Sakura A-26500 Air Filter for Mercedes-Benz C220, C250 (W205) & GLC220d (X253) | Premium Soft PU Frame Intake | Replaces 6510940404 & A6510940404

Protect the sophisticated engine of your luxury vehicle with the Sakura A-26500 Air Filter. Purpose-built for the W205 C-Class and X253 GLC, this filter is optimized for the high-pressure demands of Mercedes-Benz common-rail diesel engines. As these engines utilize advanced turbocharging and sensitive emissions sensors, maintaining a clean and unrestricted air supply is critical for preventing turbo lag and preserving fuel economy.

The A-26500 features a unique asymmetric trapezoidal design (²$L1/L2$ and ³$W1/W2$ variations) and an advanced Soft PU (Polyurethane) Frame.⁴ This frame acts as a precision-molded gasket, creating a 100% airtight seal against the airbox housing. This prevents “dirty air bypass,” ensuring that fine dust and carbon particles do not contaminate the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or cause abrasive wear to the engine’s internal components.
