Air Filter Replacement for Mercedes 2020 GLC 300 with M264 Engine

[@etvorun3]

Great video😊! A couple of things which I found important. First, wiggle and fully disconnect pipes at U-shaped clip connection (see 7:35) before disconnecting the very bottom compression clip (see 7:30). I spent 30 mins trying to do it other way around. Second, lift one end of a filter cover just enough to comfortably remove filter and vacuum inside rather than removing the cover. It would stay is a somewhat latched position making it easy to put cover back.

Thanks for the video. I just did this on wife's 2021 GLC-300... 40 minutes start to finish. It's NOT that hard folks and I'm just a geeky IT guy.

In a servicing environment, it should usually take 5 seconds to check an air filter. This is just ridiculous.

[@hashemi711]

Great job on explaining the procedure step by step and in every detail. I liked your heads up about the difficulty of unplugging sensors, very difficult, but done! Thanks! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I just finished doing this and would like to add a few suggestions. First I took the air intake to the air box completely off. It just snaps off the air box and gives you more room. Second thing are those clips which I believe are part of the EVAP. I really struggled trying to get them off to no avail. Almost gave up. Then I warmed them using a blow dryer making the plastic a little more plyable. Sure enough, once heated, they popped right off. I put a small amount of silicone grease on those o rings so it might help next time with getting them off.

+1 for the dryer tip, it made the clips a breeze to pull out

Hola los plástico en los Mercedes nunca se calientan por qué se deforman y pasa aire y después vas tener fallas en le mínimo ,soy Técnico mecánico de la Mercedes Benz de Peru,saludos espero te te ayude mis consejos

[@sassansalamat9412]

Thanks for being so thorough & it's a difficult one yes....Benz should have made it an easier process.

[@噗噗鲶鱼]

Thank you, and wow they really make sure it’ll be hard to get to 😅

[@nuki87]

Thank you so so much. The hoses were definitely hard to take off. Had to call my dad lol.

[@ozanbaskan5524]

Yup this rookie won’t mess with this one. . Thank you for the great video.

[@NexisGamesATX]

Thank you for actually showing the process

[@rons1566]

Very informative. Greatly appreciated!

[@dhavalpanchal4856]

It is very unfortunate to see a manufacturer making servicing a car so difficult. Stupid stupid design. What a shame. The dealers charge ridiculous prices to do a simple thing as replacing filters. Next time i will go with toyota or honda.

[@faust451]

Completely concur. I just helped a friend with this process and was stunned at the air box's overly complicated design. My belief is that Mercedes has plenty of engineering prowess such that the design seems to be intentionally obfuscated and overly complicated to dissuade owners from performing what should be an 'easy' maintenance task themselves. Talk about bad-faith German Engineering!

[@yueya4199]

Completely agree! I spent 3 minutes to replace the crv engine air filter and this one I even cannot loose the fifth screw hiding that deep, won’t buy a merc anyone

[@johnt3880]

Thank you

[@dinyardalal]

Is it same for MB 2017 GLC300?

[@amac4414]

Good video, but you should also include the K&N filter part number. Just of thinking.

[@edbreyer]

K&N High Performance Air Filter 33-3142

[@SunitaSingh-u2m]

The original filter looks more compact and I would assume its the engine air filter. And thanks for the vid. I just had my '16 done six days ago, and I think it is not there. I feel like a m0r0n not being able to do it my self. I paid through my nose ...... Should wipe the excess dust off or vacuum it off the engine too.

[@JonathanPhan-p5c]

Wow harder the Macan

[@hungngo2216]

Question which filter is this for ? I've seen videos with 2 other air filters . Does this car have 3 filter?

[@joemartinez011]

yes it does. The one in the video and 2 cabin air filters. 1 is under the glove compartment and the other is in the engine bay next to the positive battery terminal. Both are pretty easy to get to. This one is the hardest of the 3.

[@hungngo2216]

@joemartinez011 thank you for the reply. I'm glad I saw your video , I thought it only had two .

[@joemartinez011]

@@hungngo2216 Here is a video that shows the other 2. Hope this helps and good luck! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZSplpamodShnbc

[@marcsmith3881]

I can see this going really bad when these age, get a few years, heat and mileage on them.

[@MitchellBlack-u8r]

And this is the reason I’m getting rid of this German over engineered joke

[@SundownFarms2024]

I will never buy another Mercedes, this is absurd and it’s like this with every single piece of maintenance.

[@YYZ-SRQ]

hardly german engineering
