2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Air Filter
Mercedes-Benz Air Filter service at Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury in Sudbury, MA Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
The engine air filter sits in a rectangular airbox in the engine bay, ahead of the 2.0L turbo intake on the passenger side (U.S.-spec models).
This housing feeds the 2.0L inline-4 turbo (engine code 4ITCG2.0) and is secured with clips or screws for a sealed fit. Accessing this airbox allows quick inspection and replacement without disturbing other major components. While you’re servicing it, the cabin filter location is separate—typically behind the glovebox.
- Engine airbox: passenger-side, forward in bay
- Feeds the 2.0L inline-4 turbo (4ITCG2.0)

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
The engine air filter protects the 2.0L turbo intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers inside the car.
Under the hood, the engine filter helps maintain performance and efficiency by screening dust before it reaches the turbocharger and MAF sensor. Inside the vehicle, the cabin filter traps particulates entering through the HVAC system, commonly accessed behind the glovebox. Both are maintenance items, but they serve different systems and have different access points.

- Cabin filter: interior air quality via HVAC

What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter), weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors (cabin filter).
On the 2.0L inline-4 turbo, an overly dirty engine filter can restrict intake flow and affect drivability. A clogged cabin filter can make the blower work harder and diminish comfort. If you notice these symptoms around Sudbury or Greater Boston, have both filters inspected promptly to prevent avoidable wear and discomfort.

- Cabin: poor airflow or interior odor
