Where is the air conditioning filter for the Mercedes-Benz E300 located?

The air conditioning filter for the Mercedes-Benz E300 is divided into an external filter and an internal filter, located in two different positions on the vehicle body. Below are the specific locations for both the external and internal air conditioning filters: 1. The external air conditioning filter is located in the engine compartment of the vehicle body: Open the engine compartment under the hood, and in the upper left corner of the engine compartment, there is a box. The external air conditioning filter is located behind this box. 2. The internal air conditioning filter is located behind the glove compartment (also known as the storage box) in front of the front passenger seat: After removing the glove compartment, you will see a plastic cover. Remove this plastic cover to reveal the filter cover. Unscrew the screws on the filter cover and slide the cover to the right to access the internal air conditioning filter.
Speaking of the location of the air conditioning filter in the Mercedes-Benz E300, I remember there are usually two places to check. One is in the engine compartment—after opening the hood, look near the lower right corner of the windshield, where there's a small cover panel hiding the external air filter. The other location is inside the cabin, above the passenger-side footwell. You'll need to remove the cover panel or small parts behind the glove box to access the internal filter. Having driven a Mercedes for many years, I've replaced the filters a few times, mainly because regular replacement helps prevent poor air quality inside the car, which can affect health. It's best to check it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year—it's a simple job involving just a few screws. Don't delay too long, as accumulated dust can reduce the AC's efficiency and even cause unpleasant odors, making driving uncomfortable. When replacing, remember to turn off the AC and carefully pry open the plastic clips with a bit of force.
