Would any of our experts know where and how the heck to change the engine air filter. (I found the cabin filter under the left cowl). Tax in advance

This W205 with M264 should be pretty close. The M276 engine in the W212 and W166 have nearly identical air filter replacement procedures, so if this precedent applies to W205 and V167, the attachment should help.

Thanks.....does it make sense to create a sticky thread of How to Guides and relocate threads as this info is useful and appreciated

So I tried this out as I was replacing mine with a k&n filter.....what a pain in the ****. The directions are good, but on the w167/350, there are some tubes connected to the underside of the air intake that make it darn tough to raise the housing up high enough to swap the filters. I couldn’t figure how the disconnects work in order to get free release....it’s done and thankfully won’t need to do again for about 7500mi

I believe they built the engine air filter casing first then the entire engine around that ! I know there are 5 screws around the top. You need to remove the plastic engine cover to get the ones on the left side and a long neck screw driver to reach the back left.I literally was standing on top of my engine compartment to finish the job. Thank you Mercedes 😒
