Sakura A-30960 Air Filter for Mercedes-Benz A-Class, B-Class, CLA, & GLA | Premium Soft PU Frame | Replaces A2700940004

Maintain the refined performance and turbocharger health of your Mercedes-Benz with the Sakura A-30960 Air Filter. Tailored for the MFA platform (Modular Front Architecture), this filter is essential for the 1.6L and 2.0L turbocharged engines found in the A-Class, B-Class, CLA, and GLA. In high-performance German-engineered engines, consistent airflow and air purity are vital for maintaining the precise air-fuel ratios required by the direct-injection system.

The A-30960 features an advanced Soft PU (Polyurethane) Frame.¹ This specialized frame acts as an integrated high-thermal gasket, specifically designed to withstand the cramped, high-heat engine bays of compact Mercedes models. The Soft PU construction ensures a vibration-proof, vacuum-tight seal, preventing “dirty air bypass.” This protection is critical for the sensitive Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and prevents abrasive microscopic particles from damaging the precision turbocharger vanes.
