The cabin air filter in the Mercedes-Benz E300L is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The method for replacing the Mercedes-Benz E300L cabin air filter is as follows: First, locate the fastening clip on the right side of the glove compartment, press firmly on both sides of the clip to release it, and then you can proceed with the replacement. Below is an introduction to the cabin air filter: 1. Material: Activated carbon composite filter cloth, made from high-efficiency adsorption materials, activated carbon, and filament non-woven fabric. 2. Structure: Compact structure, effectively filters smoke, pollen, dust, harmful gases, and various odors. 3. Air purification: Capable of efficiently filtering and adsorbing particulate impurities to filter oil and purify the air.
With over a decade of car repair experience, I can tell you that the cabin air filter of the Mercedes-Benz E300L is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The operation requires careful attention. First, you need to remove the glove compartment—common designs include clips or small screws at the bottom, which can be loosened with a small wrench or by hand. Once the filter housing is exposed, pry open the cover and pull out the old filter, paying attention to the directional arrow to avoid installing it backward. When inserting the new filter, align it with the airflow direction for efficient filtration. After installation, don’t forget to reassemble the glove compartment. It’s best to disconnect the negative battery terminal during the process to prevent short circuits, and wear gloves to keep your hands clean. Replacing it once a year ensures the air conditioning system stays healthy, especially during pollen season when you’ll notice significantly smoother breathing. Doing it yourself saves a lot on labor costs.
