cabin filter
 

Hello guys,

where is the cabin filter position in a w222 exactly, does anyone know?

or better has done a DIY change of said filter?

thank you!

Post your VIN for the correct procedure

OEM combination filter part # 2228300318.

Easy DIY job. The hardest part is to get the 1st replacement filter to stay in while you place the 2nd filter in. You must be very careful for proper placement. The Filter has 2 holes in it for the plastic pins in the top of the air box to line up the filters... Good Luck!

thx man!

konigstiger:
is the location and procedure the same for my WDDUG8FB4GA227979?

thanks!

You're awesome man. May I ask how and where do you get these documents from? Is their a database that I could also use in future for certain maintenance jobs?

Yes, MB part # 2228300418.

Konigstiger, can we just start dumping money into a personal account for you? You are so extremely helpful to so many. We can run it like American Museum of Natural History | New York City (amnh.org) Admission is free, but we can make Donations.

Not sure of everyone’s age but I’m sure there are a few that remember: “Hey, kids! I want you to tiptoe into your parents’ bedrooms, look in their pockets for all the green pieces of paper with the pictures of the guys in beards, and send them to Soupy Sales at channel 5 in New York.” ......Wait a minute, is helping MB owners a passionate cause acceptable to GoFundMe :D

The installation instructions state that the filters have to be installed with the arrows pointing towards the blower motor. There are no arrows on the replacement filters at all. Which side points where. There are flaps on each side and there is a soft side (light gray) and a hard side (dark gray) to each filter as far as the filter media goes. I know there are holes at the top of each filter but they fit either way and I don't want to have to do this twice. And don't say put them in the same way the old ones came out. What if the previous owner did it wrong?

Could these be the arrows (where the holes are)? Credit goes to the wife if they are. I had her look at them.

Yes, lack of arrows on replacements about drove me nuts. Very difficult to figure out the arrangement and who the hell knows where the &*#^$*^# blower motor is? At least if you had arrows then you'd only need to know whether they point toward or away from each other.

This picture shows how I did mine, the tabs angled outward from the center, if that makes any sense ;-)

If you are doing this for the first time you may encounter 2 silver screws from the factory in addition to the other black screws, which are not throw away.
