Clean evaporator coils and ductwork whenever air starts to smell...

IF you have deep pockets do it every oil change or more.

How often do you clean your Home AC?
It has the same issues.

Home aircon has to be cleaned once a year.
I know exactly how the coil collect dirt on home aircon, so it should be the same on cars ?

Took delivery of my C300 Luxury trim on 2/07/15. Haven't cleaned the AC yet (but I am retired, and it has only 23,000 miles).

A gaggle of MB's
If you ever start getting the "wet gym shoe smell" - easiest DIY is heat on high/full blast - "recirculation on" if you have that - run for 20 minute to cook the sh*t out of the system

1. MB "recommended" cabin air filter change at 20K/B service

2. Mercedes has a "Climate Control" cleaning service - which is a aerosol spray cleaner as another options service

3. Amazon has "Klima Cleaner" aerosol which is same manuf/OE supplier for MB

4. Some of my buddiess use a Toyota "climate control aerosol kit" avail from Amazon or Toyota dealer

I JUST bought a Mann Cabin Air Filter today on Amazon same as a Benz, and that cleaning kit and
Lubegard 96030 Kool-It Evaporator and Heater Foam Cleaner Lubegard 96030 Kool-It Evaporator and Heater Foam Cleaner
. When you do Cabin Filter in my C63 (W205) they have a connection right next to it and i can spray this and kill bacteria. Good Reviews.

I just saw this video where 2 filters are changed, but can you confirm that they are not related to air conditioning ?

I don't have a Benz, but I can share my experience. I think you can order ac repair holiday fl at least once a year if you don't want your mover to shake somehow while running simultaneously as the AC. A friend of mine had a used car with a/c that caused the engine to shake while standing still. There was nothing wrong with the vehicle on the road. He ended up getting his air conditioner upgraded and repaired. I guess AC repair service can't be considered too expensive if you'll do it once a year. Plus, when you buy an air conditioner, they give you a warranty for the first time you use it, and you can also benefit from repair services.
