Cabin filter Mann or OEM Toyota

This Mann cabin air filter is probably the best one I’ve ever used. I could be behind a diesel truck and smell nothing but clean air.

Go on amazon and look for a Mann Frecious Plus filter, its as good as it gets

I switched over to Mann biofilter and had positive results esp w/ smells.

I really love the new filter I got. Its more expensive than OEM though. The thing about the new filter is it has both carbon and a polyphenol coating. I noticed that when my engine shuts down during start/stop that the air con doesnt have a wet dog smell anymore.

The second replacement filter was a Mann activated charcoal filter which does seem to help keep the interior smelling even fresher.

What finally seemed to help was replacing the cabin air filter (did myself in 3/2017) with one of the MANN charcoal filters (FP26 009 "Frecious Plus"). Perhaps this was just coincidental, but we have not experienced the problem since changing the filter.

You can get the engine and cabin filters on Amazon and save yourself $150+ dollars. Look up Mann filters (which is the same thing VW uses) for you year.

Might be a silly question, but have you considered building it to have a Mann CU 2038 fit it? Have been running those in my \"stock\" cabin air filter since the original filter is NLA.

I checked to make sure the cabin filter wasn't restricted (Mann filter less than a year old).

Thanks for that, the last two times I had the stupid Stealership replace my cabin air filter, one guy managed to install it upside down, rotated 90 degrees and left the door loose; it was winter and that cold air blowing on my nether-regions was most uncomfortable.
