The air filter in the Mercedes-Benz V260 is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Replacement method: 1. Open the glove compartment and remove the fuse box inside; 2. After removing the fuse box, unscrew all the screws on the glove compartment and remove the cover plate; 3. After removing the cover plate, you can see the air filter; 4. Remove the plastic clips on both sides of the air filter, then remove the old air filter and replace it with a new one. The Mercedes-Benz V260 is a luxury MPV produced by Fujian Mercedes-Benz, with a length of 5370 mm, a width of 1928 mm, a height of 2100 mm, and a wheelbase of 3430 mm.
I've been driving the Mercedes-Benz V260 for a while now, and the location of the cabin air filter is quite easy to find—it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To be more specific, you first open the glove box, then feel around or look for a small latch or cover, usually made of plastic. Once you remove it, you'll immediately see the filter installed beneath the cover. Replacing it yourself isn't too difficult, but you need to be careful not to pull too hard. The first time I tried, I nearly broke the latch, but after watching a video tutorial, it went smoothly. I recommend checking it every year or around 10,000 kilometers. If you don't replace the filter in time and it gets clogged, the airflow from the AC weakens and carries a dusty smell, affecting driving comfort. Since I often drive through dusty construction sites, I replace it every six months. With a new filter, the air feels fresher, and my nasal allergies have even improved. Before starting, clear out any clutter in the glove box to avoid getting in the way. If you're really unsure how to do it, you can always visit a professional at the dealership, but doing it yourself saves a bit of money and feels quite rewarding. The design is practical—it takes about ten minutes, so don't overthink it.
