300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Faulty

pressure regulator built into the fuel filter can throw those fuel trim codes.
Make sure you have it connected completely with no air leaks. That could also cause an issue even with a good oem filter.
Where did you get the filter?
