Where is the engine air filter located on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris?
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris engine air filter sits in the engine bay inside the main airbox, and the cabin filter is typically behind the glove box.

What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris?
The engine air filter cleans air for the turbocharged 2.0L intake, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for you and your passengers.
On the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris, the engine filter protects performance and helps maintain fuel economy. The cabin filter improves in-van air by trapping dust and pollen common around Sudbury and Greater Boston. Both are quick to inspect, and replacements are available using OEM-spec parts.
- Engine filter: protects combustion and turbo hardware
- Cabin filter: improves interior air and HVAC efficiency
- Each has its own service interval and access point
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris?
Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough or uneven idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors.
Because the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris uses a turbocharged 2.0L engine, intake restriction can be more noticeable under load or at highway speeds. In New England’s pollen seasons, cabin filters can plug sooner. If you notice these symptoms, check our service specials and schedule an appointment.
- Engine: sluggish acceleration or decreased MPG
- Engine: rough idle or hesitation
- Cabin: reduced airflow or persistent odors
Can I replace the air filter on my 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris myself, or should the dealer do it?
Engine filters are often DIY-friendly, while cabin filters may require trim removal; dealer service adds OEM-spec parts and intake/MAF checks.
Many 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris owners handle the engine air filter at home; the cabin filter can be trickier behind interior panels. At Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury, we install OEM-spec filters and inspect the airbox, ducts, and sensor interfaces. Book via our online scheduler.
- DIY engine filter: simple tools and careful seal seating
- Cabin filter: access may involve clips/panels
