so there is no use in going to the dealership to complain about the lack of the filter and trying to get one for free?

Base hatchback model without A/C has the filter from factory here in Canada. But the filter is so thin, I decided to add a towel on cabin the air intake (under the hood)

I wonder what kind of response we would get if we e-mailed Toyota?
Can one of the resident computer wizards throw together a form letter that would could add our perspective names too? |

The best piece I have found so far is $25.00.
http://www.metrotpn.com/ProductDetai...33&SortIndex=6 It looks like Bosch actually makes some nice cabin air filters (charcoal & particulate), but no listing yet |

I just read a note concerning the filter causing possible cooling problema in certain vehicles as ToyotaTEch21 mentioned. It looks like they where designed for it in the begining, but issues resulted in them not being used. I can understand them not changing the component design just to reflect lack of filter. If they had done so then the cost would simply have been passed on to us in the end.

Plus we can greatly benefit putting in our own filter.... I use Purolator C38188 cabin filter and it works great. Ran A/C today with no problems ( even on "low" fan setting). I checked with local Toyota dealer's parts dept ( Don Joseph in Kent, OH) and the counter dude was suprised that there IS a part listed in the book. He quoted me @ $ 32.40 plus tx on OEM Toyota cabin filter for my Yaris............duh

From what I gathered there was an overheating problem with the filter installed. They (article) did not get very specific, but I assume it was the AC system that was effected. So, if you live in Canada (my assumption) it would most likely not be as much of a factor as living in Saudi Arabia when it comes to normal operating temperatures. But of course I am a nobody and all this theory is worth about one squirt of duck shit in the real world.
