Cabin Filter Change for GD and GG

[Timmah]

This is the part code for an OEM filter.

If you check Amazon/Ebay, you can get aftermarket brands for cheaper prices.

I got mine from Partsouq for $60 NZD shipped. Shipping took a week.

Where the screws are.

There is one plastic screw bit on the passengers side of the dash. I would locate and remove this first.

I personally left the very top middle screw in place until I had taken the other screws out, so it didn't fall on me.

This little compartment houses the filter.

Try to be gentle when unhooking the tabs, I used a little too much force and broke the left side one. Oh well, no one will notice.

You may find the filter itself has a snug fit. I wasn't shy and pulled it out and popped the new one in without much care. The filter will deform and pop back into shape.

Old vs new.

I broke that clip too. They get EXTREMELY brittle over time - I wonder what that cover costs from Partsouq?

Mine still had the original (2001) filter in it when I changed it in 2013. Was pretty grotty.

I may give Armstrongs a bell and see if they can give me a part number for it.

If any of you are wanting one locally Super Cheap can get them in from Ryco. You are after a RCA163P Filter. Its order only which is a bit annoying but shouldnt be much. Ill check how much it is to order tomorrow and update you
