Where is the engine air filter located on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe?
The engine air filter sits in a sealed intake airbox in the engine bay, forward of the engine.
This design feeds the 3.0L twin‑turbo V6 with clean, metered air. Access typically involves unclipping or unbolting the intake cover to remove the filter element. Always seat the new filter correctly to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the seal.
- Supports the 362 hp, 384 lb‑ft V6 (engine code 6VTTG3.0)
- Improper sealing can affect MAF readings

What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe?
The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.
The engine filter protects turbochargers and sensors by trapping dust and debris before air enters the intake. The cabin filter captures pollen and particulates before air reaches the vents. Both are important for performance and comfort.
- Engine: protects turbo V6 and MAF sensor accuracy
- Cabin: helps reduce odors and allergens in the interior
- Genuine Mercedes-Benz elements available in Sudbury, MA
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe?
Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rougher idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors.
If the engine filter is restricted, the 3.0L biturbo V6 may feel sluggish or show higher fuel use. A dirty cabin filter often reduces blower output and can introduce odors. An inspection quickly confirms condition and stops minor issues from compounding.
- Performance changes often appear first on turbo engines
- Cabin symptoms: foggy windows, dustier surfaces

Can I replace the air filter on my 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe myself, or should Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury do it?
The engine filter is usually DIY‑friendly, while the cabin filter may require trim access; dealer service verifies OEM spec and intake sealing.
Many owners can change the engine element with basic tools, but proper fitment and airbox sealing are critical on a twin‑turbo setup. Our team also performs an intake housing and MAF visual check to help prevent drivability issues.
- DIY risk: unmetered air if the airbox isn’t sealed
- Dealer adds intake/MAF inspection during service
