If replacement is needed, we install a Mercedes-Benz Genuine engine filter and confirm proper airbox closure. Next, we inspect the cabin microfilter behind the glove box; if clogged or odorous, we fit a Genuine Mercedes-Benz particulate or charcoal filter per your preference. We also perform an intake housing check and a visual MAF sensor inspection to ensure there are no leaks, debris, or contamination that could affect turbo response or idle quality. Ready to proceed?
