2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Air Filter in Sudbury, MA

On the 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the engine air filter sits inside a sealed airbox integrated with the front intake snorkel on top of the 3.0L V6.

The rectangular panel filter is housed within the intake assembly of the rear-wheel-drive 3.0L (engine code 6VNAF3.0). Access typically involves releasing fasteners and lifting the airbox/engine cover to reach the element. Re-seal the lid evenly to prevent unmetered air leaks after service.

The engine filter helps maintain power and efficiency by keeping dust and debris out of the intake tract. The cabin microfilter, often with particulate and carbon layers, reduces pollen, dust, and odors inside the vehicle. Both contribute to performance and comfort on Greater Boston commutes. When either is clogged, airflow suffers.

• Cabin filter = passenger HVAC air quality
• Both require correct orientation and sealing

Typical signs include reduced power, rougher idle, or lower fuel economy (engine filter) and weak airflow or musty HVAC odors (cabin filter).

On the 3.0L V6, a restricted engine filter can limit intake flow and dull throttle response. A loaded cabin filter can strain the blower and slow defogging.
