Engine Air Filter Replacement

Model: Mercedes Classe M W164 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Air filter

Regular maintenance of the vehicle ensures a long life and prevents breakdowns. The checks that every driver can perform are simple yet important. Regularly replacing the air filter is one of those easy tasks. Open the bonnet and remove the hoses that supply air to the filter. Disconnect the spring from the cover and completely remove the air box. Once the air box is fully removed, unscrew the eight Torx screws, take off the covers, and remove the old cartridges. Replace them with new filters, ensuring to clean the inside of the air box with compressed air and seal it tightly.
