i guess everybody pays for the dealer to install a cabin filter?
but I agree with you that it's a user servicable item and paying 3x the value to have it replaced is nuts...

glk cabin filter
so i am 300 miles away from my B service, and there is no way i'm paying $100 for the dealer to install the cabin filter. i can easily do it! i have seen Mann-Hummel cabin filters on ebay for the glk going for $28 shipped.
the c350 filters goes for alot cheaper, as low as $15 shipped. Mann-Hummel says the glk and c class share the same filter, but some sellers say they are not the same. has anybody bought a cabin filter off ebay or other sites for the c350 and determined if it fits a glk350?

show corresponding MANN+HUMMEL Group P/Ns for the 350 C-Class and 350 GLK cabin filters.
BTW: By clicking the GLK350 4Matic and - the Cabin Filter CUK 2551, there is a link to a neat DIY replacement procedure called "Mounting instructions": http://www.mann-hummel.com/mf_prodka...u/HB5JXdhG.pdf

it is incredibly simple to remove and replace! my service advisor said if i replace it, it'll save me $100. who wouldn't do it themselves to save $100 on the overpriced B service!! and honestly it's not even that dirty??

I have inquired at a MB dealer for cost and "how to tip" on getting this done.
Just curious myself if this is DIY or do is really a MB tech's cup of tea?
Need to get in touch with dealer tomorrow....
Not sure who makes MB filter?
Will advise of cost...

I have used Mann everything (air filter, air cabin filter, oil filter) with no issues. I have over 50K miles on my vehicle.
The Mann parts fit perfectly. No issues.
You really have to beware of the other brands. Others are much cheaper, but the quality is not the same. For example, the air cabin filter needs to be charcoal-activated. If you read carefully, the others brands do not meet this requirement, although they will fit perfectly.
The oil filter is really important. Mann filter is about $10 for me. The other brands may be cheaper by like 1-2 dollars, which is not worth the decrease in quality.

My GLK was due its B service recently. I decided to change my air and cabin filters to save myself so money. Found Mann filters available at my local NAPA parts store for about 1/2 of what the dealer wanted for them.
