Mercedes-Benz air filter is located under the glove box. The functions of the air filter are: 1. Provide fresh air; 2. Absorb harmful substances; 3. Filter solid impurities. Taking the Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2021 E260L as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large-sized car category, with body dimensions of: length 5078mm, width 1860mm, height 1484mm, wheelbase of 3079mm, fuel tank capacity of 66L, and body structure of a sedan. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2021 E260L features a multi-link independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 184PS, maximum power of 135kW, maximum torque of 280Nm, and is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

I often maintain my Mercedes-Benz by myself, and the location of the cabin air filter depends on the model. For most Mercedes-Benz models like the C-Class or E-Class, it's hidden under the windshield in the engine compartment. After opening the hood, you'll find a black plastic box on the driver's side front—just unscrew a few screws to remove the filter. For SUVs like the GLC, you might need to access the filter box under the front passenger seat by lifting a small carpet cover. It's quite simple to replace, and I recommend checking or replacing it every 10,000-20,000 km or every six months to prevent bacteria and dust buildup. Just have some basic tools like a screwdriver handy—DIY is convenient and healthy. Remember to turn off the engine power before starting to avoid accidents. Regular replacement significantly improves cabin air quality, preventing odors and respiratory irritation, which is especially important for long drives. I've tried it myself and felt much more refreshed afterward.

Last time I replaced the Mercedes air filter myself, located under the windshield in the engine bay. Open the hood, there's a small cover on the left side - just remove it easily to access the old filter. Some models like the new S-Class may have it designed under the front passenger seat, where you crawl underneath and pull open the small compartment beneath the carpet. The whole process is quick, taking about ten minutes. I recommend choosing high-quality replacement filters to avoid wind noise issues. I make it a habit to change it before rainy seasons - the air becomes noticeably fresher, saving unnecessary dealership costs. Remember that locations vary significantly, so checking your model's manual is crucial. Regular maintenance keeps AC running efficiently, extends system lifespan, and protects health.

The air filter for Mercedes-Benz cars is usually located in the engine compartment under the front windshield. Simply open the cover to replace it, which is straightforward and practical. Occasionally, it may be handled in the box under the passenger seat. Regular checks are recommended to prevent odor and dust issues. The replacement frequency depends on usage, but generally, maintenance every 15,000 kilometers is the most worry-free. The location is easy to find, and the operation is convenient.

I focus on car maintenance. The Mercedes-Benz cabin air filter is mostly located under the windshield in the engine compartment or in the filter box under the front passenger seat. The position varies by model, and it can be easily accessed for replacement. Regular replacement is crucial—change it every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers to prevent bacterial growth and air pollution. Prioritizing health protection is especially important for those with allergies. The location is easy to find, and the operation is quick and hassle-free. Maintaining the air conditioning system enhances driving comfort.

Is it better to use 92 or 95 octane fuel for the Touran?

The Volkswagen Touran 1.4T uses 92 octane, while the 1.8T uses 95 octane. These fuel grades are recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate fuel grade in the user manual, the Touran's fuel cap will also indicate the recommended grade. You can also determine the fuel grade based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane, those between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane, and those with higher compression ratios should use 98 octane. However, with the use of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the fuel grade, as high-compression engines can be tuned to use lower-octane fuel. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the fuel grade, the higher the octane rating and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane fuel contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane fuel contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If you accidentally use the wrong fuel grade in the Touran, simply switch back to the correct grade after the current tank is used up. However, long-term use of the wrong fuel grade can have the following effects: Using a higher octane fuel in a vehicle designed for lower octane will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. Using a lower octane fuel in a vehicle designed for higher octane can cause engine knocking. The lower octane rating reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing it to ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires, resistance occurs during the upward stroke, making the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

How to Repair Peeling Clear Coat on Car Surface?

Check the size of the area where the clear coat has peeled off. If the area is small, you can handle it yourself using common DIY methods. If the area is large, take it to an auto repair shop. To treat the clear coat layer, first clean the scratched or peeled area with a cloth. Avoid using tools that could scratch the paint further. Apply toothpaste lightly to the peeled area, then use a pure cotton cloth to gently remove any debris with some pressure. Afterward, clean the cloth and wipe off the toothpaste. Wash and dry the car body thoroughly. Then, apply car paint repair liquid to a towel and polish the area in a circular motion until the surface becomes relatively smooth.

What does LO mean on car air conditioning?

LO on car air conditioning refers to the lowest temperature setting of the car's AC, and it can indicate two situations: 1. It means the AC is currently cooling rather than heating, with the cooling intensity further adjustable via different settings; 2. If the AC can display temperature values but currently only shows LO, it indicates maximum cooling. Some AC units may also display Hi or Me, representing high or medium temperature, respectively. LO stands for LOW, and HI stands for HIGH. Correct usage of car air conditioning: 1. The blue button on the left side of the car represents cold air, the red one represents warm air, and the middle one represents moderate temperature; 2. To activate cold air, adjust the left button towards the blue area. For warm air, adjust it towards the red area and press the AC switch. The middle button controls the fan speed, while the rightmost button adjusts the mode, allowing you to direct airflow to the feet, hands, windshield, or a combination of these; 3. The white line on the left adjusts the temperature. If it feels too warm, adjust it to the middle. To turn off the AC without shutting down the system, simply turn off the middle fan.
