Where to replace A/C Filter?

[vt5sport]

Besides C&C, any bros got recommendations on where (and how much $) to replace the a/c filter for W204? IIRC, last time C&C quoted something like $180+....damn blardy ketok.

Sin min has a place called Moto-Aire Service Centre call them before going down they do a/c regas as well

bro,

 

you can DIY. buy from stockists, original Merc is at 60+, OEM Mann filter is cheaper. anyway, my C180 from C&C came with the OEM when I did the change the first time.

does anyone have part numbers for the cabin filter? Mann numbers would be best!

Yes....this is for all W204 models. Goldenlink (stockist) will know the air filter part no when u buy buy from them.

I got brand new oem w204 cabin air filter if u want..selling at same price as stockist..$60..bought from Goldenlink..

 

The video is quite accurate..only for the new c180 7G the rear clip is very very difficult to get off..good if u have small hands..

That rear clip is the same for all W204. Yes..it's a bit tricky here...u need to tilt the whole panel side way in order to slide it out forward. The video clip showed that part.

It's not the clip that holds the panel but the small metal clip that hold the filter itself, its at the back, you will not be able to see it, it must be done by feeling it

 

There are 2 small metal clips, the outer one is easy to get off, the inner one is a pain..

Better get an experienced mech to do do it. I watched the mech changed mine previously and I can tell you it is a pain and very challenging. Even the mech was complaining!

Totally agree, when I did it myself it was really a pain..get a mech thats the best

You'll save 30+ bucks if u change it yourself.

P/N of Cabin air filter for W204, the part number is A212 830 0218. Dont confuse with engine air filter.I usually buy from Tye Soon  or Eng Soon ($60). AS mentioned by many bro here, no need to know the part number, just tell the stockist your Car Chassis number and they will know. The Chassis number is also on the driver side door and can be seen when you open yr door. Just take a picture with yr phone and show the stockist. Keep the photo handy and can be use whenever you need any other parts. 

Btw the details in PDF Cabin filter change instruction posted by Sliver88 is written by me years ago.  

 

As for the small clip behind , yes its a pain to remove or refit, so what i did was use a small flat screw driver to force it out.

I didnt PUT BACK BOTH CLIPs but just put back one clip (left side), any way the filter wont slip out since its very lght and one clip enough to hold the White Plastic in place.    

Hope the above helps as I have benefitted from this website with much info. Its a great site to share info.

Cheers!!!

Hi Bro

 

Can I have the contact for Dynamic Mechanics ? Thinking of changing my filter too. Thank you.

Yep, I can attest that Moto-Aire Service at Sin Min is good for it. I went there with no appointment. They did not have the filter in store, but got it within 30 minutes. Within one hour total time it was ready, cost was 55,- SGD. Official OEM cabin filter was used. I will definitely go back with my 8 yr old W204 Mercedes
