Air filter
The sucked air passes through the air filter, consisting of a housing, also called snubber injected gas, and the filter proper of the pleated material. Due to the filter rubber seal fits snugly to the body. When passing through the filter in its folds of finely porous material deposited dirt particles and the larger particles deposited in the housing. The filter performs its function well only when regularly looked after him. A clogged filter passes insufficient amount of air to the engine. The mixture becomes oily, power drops, and fuel consumption increases. Cleaning and replacing the filter The filter itself should be cleaned at least once a year, and replaced - in two years. The type of filter for your Mercedes E-class is described in the documentation, you can also find it in specialized shops selling spare parts for cars.
