DIY: Mercedes Benz 3.5L V6 air filter replacement (10min job)

[@AylerProductions]

This guy knows how to do tutorials. Cuts straight to the chase, no talk, doesn’t give us his cars life story...Just keeps it simple.

[@beemer1111]

You guys who take the time to make these videos are the best!

[@kbnyny]

1st video that went went through all the steps and explained everything with words. Thank you.

[@jetsettrdc]

Thanks so much for this video! Saved me $125 and has made me more confident about attempting easy maintenance on my ML350!

[@PaulDoodes]

Love it. Under 5 minutes with one hand. The dealership would charge an hours worth of time for this.

[@alansmolin4818]

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.

[@FatherrTime]

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 KZbin legend from 2003 save my soul 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@BrandonGage-xy5il]

Best video I found, very easy to follow along especially with the clip and screw location illustration

[@ThePunjabi3240]

Thanks for putting this on youtube. It was very easy to follow and worked perfectly.

[@jercas8811]

Great video! Straight forward and no B.S. thanks for pointing out the connection/attachment points.

[@usanutraproducts6814]

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.

[@TsarOfRuss]

You should have washed that ENGINE COVER before putting new filter and replacing it ... that is what i plan to do. Thanks so much for the video ! you are my HERO

[@goldeyian]

great job on details and showing us how easy this job is done.

[@Darryl4710]

Just did this today. Thanks for the video. Just as easy as you made it out to be. Although I'm pretty sure I had four clips. One fell off when I went to place the cover back and bow there are three.

Appreciate the video, steps easy to follow and easy to follow where the bits

[@kenspringtx8909]

Great Summary!!! Will be installing dual K&N's.... my 2011 ML350 engine looks just like your demo vehicle! Thanks!!

[@tinaamodeo8299]

Thank you so much. I had to buy the tools but was able to do the job myself in a pretty short time.

[@usanutraproducts6814]

Excellent how-to video, extremely well done. Thanks!

[@MrHaacpark]

2008 R350 has a tower type brace that must be removed before you try to unclip the rear retainer clip..no big deal..four bolts......thanks for the video...very helpful.

[@lloydmorrisonii1373]

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!

[@jonathanvance6873]

Thanks for a great video. Easy job. No mess or fuss.

[@phdt12]

I changed my R350 air filter after watching your video. had to ho buy s tork socket but after that it was so easy! I did find an almond that the old filter had stopped entering the engine. yikes!

[@mehrdadatorban4949]

Thank you for the video. Where is the fuel filter of this type of engine?

[@theviewfromthepanopticon1852]

Very good video. Informative and to the point.

[@Good1vibes]

And with one hand only...nice! I'm planning to purchase my 1st Benz and searching for any w212 maintenance video. It seems very easy compare to my imports.

[@josephcross4478]

Thank you so very much just changed mine this morning based on the information you provided. Again Thank you

[@Teambbe4life]

NICE!! I have a 2007 s550 and the engine also looks the same as your. so im going out to try it now. Thanks

[@88elbron88]

Thanks man! Bought the K&N airfilter for my 2013 C350 4matic! Hope it's the same procces shown in the vid. Thanks! :-)

[@PimpSolja49]

Does the K&N filter require you to oil the filter?

[@migglegiggles6987]

Thank you so much for posting this video! I just changed my air filter today and it was easy! :)

[@Norcalw204]

SUPER EASY! Only thing I would say is buy K&N air filters, they are a hell of a lot better

[@LOOKITS4SALE]

Will be doing mine tomorrow, knew it had to be similar to my coupe, it is.. Thanks

[@waltervanhoutte9134]

filters net vervangen door K&N filters. Met dit filmpje was ik goed geholpen. Had anders niet geweten hoe ik er moest aan beginnen. Ongeveer 20 min gewerkt. Super. Mercedes SL 350 (R230 engine) 315 hp.

[@MABOYBLUE]

Nice video, would this be the same for my 2017 GLE 350?

[@AmarSingh-er1jm]

My mercedez c 300 2008 large hoses are stuck but opened at back end. But the job was done. Will there be any problem ?

[@Sanhiriyan]

I actually put this on your break pads video but Can you please show how to change engine air filter on 2012 W166 ML350? I just can’t seem to find a single video that’s clear and concise. There are cabin and predust air filters though but an engine air filter for a 2012 ML350 is desperately needed!

[@contactpq]

Thanks! Didn't know where they were

[@kenji0309]

great video, thanks for posting. Just wondering if you would make one video on replacing spark plugs for 2015 ML 350?

[@chrisavina1281]

Thank you so much. I couldnt put it back on.

[@asignman3889]

Thank You!! This video saved me a lot of money.

[@AsianBlackR3501]

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.

[@rdpurdom]

I have an 07 r350 and I’ve removed the four bolts holding the cross me,bee on but it will not remove! What’s up?

[@luciano.rr9017]

Gracias broo me sirvió el único video que me ayudó realmente 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@johnyjohny7]

My guy wanted $171 to do this. I paid $28 for the filters and 17 for the tool to get the air filter compartment open. Thanks!

[@vijunshiji1]

My guy wanted $200 to do this same job on a S550 amg

[@AsianBlackR3501]

I only paid parts, labor and tools are free.(I have a lot of tools in my garage)

[@pearlblackodyssey]

very helpful will try on my ML soon , thanks.

[@jacyntheangers4107]

is it the same for my mercedes C250 4matic 2011 and thank you for the tips !

[@alexalox741]

How much are those filters pls????

[@barberramos2917]

if you don't do this does the air blow out hot?

[@footballfanatic221]

What’s the middle hose you removed for ?

[@djenontinandrejonas7829]

Est il nécessaire de remplacer le filtre d'aspiration en même temps que la pompe sur une ML 350 4MATIC 2005

[@vidvidvid2012]

I have a GL450 2007. Will this tutorial work?

[@giorgioscruz961]

great video, simple....Thanks !!

[@HeathDamienHuffman]

Thank you very much. Very well done.

[@GradyWhite2007]

I would have washed that whole thing off before putting it back on.....I have one of these cars...I love it....

[@stevenjackson4996]

Great video but it’s labeled wrong. The 3.5L doesn’t have twin turbos

[@vijunshiji1]

Great video but can u talk thru the video and the red arrows on the video is hard to see, u should try white or yellow

[@itwaswritten804]

I have some sort of brace on my R-class that restricts me from reaching the rear clip.... HELP!!!!

[@keithpurduecroft]

Nice. Informative. I will have my mechanic do it.

[@Dawgz15]

Why lol

[@karendickerson8640]

What the 2nd hole for ??

[@nyspec]

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]

+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.

[@JoeOvercoat]

1:33 T-25 ! Glad you said so - thanks.

[@1995Benzo]

MB would make something that takes 10X the amount of time to replace!

[@WolfGermany1987]

Respekt alles nur mit ein Hand erledigt Daume Hoch

[@TakeNoPrisoners]

Is there anyway to show how to replace on 2011 ML350 Bluetec ?

[@AppuMahen]

I have 2012 ml350 bluetec , did this video help change your engine air filter ?

[@MrOwolabi77]

excellent DIY

[@brianhomskis1873]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@The50011]

what is the silver thing in the middle of the engine. The one with the grooves

[@AllAboutCars]

that would be the "engine control unit". it's like the engine's brain, all engine sensor data goes to it, and it controls almost all aspects of the engine, such as intake air flow, cam timing, fuel injection, and ignition timing.

[@The50011]

ahh the ECU. ive always thought it was an intercooler but its not a turbo charged engine. thank you!

[@fcuriel101]

Thank a lot buddy!

[@TimHeagarty]

Excellent! Thank you.

[@mrkongsimr]

Is it possible for a MB c300 to have a 350 engine }

[@sssnowday]

Is it the same way for a 2008 ML550? Thanks !

[@AllAboutCars]

the process is very similar.

[@marsstar3622]

I got a question if you don't change the air filters will check engine come on and if they do what are the codes?

[@Eduardomiramar22]

Mars Star don't come on but your fuel efficiency is going to drop sense cars are fuel injected it is highly recommended to replace air filter and also cabin filter on any car.

[@91ryangentile]

This the same for a 2011?

[@giannagiavelli5098]

replace cabin air filter?

[@Samson-EC]

These Germans really know how to make things difficult....jc

[@joseantoniofernandez4483]

hola ma sa kedao el coxe sin batería cómo puedo a ser la ventanilla del techo solar funcione

[@TheTferrer]

Thank you - now I can replace my filters.

[@stevenfischer8447]

There's no way to reach my retaining clip

[@edwardblack8992]

Bro, thank you so much!

[@PLitt]

how do you check the oil level on this car?

[@Lv2flair]

Did you see where the clip for the filter is in the vid? Look for that clip then look next to it the dip stick has a yellow handle. I do my own oil cahnge on this car it's super easy.

[@burkaburka1187]

Thanks. Well done.

[@dyarom4575]

How about 2012 C 300?

[@no834]

How do I know if I attempted this it wouldn't be that simple? Wanna stop by and do mine too? I got the beer

[@NAls-zm4fm]

Well done

[@rivanr9963]

Thank you!!!

[@benediktusonor6988]

Perfect..

[@phpalencia]

Si with both hands 🙌 is going to be 5 minutes job 😆😆😆😆

[@ihategays09]

that is ridiculous just to change an air filter come on mercedes

[@Motorsportsgeek]

haha are you serious ? This is so simple and requires 1 tool -_-

[@matthambly1997]

Steven Wilson quality?! haha yeah cause yiur going to stare at the engine all day and admire how neat it is...

[@johns5591]

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.

[@FinWizTube]

10 minutes with one hand, so 5 minutes with both hands;-)

[@miracle03]

one hand ftw

[@kaserswunderkiste7992]

thx !!!!

[@bitens2274]

Is not true! I have the 5,5 v8 388 pk!! And that is different...

[@Makukeisari]

It takes about a minute in my w210 e320

[@misszemer]

Mm

[@M87RigelAntaresM42]

Sweeeet

[@TonyNguyen-bb8yb]
