crosssport,

Good info there.

Now, we have an alternative to the original.

Thanks for sharing.

I came across this thread whilst trying to figure out where the smell was coming from when i turned on my AC so I went to take a look at the pollen filter and found bars across mine .... anybody have any idea what the hell they are



Its a 2006 Vigo ... Do you have heaters on yours ?

[Steve9R]

wow ... no idea what they are ??? we definately dont have them.. they do lok like some sort of heater or cooling coil.. but i dont know.. are they hot or cold when you're driving ? AC / Heater etc ?

[whitey]

I checked after the engine was off for a while and they were hot. Anyone else here have a Vigo with a heater ??? I'm confused now.

Hi All,
Did a search couldn't find anything about replacing the cabin air filter. Have been told to remove glovebox unless i'm blind can't find it. Anyone help current Hilux 2005?

[Hilux Max]

REMOVE GLOVEBOX, BEHIND GLOVEBOX IS A RECTANGULAR COVER ELONGATED HORIZONTALLY WITH CLIP ON ONE SIDE, UNLCIP IT AND SWING IT OUT.

THEN PULL THE A.C FILTER OUT. 10 SECOND JOB.

USE A TORCH, MAY BE HARD TO SEE WITH EVERYTHING BEING DARK AND BLACK BEHIND THERE.

Sox,

Try this thread mate, it was discussed a while ago.. http://www.newhilux.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=907&hilit=pollen+filter
Should have pics showing the cover/location etc.
I think the early models didnt have the removable cover but it was adaptable , you could cut out the filter slot
and purchase the cover from your local stealer Cleaned mine out the other day, sooo much leaves & dirt n sht
built up in there!

Cheers,
Craig

Sox, been an 05 it will not have the "hole" punched out not the cover. From a wreckers get cover then a filter from toyota or repco.
I did it to my ute a May 06 built

It's your avatar mate. Have a look at the top left corner of the page. Click on 'User Control Panel' then click on the 'Profile' tab. Now click on 'Edit Avatar'. You can insert your picture there but it must be at or under the maximum size and dimensions.

your right no clip on earlier models to do this quicly. do i follow the rectagle line on face and cut out with stanley knife? whats the best way to break into?
also i have a question since you have an 05. is the fog light switch on indicator stalk? i dont have a fog switch on my 05 sr5.
thanks

Hey Crossport, while the Ryco Cabin Filter part RCA164P filter element will fit in the slot, the Aus/NZ Ryco website gives the replacement part as model RCA178P, which has the wider filter folds same as the original. http://www.ryco.co.nz/Default.aspx
