2001 W210 - How are the cabin filer and charcoal filter replaced?

Getting my new-to-me W210 all squared away. I want to check the condition of the cabin filter and the charcoal filter. How do I get to them?

Brace both feet, give a GOOD tug.

Charcoal filter is acessed from P side footwell.

Don't remove the plastic screws which set the alignment of the door.

And yes, it takes quite a bit of force to remove that glovebox. Scary force.

I can't wait to try this repair. I don't like yanking on anything for fear of breaking it.

W210 Cabin Filter - No Yank Method!!!

Cabin Filters behind glovebox: I replaced mine last year, gritted my teeth and yanked on the glovebox door as directed. Stopped midway this year, not wanting to put that much force on it ever again.

After the 6 (or 8) screws are out, be sure your hands are clean - back of the knuckles too! Working from the outer edges, put your fingers (palms up) under the lower front edge of the glovebox door, and slide them towards the center. Curl fingers to apply slight upward pressure - that will release the catch in lower center. This should save you from breaking the glovebox door hinges - and will be even more important as the plastic ages and becomes fragile.

Carbon Filters under glovebox: Much easier to replace than the cabin filters!!

Remove the underdash panel and locate the two white plastic slide clamps to hold the air chamber doors in place. Note the shape, location and orientation of the existing filters (and doors); replace one at a time to eliminate confusion / misalignment / frustration, etc.

Be sure to seat the chamber doors correctly and align the plastic slide clamps properly. The slides should stop when they are fully seated; if they don't, the chamber door isn't seated correctly. May take a try or two to get it right.

Good luck! This info on this site was a big help to me the first time I tried it. I am glad to add some more helpful hints now that I've done it a couple of times.

For the W210, Bosch's drawings are fuzzy, but give you the basics. If you know to look carefully, they show the white plastic ends on the cabin filters facing upward. Not mentioned anywhere though.

They also don't mention how much of a pain it is to get the glovebox out.
