Part: Cabin air filter

Replacing the cabin filter in a Mercedes A-Class is an extremely simple and quick operation. Let's see how to proceed in this tutorial. Before starting, wait for the engine to cool completely, as the filter is located right behind it. Begin by opening the hood, then locate the long plastic cover in the center of the rear cover, just in front of the windshield. Next, unlock the two retaining clips, remove it, and open the secondary cover. At this point, you can extract the old filter, insert the new one, and reassemble everything.
