 15.000 € and till now I am very satisfied with my car. Nevertheless, with this e-mail I would like to make a complaint.

A few days ago I discovered that my car is not equipped with an A/C filter (situated behind the glove compartment). That fact was not mentioned by the salesman when I bought the car and the owner’s manual does not mention that the filter is extra and installed in some versions only!

Further to our telephone conversation (08/03/2007) about the lack of cabin filter, I have spoken with Toyota Hellas – Greece, as I was instructed by your Customer Service. They told me that the lack of cabin filter is normal and I could buy it. Unfortunately my dealer says that he cannot order it. Another dealer said that he found it and it costs 55€. I think that I will find a solution and I will finally manage to buy the filter.

As I am allergic and air pollution is high where I live, I consider this matter very important. It is a matter of health and comfort. I strongly believe that Toyota, the world’s second car manufacturer shares the same ideas about the importance of health and comfort. I would like to be informed officially, in order to protect my legal right’s, if the lack of cabin filter in my Yaris version is a policy of Toyota Europe or Toyota Hellas – Greece. The car is shipped from France with or without the filter?

Waiting your quick response,

here's an update for the liftback and sedan users: use part number 87139-52020 for the filter and it fits directly in space with no mods.......

[mimelio]

Part number C35667 is exact fit for Yaris Hatchback

I simply went down to the local Walmart and looked it up in the book. It gave me CF10285 for the cabin filter.:confused:

that sounds like an internal wal-mart part number.
