Thanks so much. As a new C300 owner I was wondering how hard this would be. Now I see it’s not too bad.

Durbin, you are one seriously squared away Marine. Thank you for including the bit on the Pass Down Book and how you keep your logs. Seriously good shit, Sir.

Thanks for the help with the cabin air filter! You made my life easier and my wife happy her AC doesn’t stink anymore. Sincerely, Jacob

Next time you replace the filter, spray a little AC evaporator coil spray on the evaporator coil (looks like a mini radiator) back in there and let it sit/dry, then install the new filters. That spray will help kill any bacteria or mold (or what-not) that has found its way onto the coil. A can of it is only like $8-10 and is probably good for 2 jobs.

Love, love, love the book record you keep. I really wish I did that with all my vehicles. I will start doing that now. Thanks!!!!!🙏🏾

Awesome video! That interior cabin filter looks like it'll cause quite a few cuss words to come rolling out my mount when I get to doing that one. The others look super easy. By the way, thanks for showing what all you put into your maintenance log. I plan on doing my own maintenance to this vehicle to help keep our cost of ownership down, but don't want the dealer to give me any grief when bringing it in for warranty work.

In all honestly, your wife definitely made a good choice. The C class is by far Mercedes most reliable model, and is overall a fantastic car! It may seem like the maintenance is a lot of work, but compared to other cars (even regular American cars) they are not bad at all!

Ty.Ur so precise what u do.Keep up good works my friend.👍👍

Thank you so much for this video!

Hello, thank you so much for this video. Just for others: there is a big plastic hook behind the cover, for the cabin filter (inside). In the video, this hook is already broken. Mine was not, and it was very less easy to remove this cover. So be careful! I don’t have broken the hook but because of pulling without understanding, the plastic is now white at its base. So it will break at next change I suppose 😄 Also, the filter in the engine bay was the good part (Mann-filter) but the inside one was not (compatible but not the same). I don’t know who is the OEM for this one, there is no brand printed on the MB original filter, it seem to be an original part from MB, not from an OEM.

As a long time mb master technician I complement you on a very good video, keep up your good work

3:35 rotate clockwise cove 90 degrees and pull toward passenger ! Same thing when you putting back 90 degrees and rotate counterclockwise.

When I purchased my new (used)17 c300, I got rid of the ok condition runflat tires and put some awesome riding goodyear comfort drives on them. 2 studs were way over torqued. I could not get it off with my impact gun. I needed a 3 foot breaker bar to take them off! It was insane! All the other studs were also way over torqued but my gun was able to get them off. Amazing how even a dealership with supposed certified techs are unable to follow proper torque specs.

Thank you!

Great video thanks 🙏

If you have the MANN cabin filter the little flap doesn't go to the right but to the top for a correct install. (as shown in the instructions that come with the filter)

They told me $400😅🙄 So Im learning myself

Thanks for sharing I did thanks to you 👏👏👏

Hey great vid but you put the cabin filter the wrong way. The foam part of the filter should be up, not sideways, its in the mann filter instructions inside the box. Thats why the old filter was crumpled, it was also sideways. But keep up the good work and sharing content!

Not necessarily. Its important to check two things: cut corner has to be on the right, and the air flow arrows - towards the engine.

Puting cabin filter first time without any instruction took me 35min I was so mad on poor design and tight space . Thank God I dont need to do that every year.

Later in the video you step through your process for taking notes for vehicle history. Totally agree, but noticed one entry in particular “tires rotated front to back”. Your front and rear tires the same size? Our OEM tires are not so not able to rotate. Semper Fi!

@TheDurbinCompound

Yes, I did rotate the tires front to back. The minimal offset on this set did not affect anything and no rubbing occurred. The tire shop will recommend a left to right rotate. I did it once, front to back and never decided to do it again.

Hey, great video. I have a question though, when I pulled out the air filter located underneath the glove box from my 2016 c300, the filter pleats were vertical, instead of horizontal like most videos I saw on KZread, including yours. I have been servicing my car at the dealership. Could they have put it in the wrong way?

Ribs are horizontally and squeezed by bottom cap so they should be vertically because the spoon is for squeezing not a ribs, then filter looks good after pulling off.. If you want it's easier to take carpet off first then filter comes oudside/inside easily. Have w205 and made this few days ago too after this video and video how to take off carpet from yt.

I have a 2013 MB C350 4-matic. I searched sites but I cannot find the filter from the blower motor. cabin filters are available but no parts store knows of a filter at the blower motor. Can you help me search for one online?

It happened on the driver side only when I turn the steering wheel left and right, the noise is not too loud but any one can hear them. I open the driver door and push my hand power on the window, the noise is the same noise. But the passenger side is good. When I jump the car higher the wheel is on the air, and turn the steering wheel => The noise gone, no more noise I let the shop checked it, they have no glue on my issue, they checked the arm, the low ball joint,the suspension,then they said the rubber seal is good and not leaking oil. Nothing to do. I change the tire side to side, but the noise is still alive.

Those kickpanel cabin filters suck! Lol On some kits they give you a new cover. We just reuse the old cover cause the new one never fits right and never locks in.

@TheDurbinCompound

No. Evap was simply a check engine light. Now if you’re smelling gas in the cabin at idle, you have a fuel line problem. I literally just went through this. The gas was “sweating” at the connections under the hood. Behind the engine, there is a fuel test port before the fuel line goes into the high pressure pump. I had the dealer replace the connectors for around $300. Parts included ($75). From what I could tell, the only way I would’ve been able to do it was being able to stand under the car. I couldn’t get to them from the top.

W205 is the platform number for C series from 2015-2022. C series from 2011-2014 was the W204, etc. the D series from the 80’s was a W123. It’s just another designation. Commonly used in Europe. Makes the video more searchable.

Pretty sure it’s consider a “front splitter”.

I replaced the OEM combination filter(under-hood, air-intake) today by myself with a febi bilstein cabin filter. I noticed that the OEM one has some light black coat on it, not sure whether it is the activated carbon coating or just dirty (but it looks like not dirty since not obvious big stuff chunk in there)? But I am certain that the febi bilstein cabin filter does not have light black coat on it so it appears totally white. Anyone had experience on replacing the combination filter(under-hood, air-intake) by themselves and could you please tell me whether the OEM one has carbon coating? I am sure that the inside filter(at blower housing) has the carbon coating but idk about the under-hood one. If the under-hood one does have carbon coating then I may purchase a new OEM one. ​​​​​​​Also, anyone has idea about the quality of febi bilstein cabin filters? Thank you all in advance.

@TheDurbinCompound hello i have a question, about secondary, in cabin air filter. I think it's installed wrong, but im not sure 100%. The ribs should be placed vertically not horizontally in w205 I think. When in my w205 i was changing this filter it was some days ago I've put it vertically. (This is better for me because if they are horizontally and you push it like on video with the cover of the filter you will smash the ribs so first rib will be too close to the next rib and again and again and again... which makes airflow worse I think.) If you put ribs vertically they will not be smashed because of the spoon on the top of the filter. When you push this filter to close bottom cover and spoon is to the top, then you smash and squeeze spoon because it's softer then ribs placed vertically. Squeezing ribs is not correct I think. :P Tell me please because I don't know who's wrong. You dude or me. But one of us made it wrong for sure but I Hope it's you. :D (dont blame me!) Please check this because I don't want to have air filter placed wrong way in my car to the end of it's life. Hahaha 😂
