Ordered my Air Filters From www.Importec.com 2 days ago and they already arived! I just changed them and i must say the previous owner never did. When i finally found the right Star headed screw driver the air box had literally sand sitting in it, like a big clumps of it. It was disgusting. So i changed 2(c43 requires 2 filters instead of one) And the car i must say sounds a whole lot cleaner, it accelerates quicker also. SO if u have never changed ur Air filters in the life of your car i suggest you do it, ur engine will thank you...:D

Next up Oil change.....

hey what type of filter is it, i thought anything else other than stock would wreck the MAS ?

i think is pretty commem to have sand in the bottem of the air box, mine did i think is from the ducts on the front it gets all that dirty kicked up air in it.

OEM is the way to go on a w202, i would hate for my MAF to go whacky and have to dish out 300+ for a new one
