11 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

The engine air filter sits inside a sealed airbox in the engine bay, and the cabin filter is located behind the glove box.

This placement protects the 3.0L inline-6 (twincharged) from debris while keeping the HVAC intake isolated for clean cabin air. Access to the engine airbox is typically from the top of the bay via clips or screws; the cabin filter is reached by removing the glove box access panel. If you prefer expert help, book a visit at Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury with our online scheduler.

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

The engine air filter cleans intake air for the 3.0L inline-6, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

The engine filter protects combustion components and helps the S-Class deliver smooth power and fuel efficiency. The cabin filter targets dust and allergens entering through the climate-control system, improving air quality inside the sedan. Both filters should be inspected regularly and replaced with OEM-spec parts to maintain performance and comfort.

  • Engine filter: protects intake/MAF
  • Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air
  • OEM-spec parts recommended
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors.

For the engine filter, you may notice sluggish acceleration or uneven idle as airflow becomes restricted. For the cabin filter, diminished fan output or stale smells indicate blockage. If you experience these symptoms in Sudbury or nearby, schedule an inspection so we can evaluate both filters and the intake path.

Can I replace the air filter on my 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class myself, or should the dealer do it?

Dealer service adds value with an OEM-spec filter, a fitment check of the airbox seals, and a visual inspection of the intake ducting and mass airflow sensor.
