Replacing the cabin filter Toyota Prado -

The cabin filter on Toyota Prado performs the function of cleaning the air inside the car for the air conditioning system. The quality of airflow and the health of the driver and passengers depend on the timely maintenance of the cleaning element. Harmful substances settling at the bottom of the paper filter contribute to the occurrence and development of diseases and allergies. Cough and fever are the first signs of the disease.

Given the simplicity of the design, you can change the cabin filter on a Toyota Prado yourself. Service centers are contacted in extreme cases, when the installation technology is broken and there is no time to carry out preventive maintenance.

Where is the cabin filter located: the purifier is mounted differently in different models. Since the presentation (debut) of the first generation to the present, four generations of Toyota Prado have been released:

  • Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 70 – 1984;
  • Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 90 - 1996;
  • Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 - 2002;
  • Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 - 2009.

In the first two series of cars, the standard filter is located in the engine compartment, in the upper right part, closer to the main brake cylinder. In the third and fourth generations, the wiper is installed behind the glove box in the dashboard.

How often should I replace?

The manufacturer in the vehicle operating instructions indicates a replacement interval of 30,000 km. In this case, the element must be cleaned every 10,000 km. Preventive actions mean blowing compressed air onto the hygroscopic filler. If the car is used in conditions of increased dustiness, pollution, and gas pollution, then reduce the service life of the cleaner by a third.

The cabin filter must be replaced immediately if water, antifreeze, or other petroleum products get on the paper. Even after drying, toxic fumes remain and are inhaled by the driver along with oxygen. Which is undesirable, as it causes a number of allergic reactions and diseases.

Signs of clogged paper filler:

  • There is weak airflow from the deflectors / no airflow at all;
  • There is a smell of rot and decay in the cabin;
  • Particles of debris, leaves, and dust fly out of the deflectors, which should be retained by the filter.

Choosing a cabin filter for Toyota Prado

When purchasing consumables yourself, pay special attention to the catalog indexes; the data must match the actual parts on your car. To ensure reliable information, use the VIN code - this is the individual number of each technical device. It is assigned to the car after it leaves the assembly line. By providing the code, the seller is guaranteed to provide the required item.

Make it a rule to purchase components from official dealers and specialized stores. Use the services of intermediaries to a lesser extent, do not buy parts of dubious origin at an incredibly low price.

Replacing the cabin filter on a Toyota Prado

If there are foreign odors inside your Land Cruiser while driving - exhaust gases, rubber and dust, with a 100% probability you have not installed a carbon filter, but a cheap one, or its expiration date has long expired. If there are no foreign odors in the car, the Land Cruiser is equipped with a high-quality carbon filter.

The road and the car are a source of concentration of carcinogenic substances, and this all directly affects the health of drivers and passengers directly. For example, microparticles of rubber residue from car tires are removed from the lungs for many years. Below we describe in detail which filter is recommended to choose for your car and how to replace it in a Land Cruiser.

When is it necessary to replace the filter in a Toyota Prado?

A specialized Land Cruiser center recommends replacement at around 10-12 months of active driving. However, in most cases this period is insufficient for the following number of reasons:

  • a car in our latitudes is operated in a more aggressive environment - dust and exhaust gases;
  • in winter, a car with sand pours tens of tons of sand mixture onto the road, it is this dust that gets into the air, and drivers breathe this air;
  • An urban environment requires more frequent replacement of the cabin filter element, since in an urban environment it wears out the most.

Summarizing the above reasons, the best time to replace the filter in a Land Cruiser is 6-8 months; if you use the car mainly for country trips, the preferred replacement of the cabin filter in a car will be about 120 Prado - up to 1 year.

Differences in types of cabin filters

We come to the most important question, which filter to install in a car - carbon, synthetic or some other? Let's divide all cabin filter elements produced for the Land Cruiser into two categories:

Anti-dust:

  • made on the basis of paper or cardboard (the cheapest option);
  • made of non-woven materials (synthetics) impregnated with chlorine or coal solution (you cannot say that it is coal).

Let’s note right away the first method and option for installing the device in a car – the cheapest. In addition, paper (cardboard) is not durable; such a filter on a Land Cruiser will last for a maximum of 2 months (or until the first rains) - after that its effect will be practically useless (the same effect as installing a simple paper towel). Moreover, it will even be harmful - since the humid environment in the filter membranes is an ideal environment for the spread of pathogenic bacteria.

Payment via WebMoney

After selecting payment via WebMoney, the payment system will launch, where you need to select the payment method: bank card or WebMoney wallet.

If you already have a WebMoney wallet, then you need to log into it and make a payment.

If you do not have a WebMoney wallet and you want to pay in another way, you need to select any of the methods that WebMoney offers and make the payment

After specifying payment details and confirming payment, payment for the goods will occur.

Purpose of the device

The cabin filter performs an important function. It is installed to protect the health of the driver and passengers. The mechanism cleans the air entering the car from exhaust gases, dust, and bacteria harmful to the body. Removes all extraneous unpleasant odors.

Without an air purifier in the cabin, a person may develop or worsen allergies and develop lung problems. It is necessary for people with weak immunity, allergic reactions, young children and the elderly.

The filter in the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 traps all particles, preventing them from entering the car. They get stuck in this mechanism, creating a favorable environment for the development of bacteria, negatively affecting the well-being of passengers. In this case, the cleaner must be replaced with a new one.

You can understand that it is time to remove the device by the following signs:

  • the windows fog up from inside the car;
  • unpleasant odors appear;
  • the air conditioner operates at lower power;
  • During ventilation, dust appears in the body.

In the Prado 120, the cleaning mechanism clogs faster in urban environments than outside of big cities. Contamination also appears if you often drive on dirt or roads with a sandy embankment.

Replacing the cabin filter of the Prado 120 series should occur every 10–15 thousand km traveled, but the operating conditions of the SUV are important.
