A very very easy DIY job. Managed to do it even with a screaming 2.5 year old strapped into his child seat. Seriously less then 2 minute job. Purchased mine from Bursons, using the Wesfil filter, fitted perfectly, cost was $20.60. Westfif WACF5231 is the correct part number. Another great tip. Thanks.

Cabin air con filters can be sonic cleaned and reused time and time again. I get my air cleaner sonic cleaned and tested and at the same time get the air con filter done. Costs me $10.00 for both.

yes I will have to get one of these as my car does not have one fitted. I suppose it doesnt matter if I put one in when there is not one there?

I noticed my 2005 V6 Prado didn't have a aircon filter, and was shocked at the Toyota price of $80.......
Using any aircon filter or fridge filter will do the job for much less than Toyota, Clark Rubber have aircon/fridge filter material

I used a piece of filter material I picked up from Clark Rubber - cost me a coupla bucks. Cut it to shape and made it double thickness. Does the trick as it gets dirty fairly regularly. And when I went to clean it I just vacuumed it and washed it out, then hung it on the line to get rid of any moisture. Beats having to buy a new one.

Normally a bit of moisture is a good thing, but not in this case...

Hey People,

Picked up a Wesfil cabin filter at Brisbane Air Cleaner Service yesterday for under $20.00 skins part no. WA5231 for 2003 v6. Recommend their service.

Thanks for the heads up - just discovered my 2005 120 series GXL doesn't have one at all! Off to Bunnings to find something suitable.

Ok so what is the difference between the diesel cabin filter and the petrol one ?? Also is there a difference if you have climate air or the old dial air like I have ?? Their all advertising for diesel, nothing about petrol, Surely there is no difference with the cabin filter ?? Cheers Steve

Just had my car serviced - 100,000k. Replaced cabin filter $24.00 (not sure if he uses genuine though)

[Crows1 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Crows1]

Just did my 90k service - replaced it with a new one, sourced locally by my (non-dealership) mechanic from Bursons I believe. Not sure how much as I have a few other things done as well, but I am sure that it was absolutely filthy - bugs, leaves, dust etc, unbelieveable. It is hard to believe that Toyota do not make these filters standard for all models. I kept the old one and will give it a wash and keep it as a spare. Just about to head north for a couple of months so no doubt will need to check it whilst I am away.
Cheers,
Stotty
