Original MANN-FILTER Air Filter C 17 217 – For Passenger Cars

MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 17 217

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 17 217 is a premium engine air filter designed for passenger cars, particularly those from the Mercedes‑Benz and Puch families. It delivers exceptional filtration performance while maintaining optimal airflow, ensuring that your vehicle’s combustion chamber receives clean, dry air for maximum efficiency.

Key Features

• High‑Performance Filtration: Utilises a multi‑layer media system that captures fine particulates down to 0.5 µm, protecting the engine from dust, pollen and road grime.
• Optimised Airflow: Engineered with an aerodynamic design that reduces resistance, allowing the engine to breathe freely and improving fuel economy.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑grade synthetic fibers and reinforced with a protective outer shell, the filter resists moisture absorption and extends service life.
• OEM Compatibility: Meets or exceeds original equipment specifications for a wide range of models, including Mercedes‑Benz G‑Class SUVs (W460, W461, W463) and Puch G‑Klass variants.
• Easy Installation: Fits standard filter housings with no modifications required; the secure mounting clips lock the filter in place for a leak‑free seal.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Locate the filter housing: Typically found near the engine’s air intake manifold.
2. Remove the old filter: Unscrew or unclamp the housing cover, then lift out the worn filter. Dispose of it responsibly.
3. Prepare the new filter: Remove any protective packaging and check for correct orientation (the side with the mounting tabs should face outward).
4. Insert the filter: Place the filter into the housing, ensuring a snug fit. The tabs should align with the corresponding slots.
5. Secure the cover: Reattach the housing cover and tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
6. Verify seal integrity: Inspect for any gaps or loose connections that could allow unfiltered air into the engine.

Maintenance Tips

• Check the filter every 10,000 km or after driving in dusty conditions; replace if it appears clogged.
• Avoid using compressed air to clean the filter; this can damage the media and reduce filtration efficiency.
• Store spare filters in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture absorption.
