cabin air filter ??????
I have a 2001 dx coupe, problem is that i get a lot of dust in the cabin.
so I took the filterbox cover off , behind the console and there was NO filter in there!!!
Is this normal, shouldn't all civics have them?
what do you guys think?

Damn. Kinda weird I guess. Pick up a pair on H and A for 22.50 plus shipping. That is the cheapest I have seen anywhere.

So if you have a DX, do NOT order from HandA !! Cuz you will still need to buy the plastic frame filter holder. Better off buying the whole thing from a Honda dealer.

Rep Power: 0 Ya, the 2nd one was the one I got. The first one is the engine air filter, I believe.
For 22.50 (+ a bit for shipping), they'll send you 2 OEM filter inserts. So just take out the old inserts, keep the plastic frame, and plop in the new ones... and you'll save over $30 compared to what dealers charge.
I changed my old ones at 30k miles as per the manual ... they were a bit dirty, but not black like some people said above. Thought I would notice a difference in cabin airflow, but there was no diff.

Rep Power: 0 I think these micron A/C cabin filters only started with the 7th gen models.
I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but I find the air coming into my car to be very clean when I have the AC or heat on, with all windows closed. And when I tapped out my old filter, there was quite a bit of dust and dirt, and even small leaves coming loose. Maybe that micron filtration does do something.
7th gen may have it's other problems, but I find the HVAC system on these cars to be of excellent quality for a car in this price range ... very clean and quiet.

AC isn't so bad, but compared to other cars it takes foreverrrr to reach "cold cold" temperatures.
