Dr. Diesel,
Have you had any experience with the W202? There was a thread recently about the fact that the Mann air filter does not fit right. Seems to be about 1/4 inch too long which doesn't sound like much but makes a big problem fitting it in. Someone posted the problem and I had the same experience. The air box can't shrink can it?!
