DUSTING A PROBLEM? INSERT HERE

Dusting can cause havoc for some Toyota LandCruisers, which is why we’ve developed the Terrain Tamer Air Filter Insert Kit.

The original design of the upper filter housing of some LandCruiser models features a seal surface which is too narrow to match the seal of the filter itself. As a result, the filter does not properly seal, allowing dust to pass through the airbox and enter the engine intake.

To combat this problem, we’ve developed our Design Protected range of filter inserts, which when fitted, create a surface area to perfectly match the filter, aligning in the correct position to seal effectively and deliver a premium result.The kit includes the insert, filter and sealant and carries the Terrain Tamer signature. Available for V8 Toyota Landcruiser Models: KDJ120/150/155,

With everything you need including radiators, water pumps, thermostats, hoses, belts, coolant, and more, NAPA Auto Parts knows how to keep it cool.

What causes modular hoses to fail?

Plastic Connectors - Plastic connectors become brittle due to high heat and will crack from engine vibration and hose repositioning during routine maintenance.

Tough Conditions - As with traditional coolant hoses, exposure to constant changes in heating and cooling under the hood causes the rubber to deteriorate.

Quick Connectors - Quick connectors tend to get damaged when hoses are removed for general cooling system maintenance.

Complex Internal Components - In addition, a lot of modular hoses have sensors, flow restrictors and directional valves inside them that can get damaged. The modules within the hoses are critical to the proper operation of the cooling system.

NAPA Auto Parts has over 240 modular hose part numbers to suit popular European applications so you can be sure we have the right part for the job! Visit NAPA PROLink to find the right parts for your vehicle application.
