Gen 3 I believe, but maybe gen 2, or late gen 2.

Gen 1, no. I've just removed the heatercore from one and have had to clean out the evaporator because it was half clogged with mud and leaves. disgusting.

Did mine on the weekend. I am guessing that in its 5 years of Subi service history they didn't think that it was needed, even my mate who works for a Subi mechanic said thay never did them because it wasn't needed, he he I can't wait to show him :). Below is the beautiful filter that was providing me with lovely fresh air...

Still it sounds like it needs to be done sometime. Thanks for the heads up.

Tim we are talking about a heater core in a gen1 liberty that requires the dash out. For your a/c filter follow the walkthrough.
