Cabin filter (its complete absence) - Toyota Altezza, 2.0 L, 1999

For some reason, many never bother about him and ride breathing dust, which is at least dangerous ...

I decided to take a look at him because when I turn on the stove, dust starts blowing ...
Well, since the electricity in the office was turned off, I decided to light the day for the car, took a screwdriver from a colleague and went to see how to get to the filter.

The easiest way, as it turned out, was to remove the glove compartment. It is attached with two long plastic pins that can be easily pushed out with a screwdriver.

Further you can see the fan motor and the door above it, that's where we need it.

We remove the cover and see ...

that the filter was probably not from Japan itself ...
We look at the photo and draw conclusions why it needs to be changed in time ...

Cabin filter in person.

and a box from it, into which all the garbage will perfectly fit.

We clean everything where we can reach with a napkin, we are horrified once again by the fact that it is already 5th, but still all black from dirt, and we put the filter in its rightful place.

By the way, specifically, I do not have a cabin filter guide, so it costs a little crookedly, I will look for disassembly ...

A total of 400 rubles for the Korean Sakura filter and 15 minutes of time, but it no longer blows with dust and does not stink ...

Updated

I found an automatic Alteza on disassembly, I went to see if there was a frame.
There is a frame, and together with the filter, they refused to sell for less than 500 rubles (well, okay).
Here is the filter frame

By the way, the filter that was inserted into the frame was probably not changed from the factory, I had to throw it out ...

PS now everything stands like a nada and the filter is pressed to the top and does not lie like on the 6th photo.
