Mercedes money saving tip

[230K]

Hi

Annoyed at the cost of the pollen filter (£20 + vat) for my 98 E 300 i decided not to change it at the last service, well sure enough i found the blower making noise and not delivering.
Removed the said filter and hoovered it out with the wifes hoover and a pointy attachment thingy on the end and low and behold the fan is working at full effiency again. Total time 10mins.

Try it it works.

I think it warrants a How To. As in, how do I find said filter? How do I remove it? How do I use a hoover?

For real, a removal and reinsertion of W210 filter HOWTO with photos would rock.

What? You want Kryten, the robot (sorry, Android) from Red Dwarf?

It may be making less noise but it won't be working as it's supposed to do.
