2002 c230 sport coupe six spd. C7
Air Filter

I was going to change the engine air filter element in my 2002 C230 Coupe (111 engine) but find that I don't have the proper bit to loosen/remove the torx bolts (or, whatever they're called) securing the air filter box together nor the star looking bolt attaching the air filter box to the intake pipe. Can somebody tell me the size and proper name of these type bolts? That is, the size/name of the bolts attaching the air filter box together and the size/name of the bolt securing the air box to the intake pipe. Thanks.

2002 C230 Coupe six speed, C7 C5 30k miles (four snows on this winter)

Just wander on down

to your local Sears or autoparts store...get a full set of the smaller Torx bits.Just buying ONE will not be a whole lot cheaper than the set.They'll all come in handy when you start to do more stuff to your car.
