I am about to pull the trigger in the next 2 wks on a 2012 eclass 350 cdi.
On my current car, I do an in between service at 10k, with oil / filter / pollen / and air filter once a year. Once a year it goes to an indie to do oil / filter via sump, fuel filter and all the other checks that is scheduled for that service.
I am looking at doing the same with the merc - oil / filter every 6 months / air & pollen filter when required, leaving the other stuff to an indy.
Is this straightforward to do - i think i read something about having to do something with STAR on the air filters?
I saw the main dealer prices of nearly £200 for a air filter change and silly money for a pollen filter!
I will also try and supply parts for the indy service too
Thanks
