I just bought a 95 C280 with 22000 miles.
The service book shows all services done to date at the dealer. My question is does this car have a ventilation microfilter, and at what service interval does this get replaced? Please advise me of any other service issues regarding this car which I should be aware of. Thanks.

Hi,

Go search the archive and you will find the answer. But well, here is the summary:

Yes, 95 C280 does have a ventilation microfilter. The replacement interval is 45,000 miles/2 years based on the service booklet (you should have it with your car). The later C class uses a charcoal mictofilter that fits in your car as well. According to M.B.Doc, it lasts twice as long. And yes, PartsShop has it (part #210 830 08 18).

You can read the thread "94 C280 Charcoal Filter: Where is it?" for detail.
