Original MANN-FILTER Air Filter C 23 004 – For Passenger Cars

Product Overview

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 23 004 is a premium engine air filter engineered for passenger cars. Designed with precision, it delivers superior filtration efficiency while maintaining optimal airflow to the combustion chamber.

Key Features

• High‑Efficiency Filtration: Utilises MANN‑FILTER’s patented AirGuard® technology, capturing 99.9% of airborne particles down to 0.5 µm.
• Optimised Airflow: The filter media is engineered for low resistance, ensuring the engine receives a steady stream of clean air without compromising performance.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑grade synthetic fibers and reinforced with a protective outer shell that resists moisture and oil contamination.
• Easy Installation: The standard C 23 004 shape fits most passenger car models, including Fiat Sedici, Suzuki SX4, and other compact vehicles. No special tools required.
• Long‑Lasting Life: Designed to maintain filtration performance for up to 12,000 km under normal driving conditions, extending the interval between replacements.

Compatibility Matrix

The filter is specifically tailored for a wide range of passenger cars. Below are common models that accept the C 23 004 format:

Installation Guide

1. Locate the engine compartment and open the hood.
2. Identify the existing air filter housing; it typically has a removable cover secured with clips or screws.
3. Remove the old filter by lifting the cover and gently pulling out the worn media.
4. Insert the new MANN‑FILTER C 23 004, aligning the mounting tabs with the housing recesses.
5. Secure the cover, ensuring a tight seal to prevent unfiltered air from entering.
6. Close the hood and start the engine; listen for any unusual noises indicating improper fitment.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter every 6,000 km or at least twice a year. A visibly dirty filter should be replaced immediately to avoid performance loss.
• Avoid using compressed air on the filter; it can dislodge fibers and damage the media.
• If you drive in dusty or polluted environments, consider replacing the filter more frequently (every 4,000 km).

Performance Benefits

By ensuring a clean air supply, the MANN‑FILTER C 23 004 contributes to:

• Improved Fuel Efficiency: Cleaner combustion leads to better mileage.
• Enhanced Engine Longevity: Reduces wear on pistons and valves caused by particulate matter.
• Reduced Emissions: Efficient combustion lowers exhaust pollutants, supporting environmental compliance.

Material Composition

The filter media consists of a multi‑layer synthetic fiber stack. The outer layer is treated with an oil‑repellent coating to prevent clogging from engine oil vapors. The core layer provides the bulk filtration, while the inner layer ensures maximum airflow.

Quality Assurance

MANN‑FILTER maintains rigorous testing protocols. Each batch undergoes:

• Particle retention tests to confirm 99.9% efficiency for particles ≥0.5 µm.
• Airflow resistance measurements ensuring ≤10 Pa pressure drop under standard conditions.
• Durability assessments simulating extended driving cycles.

Environmental Impact

The filter’s design promotes lower fuel consumption, which in turn reduces CO₂ emissions. Additionally, the use of recyclable synthetic fibers aligns with sustainability goals.

Customer Feedback Highlights
