Where is the aircon intake?
I've had a look around, read this whole thread and it seemed like the best place to ask (if not, correct direction pointing would be welcome!)
I've got a slightly smelly aircon and before I try installing a filter I wanted to spray some antibacterial stuff into the system (Toyota AU wanted $50 for this). It was an effort but I finally found the spray... now I don't know where to spray it. Can someone tell me exactly where the aircon intake is? Edit: just tried to put some product (turns out it's a foam, not aerosol) in the fan part under the side passenger glove box... well you can't spray a foam upwards so I didn't get any in the aircon. So now we're all out of ideas. Last edited by AngelMoo; 09-18-2011 at 12:51 AM. |

Just wanted to reply that I just did this and it's an excellent write-up. I have a hard time believing this filter would put more strain on the system than a factory one, especially a clogged factory one.
Thanks for the great idea. |

Mine came with a small piece of paper with some diagrams.
Showing where it is in the car and how to install it. Was easier than searching the owners manual or the service manuals that I downloaded. |

Smoking in the car almost have no effect on the cabin filter unless you run recirculate all the time. Even then, the smoke doesn't get that much from the passenger side. Also, the cabin filter is supposed to be changed every 10k miles or 1 year.

is the space above the filter opening always open.
It looks to me like it is sealed when the glove box is closed. there is a felt like padding on the back of the glovebox |
