MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 17 225/3 – For Utility Vehicles

The Original MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 17 225/3 is a high‑performance, OEM‑specification replacement designed specifically for utility vehicles. It delivers superior protection against dust, dirt, and other contaminants while maintaining optimal airflow to the engine.

Key Features

• Engine Protection: The filter’s multi‑layer construction captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, safeguarding pistons, valves, and fuel injectors from abrasive wear.
• High Airflow Capacity: With a maximum airflow rating of 1,200 CFM (cubic feet per minute), the filter ensures that the engine receives enough fresh air for efficient combustion and power output.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑grade polypropylene media and reinforced with a steel backing plate, it resists compression and maintains shape even under heavy load conditions.
• Easy Installation: The filter’s standard dimensions (outer diameter = 166 mm, inner diameter = 86 mm, height = 353 mm) fit seamlessly into the original housing of most VW LT, Mercedes‑Benz, Ford, and other commercial vehicle models.
• Long Service Life: Designed for a service interval of up to 30,000 km (or 12 months), it reduces maintenance frequency while keeping engine performance stable.

Compatibility Overview

The C 17 225/3 is engineered to match the original specifications of a wide range of utility vehicles. Below are some of the key models and series that benefit from this filter:

• Volkswagen LT 28‑35 I (Kastenwagen) – 281–363 mm chassis
• Volkswagen LT 40‑55 I (Van) – 291–512 mm chassis
• MERCEDES‑BENZ commercial trucks and vans
• FORD utility vehicles with the same C 17 series designation
• Other OEMs such as DAF, Iveco, Renault Trucks, Volvo, and MAN that use the C 17 media profile.

Installation Instructions

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool. Remove any debris from the filter housing with a clean cloth.
2. Removal of Old Filter: Open the filter cover, lift out the old filter, and discard it properly.
3. Positioning: Place the new C 17 225/3 filter into the housing. Align the mounting tabs with the corresponding slots on the housing frame.
4. Securing: Tighten the cover screws evenly to avoid uneven pressure that could compress the media.
5. Final Check: Verify that the filter is seated correctly and that there are no gaps or leaks around the edges.

Performance Benefits

• Improved Fuel Efficiency: By maintaining optimal airflow, the engine burns fuel more efficiently, reducing consumption by up to 2% in typical operating conditions.
• Extended Engine Life: Consistent filtration prevents particulate buildup on critical components, lowering wear and extending service intervals.
• Reduced Emissions: Cleaner combustion results in lower exhaust emissions, helping vehicles meet stricter environmental regulations.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter every 10,000 km or at least twice a year. If you notice a significant drop in airflow or a visible clog, replace it sooner.
• Avoid using compressed air to clean the filter; this can damage the media layers and reduce effectiveness.
• Store spare filters in a dry, dust‑free environment to preserve their integrity until installation.
