You’re video is appreciated. My mechanic wanted to charge me $40 to do that simple install. Now I can do it myself.😊

i was looking for help on changing the cabin filter but i'm glad i came across this. will do it myself next time. thanks!

[@taterhead30]

+goaway the cabin air filter is just about as easy. It's behind the passenger side lower glove box.

[@Mysticist]

Thank you so much! Watched a different video and I couldn’t get it back in until I saw your video and you showed where to put the square corner. I knew that must be part of it but I just didn’t know how.

[@carquestions]

Anytime - Cheers!

[@meziggy8613]

Thanks for this video. My service station wanted to charge me $24.00 to replace air filter and after watching this video, I purchased a new filter on ebay for $7.00 and DID IT MYSELF and saved $17.00!!! GREAT JOB and THANK YOU!!! BTW: needless to say I won't be going to that service station again.

[@tashidolma6237]

Excellent! Thank you, I've never done any car maintenance myself and your tutorial gave me the confidence to dive in. You're are a great teacher! (good instructions and clear video to illustrate the process) exactly what I needed :-)

Well done - most maintenance can be done with a little coaching - its not rocket science as the car companies would have you believe.

[@taterhead30]

+carquestions ...and videos like yours really break things down, make it easy for the rest of us.

[@tardeliesmagic]

Invest in a small toll set and watch many videos to just the confidence and visual experience as i have done.I do all the servicing myself on my 2002 Yaris incl the ATF,PCV valve,MAF sensor and throttle body cleaning.I also did my front brake pads myself which was a great achievment i tell you.My car runs smooth as silk with no issues at 89.000 miles and never had any isses not broken down in the 10 yrs of ownership.I am sort of tempted to get a newer model Yaris like in the video but mine has been 100% reliable and spot on.

[@isaacgonzalez6142]

Thanks you for this Video it was very informative... i think what i liked most about it is that you went straight to the point. Thanks

[@surrealist7372]

[@ouiija3263]

Thanks for the great video. I noticed that the air intake horn (bottom of video at 1:14) is loose, but I didn't see a way to tighten it. It doesn't seem to want to fallout but I'm concerned. Any advice about what I can do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for sharing sir.

[@carquestions]

Its fine - the horn has a molded kind fit so it secures itself loosely

[@ouiija3263]

Aw, man thanks. That saves me a trip to have it checked out and some worries. I really appreciate it! Have a great summer!

I was wondering about the square corner orientation, this video answered my question. Any reason I shouldn't use compress air to clean the filter media rather than replacing the filter which are currently priced @$30.00 (incl tax). A replacement SPT brand, WIX, & Toyota made filter, all now have 4 rounded corners & the material is not much more than styrofoam for its "gasket". My old STP filter has a rubber gasket that perfectly fits the air filter housing which is why I'm going to use compressed air & blow it clean rather than replacing the air filter. Yes, I've "liked", subscribed, & rang the notification bell. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

[@carquestions]

No problem re-using it - I do it myself - Cheers from Canada!

If it has one I wouldn't bother changing it until the car is 8 years old or you are having a problem with the heater/defroster

[@Isah305]

Is it possible to change intake tubes to give more air to the filter-turbo ? I have 1.4D yaris 2009 [2006-2009] , and im planning to make a "project" of it. And i need info, because I think doing that it will shorten the path for the air, and because of that it will give more air quicker to the filter-turbine, and thats why you can get a few additional HP.

[@carquestions]

Waste of money and time - you'll never feel a difference - turbo, cam, exhaust, injectors are needed for any real world difference - the rest is marketing BS

The air filter I've bought looks like this but has a wool type rectangle screwed onto the bottom, do I remove that before fitting? I have changed the filter twice before and previous filters never had this attachment.
