• Durable Construction: The filter housing is made from high‑strength polypropylene, resistant to abrasion and chemical attack.
• Easy Installation: Designed for quick fitment with standard mounting brackets; no special tools required.
• OEM Compatibility: Meets or exceeds original equipment specifications for a wide range of vehicles, including luxury performance models.
• Long Service Life: Capable of lasting up to 12 000 miles under normal driving conditions before requiring replacement.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Locate the existing air filter housing on your engine bay.
2. Remove the old filter by loosening the retaining clips or screws.
3. Clean the interior of the housing to remove any debris.
4. Place the new C 69 226 filter into the housing, ensuring the airflow direction arrow points forward.
5. Secure the housing with the original fasteners or the supplied clips.
6. Check for a tight seal and verify that no air leaks are present.

Performance Impact

By providing a clean, high‑quality airflow stream, the C 69 226 filter helps maintain engine efficiency and reduces wear on internal components. The low pressure drop ensures that throttle response remains sharp, while the robust media protects against particulate contamination that could otherwise lead to premature piston ring wear or cylinder head damage.

Maintenance & Care Tips

• Inspect the filter every 6 000 miles or after exposure to dusty environments.
• Avoid using compressed air directly on the media; instead, use a soft brush for light cleaning if necessary.
• Store unused filters in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
