activated charcoal filter - repalcement

[MSG2004]

Hi

I want to replace my 'activated charcoal filter ' - recommended it is done every two years or 35k miles - last service was an A service, but now the warranty has expeired and I'm considering going to an independent but they will do everything but that.

Where is it and how do i replace it?

Is it available from the internet and approx how much from stealership?

my car - 2003/53 plate C180K, 4 door auto.

Thanks.


BTW - if your footbrake judders/creaks/stiff, use pdf spray, makes it like new.

Pdf spray?

To use that you need to be an acrobat !!!

I mentioned about the replacement of this filter when I had my car serviced as it was 2 years old. I was told that this was not done that often and that they would change it when the computer told them to Perhaps you can check with your local dealer. My dealer also told me that the part was v. expensive

I could find no trace of when it should be changed on my 2001 C270, price for mine was approx £68 so did not bother.
Sure it isn't the paper filter that should be renewed every 2 years?
