How do you change the fuel filter on a 2000 Mercedes Benz c230 Kompressor?

Question

I have a 2000 c230 Kompressor, 4 cyln. However, I don't even know where the fuel filter is located. Can anyone tell me exactly where the fuel filter is and how to change it? Pictures would be nice.

Answer 1

take it to a independent MB mechanic, then WATCH him do it.  Can be tricky, some of those models have TWO filters

One in the back, near the base of the fuel tank (near the fuel pump) and one under the hood.

As with all things MB, it is overly complex and a serious @ss-pain !

Answer 2

There two filters on the benz the first one is at the rear of car, the fuel pump from tank pmp to filter easy to change dont have to do anything special as the only fuel that will come out is in the line and filter as fuel pump from tank vlve is closed.

  the second filter is the one changed like every 40k miles as the one at tank  like every 100k miles.

the second filter is located in fuel line just before injection so you maybe have to remove the breather to get to or see.. another inline filter.. easy..

         good luck
