cabin filters
 

Hi guys. I've started to look around for cabin filters for my ti. Would anyone here know if our filter is the same as another make/model? Like if a Lexus something has the same filter as a Ford that would be the same as ours. I did a cross reference but it came up with company names not a make/model. Thanks

I highly doubt it. Nearly every 318ti part is unique. You can buy them new for $8 each with free shipping ($16 a set)
Check out ebay, here is a link to one, but plenty of people sell them for that price.

Just keep in mind that while they may "fit"... the cheap ones might not snap into the holder. I had to use wire to keep mine in place.

I bought the cheap ones off eBay and had that issue. I was able to bend them to get them to stay but it took a while for them to stay there and not fall out.

I found that Mann #cu10062 is a replacement for ours but I have not confirmed it yet.

Gents...

Where the hell is the cabin filter on these cars??? (new to the Ti)

I looked under the dash behind the glove box & under the hood near the center grill near the wipers. No luck (( any help & pix please. TIA.

Thank you, I will dig a bit deeper there.

Looks like ya got your hands full there.

It’s behind the harness and the black plastic cover, after that just shove hands in and replace.

And thanks it’s the 3rd motor swap, mostly done now. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...79ab02a7f1.jpg
