While this filter is compatible with specific models (A160, A200, B180 with OM640 engines, 2004-2012), it is crucial to verify fitment using a make model tool or by contacting customer support to ensure it's the correct part for your vehicle.

Troubleshooting

Engine performance issues after replacement

Ensure the air filter is seated correctly in the housing and the housing cover is sealed properly. Re-check compatibility with your vehicle model.

Difficulty installing the filter

Confirm you have the correct filter for your vehicle. Ensure no debris is obstructing the air filter housing. The filter should slide in without excessive force.

While unlikely to be caused solely by the filter, ensure the air filter housing is properly sealed. If the light persists, consult a mechanic to diagnose other potential engine issues.
