Aircon filter w204

[sceh]

I ordered a BOLK aircon filter for my w204 and it doesn't fit properly because the leading edge does not nest properly inside the housing. The original has a sort of tongue and this is solid.
Is this just me being clumsy or anyone else had issues? Sadly it will probably cost me ore to return than to buy another..
thanks

Do you mean cabin/pollen filter ? They are normally straightforward items. I personally have never heard of BOLK filters.

Yes. Bolk is a fairly common German make but it doesn't push all the way in to sit correctly - only a millimetre but enough to stop the clips attaching

What's the price difference over one from Mercedes?

I've not heard of Bolk either; if it was me I'd simply buy either a genuine MB filter or one of the more-recognised brands such as Mann, Hengst etc. and you know it will fit.

As you say it will virtually cost as much to return it as it's worth, I'm guessing it was an online order, possibly from ouf of UK?

Curious name for a company, especially in German ...

I am wrong. It is a german sounding name adopted by the biggest car parts group in France. Bolk means to belch n German

buy cheap buy twice.

MB genuine all the way, never have fit issuses compared to bolx

Genuine MB doesn't have a biocidal layer .

MAHLE CareMetix is the best .
