NO TC EVER PRODUCED CAME WITH A CABIN AIR FILTER..........

let me display my first post...

I cant say for sure why the yaris doesn't have one but I can tell you that on the Tc they had them but they actually had a cooling problem with them in there, so Toyota opted to just take them out. No official word from Toyota that I've heard but this could be the same with our Yarii

So where did I ever say they were released with one? Should I have said they tested the car with them? would that have made you happy? Read again very closely. I in no way ever said they came off the assembly line that way, you are just twisting what I said.

I think that we are missing the point here...
The point is THE LACK OF THE FILTER!

I don't care why or when or how! It is missing!

I have got an official answer from Toyota Europe that the car is shiped without a filter... There is no excuse about that! Only cost reduction and at the same time potencial health risk for the passengers!

When I asked them: Is my health affected by the lack of cabin filter?
They answered: Toyota has now evidence about that...

No prob, cough, cough, wheeez, spit.

I know the first gen XBs didnt have an ac filter as well. I had to custom make my own since the factory one was a ripoff. If I recall, echos also lacked an air filter. not sure if XAs came with one.

Does all this filter crap even matter if I don't run the climate control? I do use it during the winter but it's not like there's a lot pollen running around then.

If you like to cut down on dust, pollen, and everything else in particle form being sucked in the cabin you might appreciate it. If you don't have a need/desire to keep this stuff out of the car then the filter will mean nothing to you.

i used to work for a honda dealership and yet they have cabin air filters .. my ex g/f's 2004 honda civic VP .. lowest of the lowest of civics.. like a civic dx. has a cabin air filter. So ours should have one as well

caveatipse · 08-25-2007, 07:58 PM

Would my US Yaris with Convenience Package come with an A/C filter installed?

BailOut · 08-25-2007, 08:55 PM

Probably not, but It only takes 10 seconds to take out the glove box, pinch the 2 little points and remove the cover of the filter spot to check. That's your best bet.

barebonedvitz · 08-25-2007, 09:01 PM

yup!

if it didn't come with a filter, like mine, just go get one @ the dealer.

caveatipse · 08-26-2007, 04:30 PM

Ok I checked it and it does not have a filter. Ripoff! I am going to order one online and install it. Seems silly to me that they could not spring for a cheap piece of paper.

slvryaris · 08-26-2007, 06:53 PM

Look in the manual, but I think it says that it needs one for the AC to run properly. I was skimming through it and I thnk thatas what it said. Mine did not have one in it so I went to Advance Auto Parts and bought one. There is a part number on here for a Purolator Filter but it doenst fit correctly without cutting some.

I bought the Purolator #C38188 cabin A/C filter from Advance Auto Parts and it fits right out of the box with absolutely no need to trim it!

slvryaris · 08-26-2007, 07:41 PM

hmmm....I forget the one that was posted on here but it was from a while back so I will have to go get one now. The other one is all scrunched up but still works. Thanks for the info Kimona.

She says "No l/b or sedan is all they make & i want a Lifback " he says only the dealers have it .. i know for a fact that there is a cross ref# in his catalog . but seeing how i could not strangle him over the phone from work , i;ll have to go mono on mono on him tomorrow before i go to work

I used the Bosch because I think Bosch products are better quality. I paid $15 at Autozone, they crossed that Purolator # without an issue. Good luck
