- How to change airmatic / self levelling suspension air filter for compressor. This filter is used on all Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 2009-2016 Estate models. Sedan only have it if you have airmatic option.
This is not in any service schedule so don't worry to much about it, but I like to check the condition because if the filter would have been clogged is a indication that's something is bad and the system probably about to break.
That hose was also worn so is good sometimes to have a regular check and change out bad parts. Then you know the car going to run great : )
Preventative maintenance is always cheaper than a repair. Especially when it comes to German cars. Just ordered a filter and a new airline manfold/module for my E550 sedan. Thanks for the video, it was enjoyable.
Very good I believe less than 10% of owners know of this or ever change it. Thanks for showing all the partnumbers especially!
thanks a lot bro its first time that i see a professional guy doing the right steps while work without much talk
@MB212 Can’t believe I’m only finding your channel now after I overhauled my w211 E550 AirMatic Suspension. Great video, relaxing to watch and appreciate you providing part numbers as well. Keep up the good work!
This sent small shivers down my back it was so relaxing and cathartic to watch.
Never heard of that kind of filter for my E550 lol. Even it's for fuel and used for air ... weird. Well, but when it's doing it's job, I think it gonna be alright. Thanks for the information which even MB-Dealers don't know 👍
Ya is kinda weird when is not even a air filter to begin with. Is not in any service documents whatsoever but i still think is good to check it after the car getting older, because if the filter would have been dirty and clogged it would have tell something is bad and system is about to brake down soon.
Never heard of E550. May be it’s a USDM thing though.
Maybe your car isnt airmatic.
@@scaryfear21 we have e550 in the US w a smaller twin turbo v8 than the e63
Those don’t go bad for a really long time that’s why it’s probably never changed.
PM that found what was a problem. Nice I don't own a W212, but I do work on my own cars, a bravo Zulu to your work there and on info.
That filter must be good for life of the vehicle. That is why it was not mentioned in the manual.
Typically it is a life time filter.
You mean the life of the warranty.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 Do you have comprehension issues or are you just being a useless troll.
@@matthewq4b he’s not wrong is he
@@123macbookair Typically it is life time unless the vehicle sees lots of gravel operation. So no not 100% correct and it is listed in the WIS to be replaced at 160k if the vehicle is operated mostly off pavement.
Thank you for your very useful content. Keep going👍🏻
I love this channel. Please keep posting :D
You should also change silica pearls inside of compressor or atleast dry them
One time in Wanted to Change this Filter and told the Worker in the Garage that i wanted that Filter Changed. No one in the Garage belived me that there is a Filter in the airmatic lol. In the end i bought the Filter and Changed it by my self.
And a fun fact this Filter is normaly a Gasfilter Not For Air. On the pakage is written "Kraftstofffilter"
is air gas or fluid :D
Nice video, thanks. What are the symptoms of a dirty filter? Have you identified any specific problem? bouncy or extremely hard suspension (even in comfort program)?
Hi, good job. I changed it last year. Preventively
Superb vid brother! I will have mine checked!!
NO need to change at all and look at the filter it look new ! if you think it need to be replace then show us the WIS document about filter service interval :)
That's what I was thinking 🤔
Nicely done 👍 thank you for sharing 😀
Excellent video & nice presentation. Why this filter is hidden from service book ?
Wait a minute, do you mean that this air filter is for the airmatic (pneumatic) suspension system? It looks like a fuel filter of my former 1982 Mercedes-Benz 200 (W123).
Thanks a bunch!
Fajny film. W modelu W221 w którym miejscu znajduje się ten filtr?
I see the check engine sign in your opinion, is it the fuel pump..?
codesThe signal 'Fuel level from the rear signal acquisition and actuation module was not received by the instrument cluster.
I cannot believe that you repair your car yourself, have a good garage but don't have a pit. Hire yourself a digger for a couple of days and make a pit. Or if you have more money, install the raisers, if the garage height allows. I don't have garage, but I have a pit outside my house. You cannot believe how helpfull it is.
I would love to get bigger garage with car lift but unfortunately they not giving building permits, so for know this is what I have to work in.
What is the name of the air pump kit? Does the kit include air filter? Also why don't you get a habit to apply silicone grease on all the hoses you install, new or old. This will keep the rubber alive and significantly prolong its life.
Air pump kit is all separate original parts I bought online. Is not sells like this so you have to order part by part. I think this was around 150 euro in total.
Thanks for the tip I going to keep that in mind 🙏
Hi... I need to replace the airmatic compressor, 2014 estate.... I'm sure I've seen a video of you doing that, but can't find it now... Are you able to send me a link please, or point me in the right direction? Many thanks
Is it correct behave to wait up to that 550k km to cleaning engine, my intent is not discuss, only wondering. I would ask Is there a any reason to that?
Check the condition on the new filter also
Why would they hide it from the service book. To force you to used Mercedes dealers?
Good video… I assume this also need to be done on my W222😅
Thanks bro! Ya I guess is should be the same kind for your W222
Can you show me part numbers of things on car and how to find on motorock or alibaba web? Thank you sir
Hallo vielen Dank für das Video. Wie kann man manuell selber b Service am bordcomputer selber zurücksetzen? W212 350 cgi Baujahr 2010. Würde mich sehr freuen wenn Sie darüber ein Video machen könnten. Gruß Serkan
Air filter in the back of the car? What is its function?
Is this filter is only in w212,or in any model's too???
Oh dont worry they do, but when the pump fails
How much rust is there in the undercarriage of your w212?
Why am i the only one to ask filter name and what does it filter out ?
why would you ever need to change this filter? I mean it really doesn't make any sense
You probably don’t! But I think it may be a good idea to check it out if is full with dirty and water is a good indication your system is about to break. But don’t worry this is more like for mb nerds like me I believe 🙈
Totally unnecessary
You obviously don’t drive a German car with air suspension (I have a w211 E550 4matic) and understand how eliminating small points of failure go a long way to the longevity of the overall system. What difference does $10 filter/hose make when the replacement compressor is $700 or a single MB air strut is $1500 each. Well made and informative video!
Your car is Your baby
Kinda ☺️☺️☺️
Wow I didn't know that is that only for disel models only? and gas models have it ?
Is for all estate models don’t matter if is gas or diesel, because even if you not have airmatic is still have the self leveling system in the rear to handle the load. Other models on for airmatic!
Hello. Do you know the part number for the protection cover to the right of the compressor that shows at 1:30? The big cover that protects the fuel tank. Mine has bad damage to it, but can't find the part number for it. I'm probably searching for the wrong thing. Anyways, great video. Been fixing my air suspension changing everything except the compressor and filter+hoses. It still works so will just leave it until it breaks :)
Hi part-nr is A 212 619 23 38 and cost around 40 euro at your dealer. Not sure if all models have the same kind so if you want to be 100% sure send me your VIN code and I check. Thanks 👍
@@MB212 gonna have a look. Cheers 😊
@@MB212 .
Hej, finns det någon dränering ventil så man kan få ut vattnet?
Is that a 4 bag or rear bag car?
Is this on the W211 also?
There is one for W204 MB C250 2010 ?
That’s because it’s something that will never be plugged up for the life of the car! It’s a non issue!
i did...
Is this filter for rear air suspension?
Yess is used for both front and rear suspension.
Does my amg w212 e63s have this for the rear air?
Wagon all have it in the rear, sedan only if you have airmatic option!
Good. The less mercs are around, the better.
Hi, Is it on AMG estate models too? There is AMG ride, but rear suspensions also self leveling.
Yess is same filter!
@@MB212 thx mate, i will change it. Have a good YEAR
So this is an airmatic pump airfilter wright?
Yess but also is goes to the self leveling system for estate model without airmatic.
Mine ain't Airmatic, so I'm good.
Where to buy parts? If you have a site, please leave a link.
I buy all original parts from carparts-pros.com but you need to know the part-nr for what you need.
@@MB212 thank you. I'm learning another one.
Hallo✌️ After how many km does the filter have to be changed?
Is not in any service manuals so is up to you. Don’t worry to much about it if you don’t want to change it.
@@MB212 Thank you for your prompt reply
@@MB212 hee? How to do not worry?? Everyone has to worry about it especially that there no info in manual how often to change it.. this filter is main reason of scratches on cylinder.. so from my experience at least once per 2 years :)
@@luked272 If it is not in the official service schedule, it means life time, and that is 100K km.
@@utube521 100kkm it is too late.. then You can have compressor broken.. some people doing 100kkm in 6-8 years so You can imagine what can happen with filter.
Hi
Diesel or Benzin..?
Diesel! But same filter also in benzine.
Most MB vehicles fuel filter needs to be replaced every 120k miles. What manual says
Wozu gibt es diese versteckte Filter
Habs auch erst nicht ganz verstanden des is für die Airmatic Luftfahrwerk
Save money, walk instead...
so stupid by mercedes to placed the compressor there! i have the same car! Mercedes must start to maintain quality cars like before i the 1980 way! so bad sensors and electronic wires and things!
Yess agree is stupid to have such important parts kinda bad protected!
If it ain't broken don't try to fix it
Way to complicated, time consuming and too narrow spaces.
I would probably smash the thing with a hammer after 5 minutes.
Accordingly I would bring my car to a mechanic.
