5.3.14. Air filter

The soaked-up air passes through the air filter consisting of the case which is also called by a damper of the forced gases, and actually the filter from corrugated material.
Thanks to rubber consolidation the filter densely adjoins to the case. When passing via the filter in its folds from finely porous material small particles of dirt are deposited, and larger particles are besieged in the case.
The filter well performs the function only when regularly look after it. The littered filter passes insufficient amount of air in the engine. Mix becomes fat, power falls and fuel consumption increases.
   Cleaning and replacement of the filter
It is necessary to clean the filter at least once a year, and to replace — in two years. The filter type for your Mercedes of the E-class is described in documentation, you can also recognize him in specialized shops of sale of spare parts for foreign cars. It is not obligatory to buy the original spare filter, filters of other producers are also suitable for use.

5. Remove smaller dirt by means of compressed air (fig. 4.58). Direct a stream of air sideways along filter folds.
Do not blow the filter outside inside. Do not clear the paper filter liquid.
6. When changing the filter pay attention to that consolidation well adjoined to the lower part of the case of the filter.
7. Insert the new filter into the lower part of a damper. Pay attention to that rubber consolidation well adjoined.
8. Check consolidation on the top part of a damper. If necessary replace.

SEQUENCE OF WORKS
1. Pick up the absorption phone from a damper. For this purpose turn off a collar.
2. Lift a damper from rubber laying and take out from a motor compartment.
