Interior cabin filter replacement
#2
I have an '04 VDP....I recently bought two different cabin filters (Fram and one other aftermarket) and both were too small for the vehicle, even though these were the designated sizes according to the manufactuers...about 20% smaller, making them useless. If the air can escape around the filter v/s through, it will obviously be ineffective. The one I have in there now has a Ford logo on it. I assume I will have to get a factory replacement from my local dealer in order to find the correct size. Do yourself a favor and avoid any aftermarket filters! Changing is easy, as there is a compartment door under the hood against the firewall on your passanger side. Very easy to remove and replace. Good luck!
Regards,
Tim

I have a 05 VDP. I had the same issue in trying to find the correct size filter. All the auto stores showed my car taking the smaller filter. Finally, after ordering yet again the wrong filter for me, a knowledgeable associate at OReilly Auto figured out that the filter I needed was the one from the 2006-series. Ordered it and fit like a glove. Cost was $25.
