Product Overview

The Mann Filter C369832 Air Filter is a high‑performance engine air filter designed to meet the exacting standards of modern automotive engines. It is engineered for optimal airflow, superior filtration efficiency, and long service life, ensuring that your vehicle’s combustion chamber receives clean, dry air for maximum power and fuel economy.

Key Features

• Premium Filtration Media: Utilizes a multi‑layer polyester and foam core that captures particles as small as 0.3 µm while maintaining low resistance to airflow.
• Durable Construction: The filter housing is made from high‑strength, heat‑resistant plastic that protects the media from moisture and contaminants.
• Easy Installation: Designed for a quick, tool‑free fit into most engine bays. The gasket seal ensures a tight, leak‑proof connection.
• Long Service Life: Rated to last up to 30,000 km (or 2 years) under normal driving conditions, reducing maintenance frequency.
• OEM Compatibility: Matches the original equipment specifications for a wide range of Mercedes‑Benz and Puch models, including C‑Class, E‑Class, S‑Class, CLK, SLK, GLK, and many others.

Installation Guide

1. Locate the existing air filter housing and remove any retaining clips or screws.
2. Clean the interior of the housing to ensure no debris remains that could compromise the seal.
3. Place the new Mann Filter C369832 into the housing, aligning the gasket with the mounting surface.
4. Secure the housing back in place using the original fasteners or the provided clamps.
5. Check for any gaps around the edges; a tight seal prevents unfiltered air from bypassing the filter.
