jedison Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I bought my Legacy GT in November and also bought a cabin air filter. I was told that the air filter was being redesigned and it would be availible in a few weeks. Every time I call the dealer he tells me there is no estimate of when the cabin filter will be ready. Has any one heard anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I would suggest getting your money back, the original filter design was deemed to difficult and time consuming to install/replace. Subaru is attempting to redesign the cabin filter kit and until they do it is unavailible. Last update we received was that it was hoped to be ready by August '04....and you see that didn't happen...

feersum dreadnaught Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 My dealer said that no filter would be available, and credited the cost of the air filter towards my subwoofer - which are available ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outback XT Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I have been told different things by different dealers. One said that they had one in stock (totally clueless!). Another said they will be available in February. Yet another said they won't be available until September. I just hope that they come out with one and don't give up!

miles Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I ordered the cabin filter from the parts department at Westboro Subaru (1-613-728-5813) in Ottawa, Canada. They received the filter 2 weeks later. For $90 Canadian the cabin filter kit only contains the filter material & instructions. I had the dealer install the filter last Thursday (2005-01-13). It was their 1st installation on a 2005 Legacy. The installation took 2.5 hours but I was only charged for 1 hour of labour. In the winter I didn't feel like going through such a tedious install.

firedawgs Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 My cabin filter has been on order since November. Everytime I go to the dealer they say they have not heard any word yet. Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recuomo Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Bought mine in August and I have given up on the filter. No one wants to go on record as to if or when it may be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call Westboro Subaru (1-613-728-5813) and ask for Rob in the Parts Department. I think the part-no is G3210AG000. just to understand correctly.. does our car come with a filter stock... or just the location for one? is this part number for an upgraded filter? if it is what is wrong with the original one? thanksOur car has the filter frame but no filter material.

Kevskate99 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I made my own for less than 10 bucks, I'll get 4 of them out of that home filter. And its antimicrocial and is like 1140 microns or something rated? But I think all they would have to do is make it so the tray can stay inside the housing and so the door for the filter can come off with just the two top clips. This way you can reach in through where the owners manual is(take the plastic out). And reach in and take the door off, and then since the filter is flexible, you can slide it into place.... Or something like that. Anyone understand what I'm saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brento Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 How long was that filter in for? about 10 months of daily driving for a total of 10k miles. just think all that could be in your lungs or eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firedawgs Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Man, that is how much dirt we are breathing in our noses everday? That filter is black. Has anyone calls SOA on the filters? Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacky Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Yes , I did no more then a week ago. Funny things- few phones few versions, wrong design, vendor problem etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the exact same one in my XT- Home Depot special all the way. As much of a pain as it is to get it in there, I'll stick with replacing it once a year.
