Cabin air filter

[AveoRob]

Does anybody know if the Aveo 5 SVM without A/C has a cabin air filter? I read the manual and removed the glovebox and I'll be damned if I can find it. It looks like they all have one, maybe I am blind.

Thank God for this post, its helped me smile ear to ear again, I had a completely blocked airfilter, it didn't allow any airflow through it.

Do you know the part number for the Cabin Filter and the Engine Air Filter as well?

According to some of the review comments, they are, but I don't know that for a fact. They worked fine for me and are a third of the price a service shop would charge. It was a 10 minute job to replace both filters.

They aren't the stock GM filters, but I wouldn't worry about getting original GM filters, there's not really a point. These ones would work just as well, and definitely cost less. If you look around on amazon or in an automotive store, you should be able to find stuff that fits your car. Normally I'd recommend just going to an automotive store, they have books that let you look up what filters they sell that will fit your car.

That said, if you're dead set on OEM, here are some part numbers.

Air intake filter: GM Part # 96536696 or ACDelco A3081C

Cabin air filter: GM Part # 96449577

Here is video if anyone needs help.

The above video is great, but my 04 had a plastic piece underneath the metal bar that was removed, which made removal of the filter impossible ! I cut the plastic piece that is shaped just like the metal one that's removed and have suffered no ill affects . I shoved the crevice tool on my shop vac to get any loose junk out of the plenum , which they don't do in the video..

My 09 had the same plastic piece. I didn't cut it off completely, just snapped one of the sides so I could bend it out of the way. I'll probably take your idea and just cut the plastic bar off, since it really is pointless with the metal bar there.

And the last mechanic I had talked to told me there wasn't a cabin air filter in my car...
