2019 E450 engine air filter:
Did a search and did not come up with anything. I am fast approaching 50,000 miles. At 50,000 miles Mercedes recommends changing the engine air filters: there are two filters. (these filters are in addition to the cabin filters) Did a youtube search. All the videos are for older V6's or the 4. I did not find anything for my engine, 276 which is the V6 BiTurbo- V6
Has anyone changed these filters?
If it is relatively easy, I would like to do it myself.
Many thanks!
Has anyone changed these filters?
- Is it relatively easy like the cabin filter in the engine bay or difficult like the cabin filter under the dash?
- Part number
- Cost
If it is relatively easy, I would like to do it myself.
Many thanks!

You remove the engine cover and you will see two air boxes on either side, you unscrew (the screws are theoretically locked in place and won't fall out but I wouldn't lift it up just rotate it, since i did make a mistake and one of the screws did dislodge and fell in the engine bay (that was fun to get out : ), you may disconnect the sensors connected but it is optional.
Part number is A 276 094 05 04 and you need two for both sides.

Seriously?
I'm sure there are tutorials on how to search. Just search for them.
Also, just because your specific car does not show up in search results does not mean other results are no good. The E450 uses the same M276.8XX engine as -400, -43AMG, and other -450 vehicles.

Does everyone really let their engine air filters go 50,000 miles before servicing them? I pull mine out every 5K miles at oil change intervals and vacuum the debris from their intake surfaces, then replace them at 20,000 miles -- about $70 for the set and 20 minutes of time. Even cabin filter service intervals are more frequent than 50,000 miles.

FYI, cabin filters are every 20K miles. Engine air filter every 50K miles. If dirty conditions, sooner. When I did my cabin filters after 20K miles, they were basically "clean" and didn't need to be done. I will now change them at 30K intervals.

I had found them as well.
However, and perhaps you are not aware, those videos show the center plastic cover simply popping off. On my 2019 E450, it is far more complicated: you have to remove the air tubes as well which then gives you access to the boxes which house the air filters. However, they are in the rear of the engine compartment. Before I started I wanted to know how difficult it was: easy like the cabin filter in the engine or difficult like the cabin filter under the dashboard.
W205C43PFL was kind enough to reply that it is relatively easy and also a T10 wrench is needed where the video mention a T20.
The Frame filter equivalent is part CA11861, $16.79 for 2 on Amazon:

Here are the steps that I used: total time about 20 minutes, 10 minutes per filter: degree of difficulty * (easiest):
FWIW, my filters after 50,000 miles were pretty clean and there was no debris in the filter compartment.
Hope this will help anyone else wanting to replace their engine air filters.
Here are the steps that I used: total time about 20 minutes, 10 minutes per filter: degree of difficulty * (easiest):
- Open hood and remove the center rubber air piece from the front bracket leaving the rubber air piece attached to the large (cosmetic) cover.
- Remove the large cosmetic center cover. It will pop off. It is attached by plastic gromets.
- This will leave exposed the two compartments where the air filters are.
- Do not remove the two air ducts from the front bracket to the compartments containing the air filters.
- There are four (4) screws that hold down the top of the compartment. Use a T20 screwdriver to loosen the screws. The screws are designed not to fall out. Do not remove the screws.
- After the 4 screws are loosened gently lift the top off by pulling forward, there are two latches in the rear. After the latches are free, gently move the top to the center. By doing this you will not have to remove the air sensors.
- Remove the old filter, clean out any debris and install new filter. Make sure the filter and the handle are seated. If the new filter is not properly seated it will not be possible to tighten down the top.
- Put the top back on by first inserting the rear tabs and then tighten down with the four screws.
- Make sure both air ducts are firmly in place directly in front of the air filter compartment.
- Reinstall the center cosmetic cover. This will require slight tapping to make sure all gromets are firmly in place.
- Reattach center front rubber air tube (it remained on the center cover) to the front bracket
- Double check to make sure center cover, left and right air ducts are firmly in place.

I was able to find the first engine dust filter (PN: 166-830-02-18) and the activated charcoal combination filter behind the glove box (PN: 2058350147), but I can't seem to find a part number or name of the second engine filter. The service schedule for my 2019 E300 W213 says to replace an engine air filter AP09.10-P-0980CWG. I believe this was the second filter you are referencing in this thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

dust + activated charcoal filter = 2 cabin air filters
M276 3.0TTV6 uses 2 engine air filters
Please be sure you are confident you understand the difference between cabin filters and engine air filters.

You are correct. But keep in mind, the engine air filter, the cabin air filter in the engine compartment (dust) and the charcoal one under the glove compartment all look different. You cannot mistake one for the other and each one will only fit in its proper place.

I changed the engine air filters on my E400 when the car hit 5 years. I used the attached instructions and the job was super easy. I bought the engine air filters from RockAuto and aside from the fact that the original ones had the MB emblems, the filters were identical and a lot cheaper than buy them from an MB dealer.

Thanks for the document. It is super simple that you only need the right tools (torx), and just unscrew the screws, keep them in the cover, rotate it (don't flip it, as you might loose them in the engine bay, ask how I know), it is not meant to come out of the cover but it still fell out for me, then you just take the filter out, put the new one, making sure the gap is good, put the cover on, screw and torque and done.

That is a very good idea, I got so much debris last time I changed it, the little brackets also come off easily, just don't break it when pulling them out,.
