Hi, Is there anyway I can tell if my 1995 w124 e250 should have been fitted with cabin dust filters, ie: from the vin number. the reason I asked is the Main dealer charged me for replacing them at a major service a few years back. Now I have the time to do my own servicing, I find they are not...

Thanks
