Once again, thanks. I have a 2004 Prius but wasn’t sure if it was the
same procedure to change the filter on the 2013. It still is relatively
the same. BTW.. That shock absorber thingy can be a pain if it falls off
at the top. At least on the 2004 it was.
I believe its CAF146P Cabin Air Filter. If you aren’t sure, you can always
google it online, but usually when you go to an auto store, they’ll ask you
what you need and just tell them what you need and they can look up the
parts for your vehicle. I hope that helps.
Can you also tell us what type of cabin filter it is? like a model no. or
something?
it is, newer cars are tighter to pry off lol
Made it look easy.. and it IS easy on my Civic. But damn, that glove box is
rigid as hell on my 2012 Prius C.
no problem! the Cabin air filter is more expensive than the engine air
filter. Its best to do this yourself since they over charge on labor when
these maintenance takes only minutes to replace. Glad we could help you
save some money.
My new Prius V came with several free services (oil change, tire rotation,
state inspections), so when I was there today I asked about future costs,
and the cost to replace the cabin air filter was like $40, and the cost to
change the other air filter was about $50 (I might have that backwards, but
you get the picture). Ridiculous! Thanks for this video (and the other one
on changing the one under the hood). You just saved me a bunch of money. 🙂
thanks for watching the video heh.
Thank you for sharing the video.
No problem! let me know what else you would like to see from the prius if
you run into problems. Thanks. 🙂
I lllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeee u for
saving me money!!!!! I bought my filters at Amazon.com for really cheap.
Now, I am gonna check out your other video on how to change oil on a Prius
and save myself another $180 at the Toyota Dealership!!!!! Muah!!! Alice
The dealer changed mine and didn’t latch the cover properly, so it fell
down and prevented the box from closing. Decided to take a crack at
replacing it after seeing your video. I had a b**** of a time getting my
glovebox to drop down. I could get the left but to do the right, I had to
use the flat side of a crescent wrench as a prying tool to get the tab in
enough to let the right side down. Just wanted to make a note of it for
anyone else who tries it. Thanks for the post!
no problem! 🙂 thanks for watching!
No problem! Glad you didn’t run into any problems 🙂
Thanks for the very good learning, were friendly, you can learn how to
replace brake and brake discs? Thank you very much
ANYTIME! 🙂
Thank you for the demo!
Thanks for uploading this video! This is great, and looks so easy to do and
not have to pay a dealer $50 to do a $15 job.
On the 2010’s, the glove box is pretty easy to get out. Thank you for this
video, now I can change that filter no problem!
I am looking to purchase a 2010 Toyota Prius, and it has 88K+ miles. What
are important things (maintenance-wise) to look for to make sure that I get
a good deal, and that I keep it in good shape?
np! glad it helped you, instead of paying an extra $40+ for them to change
it.
Replace/repair the box since they damaged it. I hope this video helped you
in replacing your own cabin air filter.
T hanks for your comment, but I have changed brake discs and BAdd all
alone, It took a lot of time 1day almost,, hahahaah, but any council that
would show errors in the vehicle’s computer was not there,,, maybe I was
lucky,,, :). I live in Sweden / Stockholm and this is very expensive to
leave the car at an authorized workshop, so I want to fix some light stuff
myself, In any case, thanks for the great video that you have put in
youtube,,,
Yeah, the cabin air filter is cheap. I don’t know why the dealer charge you
an arm and a leg just to replace this easy to do replacement.
very nice!
Genius.
no problem! as for replacing the brakes on the Prius, I would recommend
taking it to the dealer because you need the tech stream laptop from Toyota
for them to do your brakes. They need to program the vehicle so that it’ll
allow them to work on your brake system. Hybrids are tricky since they’re
not conventional vehicles. 🙂
@12053mike Wow that’s weird how the dealer damaged your box. You should’ve
asked for them to
check to see if all of the maintenance is up to date such as; oil change,
engine air filter replaced, cabin air filter replaced, front brakes and
rear brakes if its been serviced, transmission replaced, brake flushed,
spark plugs due at 120k with iridium spark plugs, check for tire wears,
make sure its not less than 2/32 inch in threads. check the car fax for any
wreckage or accidents. Make sure everything inside is intact. I hope this
helps. Like our Facebook page for more questions. GOOD LUCK!
Big help. Thanks!
