Newbie - Still learning - Sprinter 3.0 Diesel Cabin Filter / Engine Air Filter
Thought I would change out the engine air filter since it looked dirty. Went to Auto Zone and purchased a new filter. Took out the old filter and tried to put in the new filter, didn't fit. Went back to Auto Zone to return it and they also looked up and verified it was the correct part number.
Well - this morning I looked up a you tube video and found out I was trying to put the engine air filter into the cabin air filter location. For all you newbies out there - the filter you can see to the left on the Sprinter 3.0 Diesel is the cabin air filter. The engine air filter is located under the middle plastic housing in the top center of the engine. You have to take off 2 wiring harnesses and about 7-8 screws. Another good thing about my dumbness is that I found out there is a tool kit underneath the passenger side carpet with the appropriate screw driver to remove the air filter housing just in case you don't have a screw set handy. Gotta love you tube!!
