NO,no, stop. There's a little knob on nthe side of the air filter box ( I think ) of my e320cdi w210. What's it for?

It's a gauge to say when the filter is blocked. The knob resets it.

Thanks DM. As you can see it is completely white. This is good? Will it change colour if blocked?

 

[Dieselman]

Goes Red.

Ahh the lovely invention of the torx bolt . I have many memories of rounding these brittle bolts off on a sunday afternoon when all the shops are shut and you need to be at work for 7am on a monday morning
