Engine oil drain plug

[denchen]

This might sound daft, but I've only just bought a 2019 B180d W247 from MB, that has to go back as the `stop start` is not working. I do not want to disturb anything until I get the stop start fixed as it's a MB Approved car. Anyway, I've had a look under the bonnet, and cannot find the oil filter. Youtube and Google say it's at the front, just to the rear of the alternator / air con compressor, or some are deep down at the rear of the motor. I've looked behind every pipe, and no I carn't see an oil filter. The only thing I can think of is that it's under neath and I have to take off the bottom cover and then a small plate on the engine to get to the filter and sump plug. As I said I don't want to dig too deep until I get it fixed by MB but would like advice on where the filter is, and if it is what type. Thanks

I've just looked on you tube and it's to the left of the engine , or at the back ,near the bulk head ,way down . Look for a 7 or so sided black cap. With a 27mm plastic nut on top.

I've had a good look down both those spots and I carn't see it. I'm back at MB on Weds for them to fix the stop start, I'll ask them, but the W247 seems a bit different layout on this model
