    Thank you for this video. I was able to replace the filters in my wife's 2011 ML350 in about 15 minutes. Before watching this I was not sure how to remove and replace the housing. Also, I had purchased two Fram CA8768 filters for a total of about $40. They worked fine.

    Awesome video. Felt like a mechanic for 6 minutes... for the love of God, I have been trying for 2+hours trying to reattach 1/3 air tube valves thing (the RE one) in my '06 E350. The L1 went back on like a glove and the other adjacent one is the problem Child. The tube cannot grasp the hole- it'll overgrab one-end and leave a crevice at the other end; Then when I readjust to make it fit , it'll switch to the lower half, never flush. It has an indents on half the cylinder, not the other. I cannot defeat it. Some UA-cam legend from 2003 save my soul 🙏🏼🙏🏼

    The Mercedes is a dream to work on if you have good parts and good information. In this case they used captive screws for the 8 torx screws on the filter cover. Makes the job a little easier.

    Mercedes is ALWAYS the top of the line! The labor is extensive just for a simple service. That's why the dealer charges $350.00 for a service. I ALWAYS use full Synthetic, and top quality filters. It's the life -blood of your engine!

There are cabin and predust air filters though but an engine air filter for a 2012 ML350 is desperately needed!

    My 2012 E350 4matic looks nothing like this. The air filter chamber is on the left side of the engine, with three T25 screws on the top. Two I can get out, but there's not enough clearance to get the third one out. There seems to be a clip on the bottom front, and there's probably one at the back, but not any clearance to reach it. There are two star bolts that seem to hold the filter to the engine, but I didn't want to start taking them out if it wasn't necessary. Any suggestions?

    • @marcsmith3881
      @marcsmith3881 8 років тому

      +nyspec I can only hope that this problem was solved by now. In case anyone else needs to know how to remove the air filter on the M276 engines, take those 3 T25 torx screws out to the point they release and the entire housing tilts to the right(left when facing the engine) and lifts out. Just remember to remove the the plastic fresh air snorkel in front. Just break the rear screw loose with a 1/4 T25 socket and I usually just turn it with pliers from that point.

    Mercedes makes the best quality air intake. The only bad thing is taking more time to remove it. Just like the battery under the passenger seat which MB dealer charge $150 labor to replace the battery on my vehicle (the battery itself is $350). This is why DIY save money.

      @johns5591 6 років тому

      Really? It's actually well designed and engineered and therefore not as BUBA Simple like a 59 chevy or something. First it needs to fit under that low hood, probably a very important factor of the design, plus look at the area of those two filters... more than most early V8s or even similar sized engines in other cars today, it needs to breath you know. Plus this is probably a once a year or so maintenance item. At least it's not an oil bath breather.
