C250 Engine Air Filter Change
Hey there, guys.
I've noticed that there is no tutorial on how to replace the engine filter on the 1.8 Turbo C250 (2012). Although I'm sure it's an easy swap, I've never changed it on this particular car.
Anyone care to point me in the right direction? This is for a stock air filter change, not a K&N upgrade.
Thanks in advance!

Remove the ram air hose going from radiator shroud to intake box (lower hose), you can either remove the hose alone or include the ram air portion.
Just use a flat head and on the airbox side where the hose connects, look for a small square indent, give it a push with the flat head while pulling the hose towards you.
Loosen the intake pipe (upper hose) clamp using a flat head, give it a good pull towards you.
There are 3 torx screws holding the upper box to the bottom portion of the intake box. They are designed to not fall out so just loosen all 3 till you can remove the box instead of standing there wondering why the screws won't come out.
Install is reverse.
