[Red Devil]

Hi All,

Finally managed to login after re-creating account

Anyone can advise how much is C&C charging the air filter for W204 (C180K) during their servicing ?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Why not use K&N filter? A one time investment of abt hundred + dollars and you can used till you scrap your car.

Hi Jon,

Thinking of buying the K&N filter, does it improve the low end torque?

What I can say is that it make your car breath better during acceleration. Definitely worth buying.

The oiled filter will contaminate the Air Flow Sensor.

The oiled filter will contaminate the Air Flow Sensor.

Is that mean the K&N filter is oily? Not recommended for Merc?

Please advise...

i cant use K&N as Aviva say installing K&N considered a mod.

i remember there is one or two thread discussing on the w204 part number

If I remember correctly, the paper air filter, see&see will charge you something like S$120-150. Exhorbitant.

Installed my K&N. Yes, breathes better.

Cleaned and oiled it liked every 20k.

In the long run, it saves you $.

Thus, in my opinon, why not for a after-market air filter?

Void insurance? Unless you are prone to claiming it.........changing air filter is a very easy DIY task which only involves using the correct hexangonal sized key yea.

Yap K & N has oil on it. After cleaning u nned to dry & oil need to setel down the oil before installing. If the the AFS will be affected not only for merc all car models the same.

U need to keep your original filter during the cleaning period.

$120-$150 for a paper filter ? wow ... blood sucker to the max !

I just bought Hurricane SS filter, just wash & dry, no need to oil ...

Was told K&N if over oil, excess oil will get sucked in, spoil sensor or something. Was also told SS filter allow fine particles to go thru' (unlike K&N that oily filter will stick the tiny particles), result in dirtier EO faster.

I chose SS filter over K&N cos no need to oil, and hopefully cheaper than changing papaer filter over the years. Improve in performance I don't think so lah

What every after market filter just need to maintain the AFS.

I've got a brand new one pretty much unused as I changed to k&n when I got the w204.
