Did your Yaris come with a Cabin Filter? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Wita09 · 03-21-2010, 05:13 PM

I was going to replace my cabin air filter today and when i open the slot to get the size of the filter (going to make one) to my surprised it doesn't have any filter inside, I've read from this forum some member also have the same experience?

Did you searched the threads first?
I think some or all don't come with it, I know my sedan doesn't have it

Many Yarii came without that. You can buy the Toyota one, or for a few dollars you can make several from a furnace air filter. There is a DIY, I'll try to find it.

Same here, I just realized that mine came with out one. I'm actually looking into making a couple from an old furnace air filter, the problem is its old so I may have to buy a newer one that will work better, does Toyota sell these furnace filters for a reasonable price?

The US Yaris is not suppose to come with one.

(I think there are two threads going on this, maybe a Mod can merge them?)

nemelek · 03-21-2010, 06:14 PM

I have made my own (bailouts thread) and glad that I did. Change them every 5,000 miles and suprised at how dirty they become.

Wita09 · 03-21-2010, 06:23 PM

Thanks for the infos and links, went to Lowes today and bought a small filter for $4 and i was able make 2 filters out of them

PS: Garm, do you already have the vent shades I ordered? Thanks a lot.

FSANE · 07-25-2010, 09:07 PM

Apparently mine did not.

Anyone else? or did Toyota got cheap over a $12 filter.

Stove · 07-25-2010, 09:16 PM

I don't believe any of the US market cars came with one installed.

fluke_boy · 07-25-2010, 10:42 PM

Made my own using a charcoal filter with a washable green filter.

enviri · 07-25-2010, 11:39 PM

mine was installed when i got it O.o

custom Lftback · 07-25-2010, 11:53 PM

mine wasn't installed. unfortunately i didn't figure that out till sometime later, so i ordered some online

cali yaris · 07-26-2010, 03:57 AM

Most come without it. There is a DIY to cut up a furnace filter (makes several replacements) for super cheap.

jambo101 · 07-26-2010, 06:46 AM

After 45 years of driving cars with no cabin air filter and since i drive with windows down most of the time this cabin airfilter is just a money making gimmick for the dealer or auto parts companies. I drive without one.

OK, that is definately an opinion based on your perceptions.

However most do find a cabin filter very worthwhile.

If your air is so clean perhaps you are also wasting money on engine air filters and they are a scam?

Not saying the air is clean but that air filter isnt doing anything to make the air in the car cleaner if i'm driving with widows open.
