Cabin Air Filters

[Derek McAndrew]

Hi Guys

Was having the aircon recharged by my local garage - not Lexus - the other day and we got to talking about cabin air filters. The mechanic thought that my 1996 GS 300 should have one but didn't know where it was at.

Does anyone know if there is one, please, and if so is it easy for a duffer to replace!!??

Cheers :winky:

Is it in the same place as the IS,behind the glovebox.?

If not Colin Barber will be along in a minute,he knows everything :winky:

It is behind the glovebox on the series II not sure about the series I, I'll try and find out.

It seems there is a space for a filter but one was probably not installed. Have a look at this and see if its the same for your vehicle. The series II GS filter should fit.

Let us know what you find out.

Very many thanks, Colin, for your helpful reply.

I've removed the black plastic cover below the glove box and found the grey plastic bar about 7x1 inches long held with two neat little brass wing nuts. Taking these off and leavering out the bar revealed a fair bit of dust, and you were right no filter, but I can see where it should fit, so will order one ASAP. The site you directed me to quoted a part number 88880-30040 so will try that out with Lexus Norwich!!

Many thanks again.

How much are Toyota cabin filters ?

How much are Toyota cabin filters ?

If it's the active carbon one from the GS they are about £55. You need the plastic carrier but once you have that you can buy the replaceable part for about £23 from http://www.puravent.co.uk/ rather than spending £55 each time.

10% discount with Puravent as well (sorry if you've already included the discount Col...)

I bought a pollen filter for my IS thru puravent and it works a treat!
