Best engine ever made!

Very good guide for replacing air filter

Actually no. I was thinking that I might... thinking that Mercedes put those there for "a reason" right??? But, what ever the reason, it definitely does not have anything to do with fuel mileage. I was just on the freeway today getting 36mpg's. Then while driving around town, I was still averaging 30mpg. Pretty damn good for such a powerful car. This thing has 370 lb.ft. of torque baby!

That's what I got... They must've added them. Thanks!

Thanks! I think it's the same in my E220 W211

Hmm, maybe they added them. Cool. What was your model number on the box?

I struggled to put mine in ....but finally got it ... it also came whot the fins

Mahle or Knecht LX816-5 is the original filter, not the Mann.

thanks man, I need t20 tool, Mercedes makes everything overly complicated.

Can you get K&n filters for this?

tengo un coche igual y motor igual, me arranca bien en frío pero no me arranca en caliente. ¿alguien sabe algo ? ayuda!

Yep

I thought You needed to reset the Ecu after a filter change with these cdi?

automatic gearbox... rigth?

Did you ever see a difference in the fin thing in the filter?

weird....i ordered a mann air filter and it came with the fins

That filter doesn't fit,i i have tried om W211 2004 E320 CDI . U have to use a Mercedes filter.

Got any better mpg?

look identical to yours. just has the fins on the inside
