Cabin Air Filters

[Argento]

Has anyone used a Lexus "Enhanced cabin air filter" ?

If so, what differences have you noticed.

Apparently, we have the choice of a "Standard cabin air filter" and an "Enhanced cabin air filter".

Also, can these be easily inspected and replaced if necessary by the user (IS 250 F-Sport MY2011)?

Piece of cake to check out.

Make sure you set the system to 'recirculate' first. Open the glove box and remove the little shelf. Slide up and out the oblong cover, about 300mm x 50mm. Then you'll see the tray that holds the filter. Lift up slightly and remove. Take out old filter and slide in new one. Then all the previous in reverse. Peazy! You'll get a little 'click' when you relocate the tray in place and press it down.

Got mine for £6.... Why give Lexus £38 for the same thing.

Working a treat....no idea what the enhanced one is. Who needs it really?

Is there another filter that could do with changing since I plan on changing the one in the glove box? Or is that the only one?

That's the only one for the air conditioning.

I see, thanks IHgs300 :)

Where do you get them for £6.00 Normski2? Do they do the full Lexus model range?

[normski2]

It was on offer from Euro Car Parts....got a set of flat aero wiper blades for £9 too!!

You just have to keep an eye on their site. Join up for emails and you get discount codes from time to time...sometimes they're 50% off!!!.

There's me thinking I've lost my mind as the only ones I saw were above £12.99!

[normski2]

normski2, thanks very much for this. Excellent.

Sorry to you and the others for the delay in responding.

I'll definitely have a go at doing it myself.

<Got mine for £6.... >

Are you able to say where you got this from?

normski2, apologies for my question.

I've just seen your <It was on offer from Euro Car Parts.... >

:-(

[Argento]

normski2, I went for the Wix one.

Thanks for the suggestions.

It has arrived and looks ok.

I was a bit deflated though.

The leaflet inside showed you how to fit it to a Yaris!

normski2, help please.

Not as intuitive as I expected.

I can see how people can break the cover.

<Slide up and out the oblong cover, ... >

I can't see how that would work.

How does it "Slide up"?

Could you give me more details please?

Thanks, Argento

[normski2]

Looks a bit like a 'black ruler'.

Finger nails under the bottom edge....slide it upwards a few mm (about 6 or 8 from memory) and out she comes.

Once you've done it once its peazy!!

[Argento]

normski2, thanks a lot.

That seems easy. ... ....

I'll try again tomorrow :-)

Argento

[Argento]

normski2, I've done it.

Great.

Thanks for your help and support.

The old filter was quite dirty after only 8k

Argento

[normski2]

Ah well done!

Once you've done it, its peazy.

Just remember to set it to RECIRCULATE before you try extracting.

[Argento]

Yes, will do. Thanks.

A Lexus Technician told me recently that breaking that filter tray trying to get it out could end up giving you a bill for £1200!

It's attached to some other part of the HVAC, apparently.
