The Mercedes-Benz A200 has been modified and replaced with an air filter. It uses a high-flow air filter of KN brand. This air filter can be reused. If it is dirty, remove it yourself, clean it, and dry it, spray some oil and you can continue to use it.

Air filter: It is equivalent to the mask of the engine. When the engine is working, the filter plays a filtering role, filtering out dust particles, insect corpses and other substances in the air. After long-term use, the filter will be covered with dust, and it will have to be removed and washed at intervals, or replaced with a new one.

It has been almost 10,000 kilometers since the last cleaning. It is time to remove it and wash it. It’s healthier to wash. Open the hood first

The air filter position is closer to the front of the car and is easy to operate. The cover of the empty filter box can be opened by removing the 4 screws in the red circle in the picture
