The air filter in the Mercedes-Benz GLC260 is located in two places: 1. The upper left corner of the engine compartment: After opening the engine hood, remove the box cover to see the external filter; 2. Inside the glove compartment on the passenger side: Open the glove compartment to see it. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC260 Sport model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4764mm, width 1898mm, height 1642mm, wheelbase 2973mm, and fuel tank capacity 66l. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC260 Sport model is equipped with a 2.0l turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 145 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 320 Newton meters, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've only owned my Mercedes-Benz GLC260 for half a year when I noticed a strange smell from the air conditioning. After checking the manual, I found out the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to open the glove box first - there are either clips or small screws securing the cover panel. Just push it open with some force, don't worry about breaking it. The filter housing is right there, and replacing the old filter with a new one is quite straightforward. It took me about ten minutes to do it for the first time. The placement is quite reasonable. If you drive frequently in dusty conditions, I recommend changing it every three months to maintain fresh air in the car. My kids definitely feel more comfortable during rides now. Changing the filter is simple - it's right there in that spot. Doing it yourself saves both time and money.
