New car department quoted me $150 for Cabin pollen and dust filter (3rd gen. CRV). I opted one. Can this filter be cleaned ? if so how often? how often do you need to replace it?
Thanks

It is $80 from the dealer spare parts department. Replace when it is black.

It should be a simple DIY job to install it, right? if so, I shouldn't have spend $150 + 3% stamp duty on it. I should just pick one up from spare parts department for $80, and just stick the damn thing in meself.

Can you fit one in Euro too? or Euro doesn;t have this design?

[aaronng]

DIY. It goes behind your glovebox. Euro has one too.

Would there be one on a 1990 (cb) accord?, behind the glove box too?

Check and find out.

Drop the glovebox (2 latches on each side of the glovebox which you push in. Then the glove box opens past the usual maximum opening). Take the cabin filter tray out. The models with it optional will have an empty tray.

HI PNR888

It is a simple job, so long as you remember to check that about six plastic panels in the base of the tray have been removed. If still in place, the bit of plastic used to remove each one, lifts the element, which then impedes the travel of the air-direction flap. If still there, simply break them out, until you've got a lattice of thin plastic strips. Then just bung the element into the tray, slide it back into its hole, and re-fit the glovebox lid. The Honda 2009 Civic owner's manual shows how to CHANGE the element, but not how to INITIALLY FIT one.





Hope the above helps.

$150?????? man.. that is a rip off man.. i offer to chage them for you twice base on $150 for meterial and labour if you in sydney. and i use the honda original cabin filter (active carbon version not the standard version). :P
nothing is cheap for honda accessories in australia... perhaps nothing is cheap here this days.

i have a few laying around which are brand new. I'd let them go for $40 each
