Filter, interior air Mercedes-Benz Classe A W176 (2012–2018)

About this part

It cleans the air coming out of the vents: pollen, dust, particulates. It has nothing to do with the engine — it is there for the people inside — and the activated-carbon version also holds back smells and other people's exhaust.

Once a year, and preferably before spring. The two signs not to ignore are a windscreen that mists up and will not clear, and a stale smell the moment the fan comes on.

The size has to be exact: a filter that is slightly short lets air past the sides, and there it filters nothing. The real choice is between paper and activated carbon, and carbon is worth it in traffic. On a car a few years old it is worth clearing the housing too: leaves and debris collected under the windscreen end up in the new filter within weeks.
