You set up an account for free, send the emails from that and then cancel it from your computer.

Re: Cabin Filter: Quality?

I just bought a Mann charcoal cabin filter for $16 and the pair of Mann air filters for $19. Since the order was over $25, I got free shipping. Amazon is great

Since Mann makes most of the filters for Mercedes, they are pretty much identical (except the cabin filter frame is not as rigid, but still much better than most I have seen)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I ordered the same activated charcoal filter yesterday from partstrain.com. I used a coupon code that I found on the internet (PTCART)to save $2, and the total cost including shipping came to $23.46. 23 HOURS AND 48 MINUTES after I ordered it online, UPS delivered it to my front door.

I think that they made a mistake. The filter was shipped from Miami. Since I am a Florida resident, they probably should have charged me Florida sales tax.

Shipping is a little high, but they took my lower offer which made up for some of it, plus I didn't have to pay tax. Got it in 2 days.

I just bought 4 of these, 3 of which I'll sell to forum members at my cost of $21.

Let me know if you want one, and I'll hang onto it until I see you at a future X-Fire GTG like the Dragon, Dream Cruise, etc...

These are orig MB equipment with charcoal.

Ring - Thanks for the info!

OK - I have Valk, MsGump and Boiler on the reserve list, and I'm bidding on some more. Anyone else interested?

Has anybody used these? I'm wondering if it's worth a darn or if I should find a better one.

Thanks,

that's what i used. no problems with fitment. saved the oem to pressure clean someday. they were less than $20 each at pep boys.
