No original cabin filter?! - Toyota Yaris Forums

JerseyJeff84 · 07-13-2012, 01:18 AM

I changed my Dad's '10 Corolla cabin filter recently and decided to do mine as well, on my '10 Yaris Sedan. When I removed the cover, it was empty! Has anyone else heard of this happening? I struggled a bit to get the filter to fit, but was able to end up securely closing the cover panel. My Yaris is a base model, maybe that's why I had no filter, because a base is just bare bones?

I bought my 2010 sedan loaded (with more stuff than I wanted or needed) and it didn't have a cabin filter.
I'm pretty sure they all ship without one.

it's been talked about before. - no cabin filter is correct.

From what I got from researching, the cabin filter was an option. However, you can buy the filter from Amazon. It should be the same size as you dad's corolla filter.

My 2007 sedan. Had no cabin filter in it.
Like most here. I installed one.

My 2010 Yaris LB didn't come with a cabin air filter either. I don't think any of the new Yaris's come with a cabin air filter. It should though!!!

Gogogordy · 07-14-2012, 12:29 AM

Where would I find it in my 2011 LB?

Yep! I have no filter in my '08 either.....I think i read somewhere where there were supposed to be in them from the factory key words "supposed to be"

grelise · 07-15-2012, 02:45 AM

They were an option from factory, if not optioned the filter wasn't fitted.

Same model, same situation.

why? · 07-15-2012, 08:43 PM

almost no Yaris had them from factory. The diy ones are easy and dirt cheap.

Exactly how would I get to the place where the filter can be installed?

there's the DIY I've been lookin for, i priced the cabin filter at wal-mart n they want like $12 ouch

I thought there was a TSB issue where improper venting would allow condensation to build up in the filter, causing a mold/mildew issue, leading Toyota to discontinue them at the factory. Not sure of the source on that one, but I thought I read it here somewhere...
