5Mercedes C220 CDI SE AMG Coupe 52 Plate
New member needing air filter & power upgrade advice :-)
Hi everyone,
I have recently brought a 52 plate Merc CDI220 SE coupe with AMG styling.
My questions are:
I would like to know if an after market air filter like K&N is available and where i can get it from or any recommendations??
and secondly i am considering having an ECU remap done, any advice on how/where or things to look out for when getting this done would be much appreciated.
Last but not least, the oil, what is the best type/grade etc to use??
Thanks in advance

I actually have a K&N air filter from my 05' C230 kompressor that I'm looking to get rid of since my lease is coming to an end. Has about 13k miles on it. Not sure if it will fit your car though.

Most of the folks here are from North America and won't understand the UK's licence plate system. Since I left the UK for Canada I can't decipher the 'new' licence plate system either
Cars are referred to by model year, '03, '04 etc. To be confusing the model years typically start in August/September.
Cheers

5Mercedes C220 CDI SE AMG Coupe 52 Plate
I did not realise, appologies 
Its a 2002 model (on a 52 reg because it was registered in November).
I believe that vehicles registered in the first half of the year receive the 01, 02, 03 etc reg number.
My bad guys
Thanks for clearing that up tj40
