Original MANN-FILTER Air Filter C 2736/2 – For passenger cars

Product Overview

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 2736/2 is a high‑performance air filter designed specifically for passenger cars. Manufactured in the United Kingdom, it delivers superior protection for your engine by capturing airborne contaminants while allowing optimal airflow.

Key Features

• Premium Filtration Media: Utilises a multi‑layered cellulose and synthetic blend that traps fine dust, pollen, and road grime.
• Optimised Airflow: Engineered to minimise resistance, ensuring the engine receives the required volume of clean air for efficient combustion.
• Durable Construction: The filter housing is made from high‑strength polypropylene, resistant to moisture and temperature extremes.
• Easy Installation: Fits standard passenger car models without modification; no tools required beyond a basic screwdriver.
• Long‑Lasting Performance: Designed for extended service intervals in typical driving conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Compatibility and Fitment

The C 2736/2 model is compatible with a wide range of passenger vehicles. It is commonly used in models such as:

• Ford Escort MK4
• Ford Fiesta MK2
• Other Ford, General Motors, Fiat, and similar platforms that accept the 48 mm cartridge size.

Always verify the exact fitment for your specific vehicle by consulting the manufacturer’s part number or a service manual before installation.

Installation Guide

1. Locate the existing filter: Open the engine compartment and find the air intake housing. The old filter will be secured with clips or screws.
2. Remove the old filter: Release any fasteners, carefully lift out the cartridge, and discard it responsibly.
3. Prepare the new filter: Remove the protective seal from the C 2736/2 cartridge. Inspect for any damage before installation.
4. Insert the new filter: Place the cartridge into the housing, ensuring a snug fit. Re‑attach any clips or screws to secure it in place.
5. Check for leaks: After reassembly, start the engine and inspect around the intake for any air leaks.

Performance Benefits

Installing the MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 2736/2 offers several tangible advantages:

• Improved Engine Efficiency: Clean air reduces engine wear and improves fuel combustion, potentially enhancing mileage.
• Enhanced Durability: By preventing abrasive particles from reaching the cylinder head, it prolongs engine life.
• Consistent Airflow: Maintains optimal pressure across a range of operating temperatures, supporting smooth acceleration and throttle response.

Maintenance Tips

While the C 2736/2 is designed for longevity, regular inspection can further extend its life:

• Visual Checks: Every 10,000 km or annually, inspect the filter for visible dirt accumulation.
• Cleaning (Optional): Some users choose to rinse the filter with a mild detergent and allow it to dry fully before reuse. However, this may reduce its lifespan if performed too frequently.
• Storage: Store unused filters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity.

Material Composition

The filter’s core is composed of a cellulose‑based media combined with synthetic fibers. This blend offers high filtration efficiency while maintaining low pressure drop. The outer casing, made from polypropylene, resists corrosion and withstands the thermal stresses typical in engine compartments.

Environmental Considerations

MANN‑FILTER designs its products with sustainability in mind. The C 2736/2 uses recyclable materials where possible, and the manufacturing process adheres to strict environmental standards set by UK regulations.
