Original MANN-FILTER Interior Filter CUK 2338 – Pollen filter with active charcoal – For passenger cars

Product Overview

The MANN‑FILTER Interior Filter CUK 2338 is a high‑performance cabin air filter designed to protect the interior of passenger cars from dust, pollen, and airborne pollutants. It incorporates an advanced activated charcoal layer, which captures odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring that the cabin environment remains fresh and healthy for occupants.

Key Features

• Dual‑Stage Filtration: A pre‑filter traps larger particles, while the activated charcoal layer neutralises fine dust and odours.
• High Airflow Capacity: Engineered to maintain optimal airflow through the HVAC system without compromising filtration efficiency.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑grade synthetic fibers that resist moisture, UV exposure, and mechanical wear.
• Easy Installation: Fits standard cabin filter housings found in a wide range of passenger vehicles; no special tools required.
• Long Service Life: Designed to remain effective for up to 15,000–20,000 miles (or as specified by the vehicle manufacturer) under normal driving conditions.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility and Vehicle Models

The CUK 2338 is specifically engineered for a range of Mercedes‑Benz models, including:

• ML320 / ML350 / ML430 / ML500 (1998–2005)
• ML55 AMG (1998–2005)
• M‑Class W163 variants
• Other passenger cars with standard cabin filter housings that match the CUK 2338 dimensions.

Installation Guide

1. Locate the cabin filter housing – typically beneath the glove compartment or under the dashboard.
2. Open the housing cover and remove the old filter, discarding it safely.
3. Align the new CUK 2338 filter with the airflow arrows on its face.
4. Insert the filter fully into the housing until it clicks or locks in place.
5. Close the housing cover and ensure it is securely fastened.
6. Start the vehicle to verify that the HVAC system operates normally; no unusual noises should be heard.

Maintenance Tips

• Check the filter every 12–15 months or after heavy exposure to dust (e.g., during construction work).
• Avoid forcing air through a clogged filter; this can reduce HVAC efficiency and damage the system.
• When replacing, always use the same model number (CUK 2338) to guarantee optimal fit and performance.

Environmental Impact

The activated charcoal component of the CUK 2338 captures harmful pollutants before they enter the cabin, contributing to a healthier indoor environment for passengers. By extending the service life of the filter, it also reduces waste compared to filters that require more frequent replacement.

Performance Benefits

• Improved Cabin Air Quality: Removes up to 99% of airborne pollen and fine dust particles.
• Odour Control: Activated charcoal neutralises unpleasant smells from cooking, exhaust, or environmental sources.
• Enhanced HVAC Efficiency: Low airflow resistance ensures that the heating, ventilation, and air‑conditioning system operates at peak performance.
• Driver Comfort: Cleaner air reduces eye irritation and respiratory discomfort for occupants.
