Part: Air filter

Replacing the air filter in the Mercedes A-Class W169 is very simple, as shown in the attached video guide. First, remove the control unit that acts as a cover by unscrewing the two screws, disengaging the unit from the rear pins, and disconnecting the cables on the left side. At this point, press the plastic clip on the filter itself and pull it upwards. If the housing is particularly dirty, proceed with a general cleaning by disassembling it.
