Added on December 28, 2011, 1:50 pmok...fellows, honestly i not very "song" now after know that the replacement cabin air filter is so expensive and not really actual part for insight. so i write this DIY for u all. it really that simple until gal also can do it.

What tools u need: nothing...just you hands and confirm it wont dirty ur hand at all.

Steps:

1. open ur glove box and remove all things inside
2. check on the top part on the glove box, press in both side and glove box will go down.


3. there is one hook on left bottom that act like a slower when u open ur glove box. just push toward the firewall n the hook will come out


4. after the hook come out, it look like this and ur glove box can open until all ur things drop out (if u no remove them at step 1)


5. now u see the air con blower behind the glove box


6. take out the cover and u will see the filter (my one already remove to snap photo and comparison). pull out ur filter and slot in a new one. make sure the air flow sign is facing down (the sign is on the filter itself).


7. put back the filter cover.
8. install back ur glove box to it ori place.
9. lastly only put back the hook.

Here are the comparison on the ori and the newly replace filter

The ori one have those small black things.

For those who already change the filter during last service, if u dont mind pls check if this also happen to you. If they return u the old filter inside the new filter packing, pls have a look on the part number. If their standard is using 80292-TG0-Q01 to replace our cabin air filter, then i will recommend others go outside and buy this filter urself and DIY. no point paying RM90 (after discount) for such an easy job

Happy new Year 2012 to everyone.

Just spend my time on modding on Boot Lamp.



Progress are below Spoiler.

Finally, I manage to pinpoint the source of the wind noise by accident.

I was spending my Sunday installing sidestep steel plate onto my car. The front plate comes with LED, so I decided to link them up to the room light circuit. I opened the plastic trim along the sidestep to allow me to pull out the door trim rubber lining and thread the wiring of the LED on steel plate into the car.

While I was removing the passenger side sidestep plastic trim, a black plastic plug, about the size of 20 cents coin dropped out. I was guessing that could have been dislodged due to improper factory installation as no one had dismantled that part of my car before (Japanese also human, they may make mistake too). Putting my hand in between the plastic trims and the car body, I could not find any hole that this plug could fit, so finally and reluctantly, i took out most of the plastic trim on the passenger side. I found the hole at the sidewall somewhere beside the glovebox, somewhere below the passenger door wiring. I could be pretty sure that's the hole as there are no other nearby, and the size is perfect fit for the plug i found. So i just plug the hole up.

After fixing the wiring for the sidestep LED putting back all the plastic trims very carefully not to break anything or left anything loose that might rattle, time to go for testdrive. Of course, the LED is easier to test, just open door and the LED comes on. I was more eager to test whether the plug I found did solve the whistling noise that had been bothering me each time I reach highway speed. After driving up and down NKVE for about 45 minutes, I finally convinced the whistling noise has been eliminated.

Close case, finally. Ended up I spend one whole day on my car due to the extra time caused by discovery of this 20 cent size plastic plug, but I am very happy and statisfied, apart from smiling myself looking at the blue glow of my newly installed side step, I got a bonus today for be sure not hearing any more whistling sound each time I hit highway speed, and prove to myself I am not paranoid about the noise as what the service center might have thought.

I just think service center should have took customer complain more seriously, rather than just come out with some lame excuse or even worst to lie to customer in order to coax customer to accept minor defects so they can safe on troubleshooting work.
