TOPIC CHANGE -- MAF cleaning, completely stuck gonna stop until advised **PIC**

i know i can replace the partial load vent hose by myself with the correct tools...how about the fuel filter (which tools needed and where is the location for my car?), HO2 Sensor and Thermostat?

All of those have been covered. Use the search and you will find all the info you need. Search by thread titles for the shortest list.

I like the 5-spoke rims on your car?
Can you show me sonme close up pics?

BTW, the fuel filter located in front of the Left-Rear wheel.

this is what they looked like when they are on my car but i have different rims on them now...i still own those 5 spoke amgs but the front right has slight damage while the rest are semi oxidized and need a good scrubbing....

The vent hose is the infamous $12 hose. I just got mine replaced at the $tealership for free. There is a campaign (IE recall) out on it right now. Get this, I had to pay for this part 2 yrs ago and it cost me 400 Bucks! But now I get a refund from them....

O WOW I see that someone is trying to repl the line to the supercharger on a 271 engine . Replace them all including the check valve

He changed to cleaning the MAF, but didn't put it in the text, just the thread title.

To the OP: I just use security torx bits to take the insert out. Way quicker.

i use torx keys but the screw on the right is easy enough to take out, how do you suggest i take the one out on the left? there is a lot of plastic around it and basically it comes out after that screw comes out or is there a metal clip below i have to fish out...

C'mon, work with us a little. I said 'use the search' because this has been gone over before with much better instructions than I can hope to give. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w203-c-class/1409143-p0170-mass-air-flow-maf-sensor.html

First page of results of a search for 'remove MAF' turned up that thread with a full set of instructions.

Sorry about my direction for security torx, that was based on the W210 I had before where the MAF was super-easy to remove that way.

Good motoring. Looks like you will need a special tool, might have to put the car back together and go get it.

I use a 9mm socket and a 1/4" extention bar small enough to go through the plastic tubing. Yeah had a hard time too !!!

This may be a dumb question, but which part the the Mass Air Flow Sensor, I have an 05' c230k also, with 45k miles on her. I think the mafs may need a good cleaning, hopefully not a replacing. Can you please tell me how to clean it, and which part it is. Pictures if any body has them would be greatly appreciated.
