When the 220D was the daily driver, I took the actual filter section and submerged it in a suitably sized container of diesel and sloshed it up and down. Changed the diesel and repeated once. Set it aside to drain for quite a while, then put new oil in the housing as per 'Addicted' and reassembled. Kinda messy, but seemd to work ok.
