MK4 Hybrid battery vents (photos)

Hi all,

Looking for videos for Battery vent filter cleaning, only found for MK3 and MK5, and there are actually filters.  Took apart the vents from my MK4 yesterday and only found a mesh. Should it have a filter there?  Both sides are the same.

There isn't any filter on the 4th gen, just a mesh thingy like in your pictures. I also didn't find it particularly dusty when I did mine so not sure how often cleaning is needed. By the way, hybrids are only available from gen 4 onwards ie. gen 4 and 5 only.

Thanks Will,

Yes, you are right, don't know how I confused the hybrid generations. I am sure I saw two types of filters, maybe saw a video of other model, not a RAV4.

Mine was not dirty as well.
