Cabin Filter


I have a C230 (Canadian) and have noticed no cabin filter where my old C class used to have.....how about the C300 or C350 is there a filter above the battery in the black "snot box" is what I call it.

Was thinking about putting something in there to use as a filter

Rest easy. The cabin filter is my '01 C320 would need changing in less than a year and so I pulled the filter in my C300 recently (after a search for it) and found it to be nowhere near needing changing. The filter design is quite different and the dealer thinks it will go 30K miles.

Oh all right.

It's located above the passenger's ankles, just like a W202. To get to it, the underdash panel must be removed which requires a Torx bit, #10 I think. But to get the panel out I had to remove the side panel in the footwell, pulling backwards and slightly upward. And to get that out, I had to remove the door sill (just yank upward) so as to pull the door welting off in the area which is easy once you get it started.

To recap:

Remove:

1.Door sill
2.Door welting.
3.Side panel.
4.Under dash panel (3 Torx screws).
