Toyota Rav 4 cabin filter: where is it located, replacement


In fact, filters perform different tasks, and for good reason, the article should have been divided into two, but since the amount of information is not so large, and the amount of work performed is not so large, we decided not to “spread” everything into topics, but yet combine everything in one material. Moreover, every 3 maintenance is carried out with the simultaneous replacement of these two filters. So, for the cabin air filter, replacement is carried out every 10,000 km, and for the engine filter, every 30,000 km, throughout the entire operation of the car.

Replacing the cabin air filter of Toyota RAV4 from 2013

First of all, even before you start replacing the filter, you will have to decide on the replacement, that is, which filter element will replace the existing one. Many people prefer to use originals, while others do not complain about analogues.

We will not recommend one or the other here, as this is the choice of each of us. Let’s just say that the original cabin air filter for Toyota RAV4 from 2013 is Toyota 87139-52040, and it doesn’t matter what engine you have, 2.0 (gasoline) or 2.

2, 2.5 (diesel).

There are also plenty of filter analogues: Avantech CF0107, Bosch 1 987 432 190, Gufu Parts HCF-21102..., or carbon filter analogues Gufu Parts HCF-51102, JS Asakashi AC108C, Sakura CAC-1114, Vic AC-108EX... As we have already said, decide for yourself.

The original filter will look like this. Now about the replacement procedure itself. The cabin air filter is installed behind the cabin glove box. To do this, you need to lower the box itself down.

We take everything out of the glove box and disconnect the rod - the shock absorber, it is located on the right.

After this, you can recess the latches on the glove box body and lower the glove box down. The latches are retracted inside the glove box due to the flexibility of the plastic walls.

Next, remove the latch on the cover of the ventilation system casing and remove the door. Behind it will be the filter element itself. Now all that remains is to pull it out and install a new one.

When replacing, install the new element according to the air flow.

The flow marking is on the filter, and then goes from below, from under the feet, and towards the instrument panel. We put the lid back, then lift the glove box and fasten the rod. At this point, the process of replacing the cabin air filter for Toyota RAV4 from 2013 can be considered complete.

Replacing the air filter of a Toyota RAV4 engine from 2013

The engine air filter on a car is changed every 30,000 km. However, from time to time we recommend that you still open the filter housing and shake out sand, leaves, and other debris from it between maintenance when it is replaced. The machine can be equipped with a filter 17801-21050 (Japanese market) or 17801-0T020 ( Asian market) or 17801-0D060 (European market).

It is better to clarify which air filter you need, you need to provide the VIN number to the store, or look into the air filter housing to read the markings on it yourself. The algorithm for replacing it will be similar for all options. Initially, you need to pull aside the two fasteners holding the top cover of the filter element.

The picture shows these fasteners 1 and 2

The cover can then be lifted, step 3, upwards. We take the filter out of its place (the photo shows a different filter model, but the essence is the same).

  • This is what a worn filter will look like.
  • All that remains is to put a new filter in its place, while observing the alignment, and assemble everything in the reverse order.

Replacing the cabin filter Toyota Rav 4

Hi all! It's time to have your car serviced! Today we will tell you how to replace the Toyota Rav 4 cabin filter .

In general, the procedure is very, very simple, so I’m unlikely to open America for “experienced” car owners.

But this manual is intended primarily for beginners, so it will be useful for them to first read our article before going to the garage and making a replacement. So, let's go.

By the way, if you have not yet changed the oil in the Toyota RAV 4 automatic transmission, then you simply must read our article. In it you will find not only how to change the oil in a machine, but also how to save a lot on consumables and work.

Replacing the Toyota RAV 4 cabin filter according to regulations

If you adhere to the maintenance regulations, then the Toyota Rav 4 cabin filter should be replaced every 20 thousand kilometers. And after 10 thousand.

km of mileage, the cabin filter should be inspected and blown out with compressed air, if necessary.

But if you take into account the condition of the roads in Russia and the general dustiness, it won’t hurt to change the cabin filter a little earlier, for example after 15 thousand km.

For replacement, official dealers use only original filter elements. In my opinion, such filters are unreasonably expensive.

For example, in our case, an original cabin filter with article number 87139-07020 on Exist costs from 1328.00 rubles (this is with a delivery time of 32 days and a price level of Wholesale 5 (the maximum possible discount on Exist). If we take a period of 4 days, then the price of the filter immediately increases to 2570.00 rubles.


Namely, this is the filter that officials install when undergoing maintenance. Of course, it's not worth that kind of money. Especially if takes start at 115 rubles apiece:


And this is the Nevsky filter, which is considered to be of quite high quality. In fact, for the cost of the original filter of 2570 rubles, you can buy 22 takes (115 rubles x 22 = 2530 rubles). Considering that the Toyota Rav 4 cabin filter is replaced after 20 thousand kilometers, then these 22 filters can be changed every thousand kilometers and 2 more filters will remain in stock! This is the arithmetic. Okay, I’ve kind of moved away from our topic... So, let’s go back.

Replacing the cabin filter Toyota Rav 4 - step-by-step instructions

1. The filter element is located behind the glove box. To get to it, you need to remove the glove compartment. To do this, first remove everything unnecessary from the glove compartment and get to work. The entire replacement takes a maximum of 10 minutes and requires absolutely no tools. 2. Push the side clamps of the glove compartment inward, as shown in the photo below.


3. Disconnect the smooth ride lock eye and remove the entire glove box. 4. Behind it we see a plastic cabin filter cover. Press the latch:


... and take out this cover. Behind it is the cabin filter. Let's take it out. Try to do this carefully, as a large amount of dust and other debris accumulates on the top of the filter.


5. If possible, remove all debris from the cabin filter niche and install a new cabin filter in place. 6. Installation is the most important step in replacing the Toyota Rav 4 cabin filter, as it requires installing the filter in the correct position. This is done as follows. Each filter has an arrow that indicates either the direction of air flow (AIR FLOW) or the top of the filter (UP). If next to the arrow there is the inscription “AIR FLOW”, then the filter is placed with the arrow down, and if there is the inscription “UP”, then the filter is placed with the arrow up. 7. Put everything back together in reverse order and enjoy the cleanliness of the air entering the cabin! That's all! We also recommend watching a video in which everything is explained and shown in detail.

A couple of words about TSN, as shown in the photo here, a carbon one. I installed an IX-35 on my last car, after a couple of thousand kilometers it got clogged so that it was twisted in its socket, after these filters the stove motor began to make noise, a nasty whistle that was cured only by replacing the motor itself. I don’t recommend carbon ones to anyone filter from this manufacturer.

Thanks for the information, I'll keep an eye on him!

TSN is a terrible filter. It has no advantages other than price. It's as thick as a piece of paper; you might as well not put anything on it at all.

TSN have completely deteriorated, the filters have become disgusting. For the money, Nevsky Filter is better.

Not just spoiled, but extremely rare!

TSN have completely deteriorated, the filters have become disgusting. For the money, Nevsky Filter is better.

So far I haven’t felt any difference with the original, next time I’ll try Nevsky)

And you look at the paper and you will understand everything

TSN have completely deteriorated, the filters have become disgusting. For the money, Nevsky Filter is better.

Your Nevsky is complete shit, it has deteriorated even worse than TSN. Such a crotch filter arrived, all crooked, glued and re-glued, they said so what, it will work, what difference does it make to you what it looks like. no, I categorically do not recommend such crap

Maybe it was damaged during delivery? I received a normal Nevsky, better than TSN (TSN was good while it was produced in cardboard boxes). In the end, I decided to switch to MANN anyway.

I’m also planning to put on “mann”, how’s the quality?

So far the best I've played.

Ok, thanks, I'll put it at 4 now :)

The last time TSN disappointed me with its quality, although I have installed them on other cars before.

I installed the same one. I didn’t feel the difference between coal and plain.

I don’t feel the difference either, but I noticed it more from having nothing to do than from necessity) the old one also still worked normally, so maybe I don’t feel anything!

I also change them in spring and autumn, twice a year, regardless of mileage and degree of contamination.

Replacing the cabin filter in Toyota Rav 4

:

When it comes to installing additional equipment for the interior, many people think of covers, armrests and other accessories. Don't forget about such an important detail as the car's cabin filter. Many car owners underestimate its importance. Replacing the Rav-4 cabin filter is a mandatory procedure for every car of this model.

The environmental situation (especially in large cities) leaves much to be desired. The maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of harmful substances in the air exceeds the norm several times. The most dangerous substances include:

  • oxides of nitrogen, sulfur, carbon;
  • aldehydes;
  • soot, heavy metal compounds;
  • asbestos, tire dust, pieces of old rubber.

All this, without a filter, ends up in the car interior. This is especially felt when you are stuck in a traffic jam in front of another car for several hours. All the exhaust goes inside, and the driver and passengers breathe it.

In the long term, neglecting to install a filter can lead to the development of allergies (or their worsening), as well as lung problems. For these reasons, it is naturally recommended to change the Rav 4 cabin filter in a timely manner.

This relatively inexpensive element is capable of stopping up to 99.5 percent of small particles, and the most modern products can even absorb unpleasant odors.

Replacement frequency

Many drivers do not know when to change the filter. This is a fairly common question, the answer to which you will find in the manual for your SUV. The manufacturer offers a clear mileage number after which replacement must be made. Many experienced motorists recommend replacing them every 20-30 thousand kilometers.

It is better not to rely on conventional numbers, but to conduct a visual inspection yourself. This will make it possible to verify whether it is necessary to replace the cabin filter in the Toyota Rav-4.

A new or slightly worn part has a lighter color. The old filter will be dark, covered in dust, and filled with various debris.

There are also a number of indirect signs that indicate that the cabin filter needs to be inspected. This includes:

  • the appearance of an unpleasant odor in the cabin;
  • increased glass fogging;
  • The air flow is too weak when the fan is turned on.

All this may indicate that the filter has used up its resource.

Selecting a new filter

The car owner has two choices: order an original model or a compatible one from another manufacturer. As the experience of car owners of this SUV shows, there is no fundamental difference in products if both options are of high quality. The filter is a fairly simple product, so you shouldn’t get too hung up on choosing a brand, since all products of the same type have relatively the same resource.

The market offers two main types of cabin filters: dust and carbon. The first models are the most accessible and cheap. In such products, synthetic or cellulose fibers act as a filter element.

They are presented in the form of several layers of corrugated paper, while neatly folded into a rectangular structure. Dust filters do an excellent job of removing soot, dust, small and large particles of sand, and small insects.

They can even stop plant pollen.

Carbon filters are more advanced. In their design, they have a layer of activated carbon, so it becomes possible to retain oxides, benzene and phenolic elements. The service life of the activated carbon layer is limited. As a result, when it cannot absorb harmful substances, such a filter turns into a regular dust filter.

Replacing the cabin filter in Toyota Rav 4: features of the procedure

First you need to find out where the Toyota Rav-4 cabin filter is located. It is located in a special slot behind the glove compartment in the cabin. This way, you don't need a special tool to change it. The entire procedure is completed in just a few minutes. To do this you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the glove compartment and then remove all items from it.
  2. There is a limiter on the bottom right side. Unfasten it.
  3. The glove compartment is secured on the sides with special clips. You need to press on the sides of the glove compartment to pull it out.
  4. You will see a filter container. On the right side, unfasten the latch and open the protective cover.

  5. Remove the old filter and then install the new one. Please note that the arrows on the wall of the product should point upward.
  6. Close the lid.
  7. Reinstall the glove compartment.

Now you know that replacing the cabin filter is not difficult. This knowledge will allow you to carry out this procedure yourself, without spending money on car service services. Never neglect the quality of the cabin filter, since in many ways it is this simple detail that takes care of your health.
