Air Conditioner Filter

[brodical]

Check the ashtray for earrings salt ...lol

[salt36]

Yeah I already did, funny advert that one

I suspect it is the GPS wire, the only one I have not secured properly, it is just coiled behind the double din unit....

Filter arrived today.
Air flow arrow is embossed in the plastic. Mine was upside down compared to the rest of the writing on it. Go figure!



EDIT - just finished the install. Dont think you could get it up the wrong way, as there are 2 holes at one end and 1 at the other. The one with the 2 holes slots into the locator 'pin' to ensure you can only put it in one way.

Had a look on eBay and l cant find anybody selling those filters now, any other sources for them that are at a reasonable price??

[macca002]

I did a search on eBay and there are still plenty available from different sellers.

Here is where I got mine from:
http://stores.ebay.com.au/coolcarspareparts/

The filter is for an outlander from memory, but will fit in a Triton.

Hey thanks macca002, I did find that earlier, its actually the whole kit that lam looking for and not just the filter, like what is shown in other pics, tried the old eBay link for them but item not for sale anymore.

Air con filter - kit?

To install the filter, the only extra bits you need are 2 screws and a Stanley knife.

No, the tabs look different.
Maybe send the ebay seller who does them a PM to see when they are in stock next?

Yeh if the tabs were on opposite edges it would look the same as the original.

Will keep looking, thanks guys.

good stuff mate

Just a quick question, I took my glove box out but noticed there was a black backing plate with about 4 screws behind the glove box. Do you need to remove this to get to aircon unit.

Any why doesn't mitsubishi fit the filter when the car is new??

[FRDESP]

Yes You have to remove the plate behind the glove box.

Sooo what have ppls results been like, worth the time ?

Mojo....

[GLRkenny]

I am going to do it one day, I change them in so many cars at work And they come out filthy, definitely worth the time IMHO

[v8slrtorana]

I just looked on evilbay and i didn't see any listed
Or did i miss something ?
Ive decided after this weekend just gone, I need 1.

[Cowboy Dave]

There's usually a few. Try searches on other Mitsubishi vehicles and it may show up. Also there's a Ryco part number earlier in this thread so an eBay search on that might turn it up.

[macca002]

You want the one for the challenger.

I did it because I often drive dusty roads with a few other vehicles and i want to try keep all that dust from sticking everything through the system, and the other big reason is I suffer pretty bad hay fever during spring & summer, the filter may stop me having to the air con on recirculate 24/7 during those months.

[v8slrtorana]

Couldn't find any on eBay Aus.
Not interested in waiting till end of next month for 1 to arrive from the UK.
I searched in every way, every part number i seen in this thread.
Went to SuperCheap, non stock item.
Went to Repco, paid $53 for a Ryco, will put it in tonight
