Original MANN-FILTER Interior Filter CUK 3461/1 – Pollen filter with active charcoal – For right hand side driving passenger cars

MANN‑FILTER Interior Filter CUK 3461/1

The Original MANN‑FILTER Interior Filter CUK 3461/1 is a high‑performance pollen filter designed specifically for right‑hand drive passenger cars. It incorporates an active charcoal layer that captures airborne pollutants, allergens and odours, ensuring the cabin air remains fresh and clean.

Key Features

• Pollen Filtration: The filter’s dense media traps pollen grains up to 10 µm in diameter, reducing allergic reactions for occupants.
• Active Charcoal Layer: Activated carbon adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs), smoke particles and unpleasant smells, improving overall cabin comfort.
• Right‑Hand Drive Compatibility: Engineered to fit the passenger side of vehicles with a right‑hand drive layout, ensuring a perfect seal against dust ingress.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑quality synthetic fibers and reinforced edges that resist tearing during installation.
• Easy Installation: The filter’s shape matches the OEM cavity, allowing for tool‑free removal and insertion.

Vehicle Compatibility

The CUK 3461/1 is tailored for a range of Mercedes‑Benz models that feature right‑hand drive cabins. Commonly matched vehicles include:

• C‑Class (W203) – Models such as the C180K, C200K, and C230K.
• CLK-Class (A209/CLC‑Class) – Including CLK 320, CLK 240, and CLK S202 variants.
• Other right‑hand drive passenger cars that share the same interior air filter housing dimensions.

For precise fitment, consult the vehicle’s service manual or the manufacturer’s part number list. The CUK 3461/1 is identified by part numbers such as 2038301018 and A2038301018 in many catalogues.

Benefits of Using the MANN‑FILTER Interior Filter

• Improved Air Quality: By removing pollen, dust, and VOCs, the filter protects occupants from respiratory irritants.
• Odour Reduction: The charcoal layer neutralises cooking smells, exhaust fumes, and other cabin odours.
• Enhanced HVAC Efficiency: A clean filter allows the heating‑ventilation‑air‑conditioning (HVAC) system to operate at optimal airflow, reducing energy consumption.
• Longer Filter Life: The robust construction and efficient media design extend service intervals compared with standard filters.

Installation Guide

1. Locate the Cabin Air Filter Compartment: On right‑hand drive vehicles, this is typically found behind the glove compartment or under a panel near the driver’s side dashboard.
2. Remove the Old Filter: Slide the existing filter out of its housing. Note the orientation; the airflow arrow should point towards the HVAC system.
3. Insert the New CUK 3461/1: Align the airflow indicator on the new filter with the same direction as the old one. Gently push it into place until it clicks or locks.
4. Secure the Cover: Replace any panels or covers that were removed during access. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to prevent leaks.

For vehicles with a water‑tank cover, the filter is positioned under this cover on the passenger side of the engine compartment. In such cases, follow the same orientation guidelines and secure the cover after installation.

Maintenance Tips

• Check the filter every 12 months or after heavy driving conditions (dusty roads, construction sites).
• Replace the filter if you notice reduced airflow, increased cabin noise, or a noticeable change in air quality.
• Avoid using compressed air to clean the filter; this can damage the media and reduce effectiveness.
