Original MANN-FILTER Air Filter C 30 138/1 – For passenger carss

MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 30 138/1

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 30 138/1 is a premium engine air filter designed for passenger cars that demand optimal airflow, filtration efficiency and long service life. Developed by the renowned German manufacturer MANN‑FILTER, this filter combines advanced materials with precise engineering to deliver superior protection for your vehicle’s combustion system.

Key Features

• High‑Efficiency Filtration: Utilises a multi‑layer media that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, ensuring the engine receives clean air while maintaining maximum airflow.
• Durable Construction: The filter housing is made from high‑strength polypropylene, resistant to abrasion and chemical attack, which extends the life of the filter under harsh driving conditions.
• Easy Installation: Designed for a universal fit on a wide range of passenger cars. The flat, rectangular shape allows quick removal and replacement without special tools.
• Low Resistance: Maintains optimal engine performance by minimizing pressure drop across the filter, which translates into better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
• Long Service Life: Engineered to last up to 30 000 km (or 12 months) under normal driving conditions, reducing maintenance frequency for owners.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Allow the vehicle to cool if it has been running.
2. Locate the Air Filter Box: Open the hood and identify the rectangular air filter housing. It is typically situated near the front of the engine bay.
3. Remove the Old Filter: Unscrew or unlatch the cover, then gently lift out the old filter. Dispose of it responsibly.
4. Insert the New Filter: Place the MANN‑FILTER C 30 138/1 into the housing, ensuring that the airflow arrows on the filter face the correct direction (toward the engine).
5. Secure the Housing: Replace the cover and tighten any fasteners. Verify that the seal is intact to prevent air leaks.
6. Test the Installation: Start the engine and listen for normal operation. Check for any unusual noises or reduced airflow indicators.

Benefits of Choosing MANN‑FILTER

• Engine Protection: By trapping dust, pollen, and other contaminants, the filter prevents abrasive particles from reaching critical engine components such as pistons, valves, and bearings.
• Improved Fuel Economy: Clean air flow reduces the load on the combustion chamber, allowing the engine to operate more efficiently.
• Reduced Emissions: A well‑filtered intake system contributes to lower exhaust emissions, helping vehicles meet stringent environmental regulations.
• Reliability: MANN‑FILTER’s rigorous quality control ensures that each unit meets or exceeds OEM specifications, giving drivers confidence in performance and durability.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter every 10 000 km or during routine maintenance checks. A visibly dirty filter may indicate a need for earlier replacement.
• Avoid using compressed air to clean the filter, as this can damage the media and reduce filtration efficiency.
• If your vehicle operates in extremely dusty or polluted environments, consider replacing the filter more frequently than the standard interval.

• Opel Zafira B (A05 2.2 F75_ F67)
• Vauxhall Astra Mk4 CC
• General Motors Vauxhall Opel models with the 13271043 or 9202382 part numbers
• Other vehicles that share the same air filter dimensions (42 × 24 × 20 mm)

For a definitive fitment check, consult your vehicle’s service manual or contact a qualified automotive technician.

Why MANN‑FILTER Stands Out

• Heritage: With over 70 years of experience in filtration technology, MANN‑FILTER has become synonymous with quality and innovation.
• Research & Development: Continuous investment in material science leads to filters that balance airflow with particle capture more effectively than many competitors.
• Global Presence: The brand’s extensive distribution network ensures that genuine parts are available worldwide, backed by technical support and documentation.
