Hi all,
I want to change the pollen filter on my 2012 c class - been looking and Euro do several different makes ie Bosch, Mann etc - are these ok or is it worth buying a genuine Merc one?
Thanks

All reputable brands are OK - Bosch, Mann, Knecht, Mahle, etc.

Just make sure you get the right one for your car:

- On some models there are different filters for RHD and LHD

- On some models there's a choice between standard filters and active charcoal filters

So best to look for cross-ref P/N on the manufacturer's website.

Yes that what I went for and it fitted OK with a bit of swearing.

So I changed the filter - not too bad - another problem is that there doesn't seem to be much air going to the windscreen when either the defrost button is pressed or the windscreen position is selected
There is some but not as powerful as the dash vents (like a wind tunnel!) Is this normal or is it a problem?

This thread reminded me that I wanted to change my cabin filter.

I've just bought a Hengst Cabin filter from GSF car parts.

60% off so ended up paying £14.75 for it

Not an activated charcoal one then ?
