Well in the process of chasing my bad starts and low pick up power in my 1990 300CE 24 valve, I am going to try a fuel filter change. However, can someone give me an idea of whether this is a difficult job? Plus where is the fuel filter? What happens to the pressurisation of the fuel?
Cheers guys

The fuel is pressurised after the filter. You can check the filter location by checking your car against the attached database.

Just drill down to the fuel system.

Your filter is in line with the fuel pump, drivers side at the rear of the car, do it when the tank is very low, then when you jack it , not too much fuel will be lost, make sure the arrow is pointing to the front of car.
