lukEp Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Well messing with my SR and there is a 3 x button clips on the bottom of the heater box so I pulled them out and a flap dropped out with a filter in it. First I've seen one... is it just UK spec or SR or have they all got one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Well my glanza has one as well and there is 2 filters inside the box not one. Mine looks like a dead cat. 20years of never being changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Not every ep has them, some just have a solid cover over the top. Last one I put in mine I scented up so I get a waft of air freshener whenever the heatings on lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farley V Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) I think there is a thread on tgtt explaining this. Edited March 9, 2020 by Farley V Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farley V Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Actually reading the threads on tgtt so many contradicting views. I'd be interested to see what the definitive answer is. Some saying 98 spec glanza has them whilst 96 spec doesn't. Vast majority that say they have them is ep91 non turbo / not glanza models. Pretty certain my 96 does not have them remember looking numerous times... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 both my starlets had them my 98 spec glanza and my 98 na sportif. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Both of mine are 98 spec as well so looks like it's the facelift only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farley V Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I think you may be right. Here is a pic of my genuine 96 v. (Sorry couldnt rotate pic) The box has no filter hole. However i notice there's a pipe comnected that looks like it goes through the firewall, your car doesn't have that pipe so toyota must have changed a few things on the facelift system.

Farley V Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Out of interest, people saying they have a 98 glanza v - is that deffo a v from the factory? I.e. not a conversion and still has the filter?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 I have a 98 UK spec SR which I've turbo'd which had a pollen filter and a 98 imported Factory Glanza V with a pollen filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 That pipe is a water drain for the A/C my Glanza has one but no need for the SR to have one as it's never had A/C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farley V Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Cool, looks like we've settled it then, unless someone with a 96 shows a pic of one lol No idea about gt's though. Thanks for explaining the pipe function also. Makes me wonder where all the junk that the filter picks up goes to in mine though!

Farley V Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Quick update on explaining the mystery. I got in touch with Jay on TGTT who told me that: "Toyota started introducing a different evaporator housing from Dec 97 (coincides nicely with the mk2 V) which incorporated cabin pollen filters. As you can imagine in Japan this was a major feature as they are all about the air quality. Worth noting that it's not just as cut and dry as that. Pollen filters only became factory in 97, however before that you could still spec them as a dealer option. That means there's 1996 V's running round with them too albeit retrofitted." Therefore, this would also generally agree with why toyodiy parts catalogue has only 97+ V's listed for the pollen filters. Jay also mentioned that the EP82's never got them as they were obviously previous to this. Edited March 9, 2020 by Farley V Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SKINY Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 yep ep82 only have a wee guaze bit on top of the fan unit assembly for fresh air intake, its crap tho but something could always be made to fit I'm sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
