Hi all,

Need to replace for my Impreza MY06. Does anyone know where to get an after market or OEM in Sydney? The dealer wants $115 to replace it. The parts costs around $70 to do it myself.

If not, I'm thinking to get it from US.

Thanks...

Welcome to the forums Phenomena,

I'd probabily look at getting it done at the dealer - $70 for parts + $45 for labour... It'd probably be worth your while to do it that way unless you know exactly what your doing as not to cause any damage to your interior/surrounding parts.

$70 for parts sounds a little steep, but are they factory original units from the dealership or aftermarket jobs? I'd say that the factory original units would be a lot better at clearing dust and pollens from the incoming air to the cab.

Good luck either way.

Cheers

should be sixty for the part 72880fe000

Thanks for the info guys.
I just can't justify what the dealer charge. It needs to be replaced every year. It's a 20 mins job and the after market sells around US$10-16. I think I'll get some from there.

If you're smart... Is to get 3rd party filters from other company, eg. Liberty EJ22's air filter is same as VN-VT Commodore air filter and can get them from Holden for $8.70, does the same job.

Nah, I was saying as an example about the air filters. I am aware about the pollen filters - I am sure there is another car make that would be the same? - cant hurt to find out.
