Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the air filter on a Mercedes GLC by following a few simple steps: the first thing to do is purchase a new air filter; the next step is to get inside the vehicle, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine.

Lift the hood and secure it with the prop rod. Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the screw 90° located on the engine cover.

Once the screw is turned, you can remove the engine cover. After removing the engine cover, unscrew the 6 Torx screws to free the air box, as the air filter is located inside it. Once the old air filter is removed, clean its housing with the help of an air compressor.

Next, position the new air filter and reassemble all parts in reverse order.
