Fuel filter with sensor or without
i'm placing an order for some parts for a service. I asked for a oil filter and the woman at Mercedes service parts asked if it was with or without sensor. I wasn't sure so i had a look on my car. It seems that it is without a sensor. What im wondering is do all w204 have a sensor on them? Because last year i had it serviced i dont remember anything about sensors so i have a feeling i may have just purchased one without by chance.
So is it your choice of putting a oil filter with a sensor or not. If so i imagine a sensor would be a better choice? Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Neither of those sensors is part of or anywhere near the oil filter. But I have been wrong before.
I would have answered her question with a question of my own: "Which sensor are you referring to?"

I am aware of an oil level sender (sensor) that sits at the bottom of the oil pan as well as a dielectric sensor that looks for changes in capacitance through the oil, to determine the level of breakdown/contaminants in the oil, the results are then used to give an indication of when it is time to change the oil.
