Just wondering Is it really that important to everybody that the air you breath out side the car is filtered when you are inside the car? If I get a chance I will call Toyota Technical support on monday and see if I can dig up any hard facts. |

wildfires, high pollen counts all the time...plus all that circulating into the HVAC system isn't good for the motors/actuators and the blower motor....at least down here I would think it'd be bad for it... |

We have tons of pollen here which would make the filter nice in my car.

This is the letter I have sent to Toyota Europe!
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 said 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 59€. 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. It would be very kind of you to inform me 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? Thank you in advance! Waiting your quick response, Second letter and response.... Dear Mrs Mboga, Thank you for quick reply! You have answered me officially that Yaris SOL are shiped without a filter from the factory. I have allready (without waiting for your instruction) contacted Toyota Hellas S.A. and I am waiting their responce. I have some more questions for you. 1) Is passenger's health affected by the lack of cabin filter? 2) Why the filter is not mentioned in the extras catalog, along with the other accesories? 3) Why does Toyota sacrifises it's reputation for such a cheap accesorie? 4) Do you think that all these Yaris owner's who discovered this situation will buy again a Toyota? (It is not something obvious like the fog light's for e.x.!) I am sorry but I am realy mad and disappointed... Thank you very much for your time, ******** ********** Ref. 1017501 Brussels 13 March 2007 Dear Mr. *********, I contacted our technical department and they informed me that you can install a filter in your Yaris, I believe your Yaris is fitted with a manual A/C that is why it has no filter. Please note that the Yaris fitted with an automatic A/C has a filter. Nevertheless you can install the filter in your Yaris Part number is 87139 0D010. But as I do not have details of your vehicle I strongly advise you to contact your dealer or Toyota Hellas and they will be able to assist you further. In regard to your questions I have forwarded them to the relevant department. I hope this information will be of help. Kind regards, Yours sincerely, In addition I had exchanged many e-mails with Toyota Greece.... I don't have time to translate them...

This is manual:
and this auto: The first sends air till you freeze or you stop it... The second one sends air until the temperature reaches the prefered level, allready set by the driver...

Oh, I see. It looks like the more money you spend on options the better chance you have getting the filter.
The other thing I noticed about your picture was the black filter housing. Mine is white? BTW, do you have the push button starter on your car? |
05-06-2007, 04:51 PM | #50 |
The filter housing is as you see it in the picture.
I don't have the Start button! That is provided with the most expensive Yaris! About 17.000 euros.... I have paid 15.000! With 2000 more I would get: Fog lamps Front, Inside door handle in silver look, 15" Alloy Wheels, Auto A/C, Keyless Entry & Start and of course a ... cabin filter... The tragic thing is that the old Yaris/Echo had a cabin filter... The new one hasn't... Progress... Innovation... 15.000 € = 20.000$!!!!!!!!!! That is more than a year's salaries for me...

It looks like the designers got somthing wrong.The reason is because an auto would shut-off before any damage is done to the compressor,a manual could be left on as long as the key was in the ignition,as anyone left theyre's on all day?

You could make an auto A/C work all day! By setting the temperature at the lowest point on a hot day... Damage to the compressor?
