Mann Filter C2912191 Air Filter

The Mann Filter C2912191 Air Filter is a high‑performance component engineered for the Mercedes-Benz Actros series, including models such as the 1831, 1831 L, 1831 S, 1831 LS, and 1831 K. Designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this filter delivers superior protection for the engine’s air intake system.

Key Features & Benefits

• Premium Filtration Media: Utilizes a multi‑layered media structure that captures fine particulates down to 0.5 µm, ensuring clean air reaches the combustion chamber.
• High Flow Capacity: Engineered with an optimized airflow path, it maintains low pressure drop while delivering maximum airflow, which supports engine performance and fuel efficiency.
• Durable Construction: The filter housing is made from reinforced polypropylene, providing resistance to abrasion, moisture, and chemical exposure typical in heavy‑duty trucking environments.
• Easy Installation: Features a standard 4‑pin mounting system compatible with the Actros intake manifold. No special tools are required; the filter can be swapped out quickly during routine maintenance.
• Long Service Life: Designed to withstand extended periods of operation under heavy load and high ambient temperatures, reducing the frequency of replacements compared to standard filters.

Compatibility Overview

The C2912191 Air Filter is specifically calibrated for the following Mercedes-Benz Actros engine variants:

• Engine Codes: OM541.920, OM541.926, OM541.940, OM541.941, OM542.922, OM542.942.
• Model Years: 1996–2002 (inclusive), covering the original production range of the Actros platform.
• Vehicle Types: Heavy‑duty trucks and tractor units that require robust air filtration to maintain engine longevity.

Installation Instructions

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, the engine is cool, and all safety precautions are observed.
2. Remove Old Filter: Locate the intake manifold housing. Unscrew or unlatch the filter cover, then gently lift out the old filter.
3. Inspect Housing: Check for debris or damage inside the housing; clean if necessary with a dry cloth.
4. Insert New Filter: Place the C2912191 Air Filter into the housing, aligning the mounting tabs. Ensure it sits flush against the seal surface.
5. Secure Cover: Reattach the filter cover and tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
6. Verify Seal Integrity: Inspect for any gaps or misalignments that could allow unfiltered air to enter.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check the filter during routine service intervals (typically every 10,000–15,000 km) for signs of clogging or wear.
• Cleaning vs. Replacement: While some filters can be cleaned with a high‑pressure air jet, the C2912191 is designed as a disposable unit; replacement is recommended once performance degrades.
• Storage Conditions: Store unused filters in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to preserve media integrity.
