Techead 5 Posted Tuesday at 05:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:16 PM Just wondering if anyone recommends any filters other than the Genuine Toyota ones? If so, where can I get them from and how much? I see Toyota charge £45 (during a service) for the standard air filter, and £55 for enhanced (no idea what enhanced is) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flash22 655 Posted Tuesday at 05:27 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:27 PM The enhanced one is activated carbon Mahle. Bosch or Hengst all work well and are under £15 for the carbon one, The oem one is under £20 - frankly those prices are a rip off for what in essence is a 2-min job It's the same as the yaris, behind the glove box - plenty of vids on YouTube 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mooly 185 Posted Tuesday at 06:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:37 PM I've commented on this before and that was that I felt 'ripped off' when I accepted having a new pollen filter during a service. Considering the service schedule says 'inspect and replace if necessary' I thought it was sharp practice to charge 0.25 hours labour to remove and fit a new filter whereas removing and then refitting the same filter back again, which has to be done if it is inspected, is included in the service price.

TonyHSD 771 Posted Tuesday at 07:44 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:44 PM https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173521013506 This is what I use and change every 10k miles or 1 year, high quality filter and does the job very well, easy to change. , probably the most important filter in any car as it’s directly impact your health especially if you drive a lot and in dense populated places or busy motorways. Pictures below shows difference between new and 10k miles old, significant and the does smells like petrol fumes. Feel sorry for bike riders that does not use any sort of masks or anything. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
