Key Features for Your Website

• Circular Design Integrity: The cylindrical shape of the VA 1002 provides a significantly larger surface area compared to flat filters, allowing for superior dust-holding capacity and longer service life.
• Precision Sealing: High-quality elastomer end-caps ensure a vibration-resistant and airtight seal, preventing any unfiltered air from entering the intake tract.
• Moisture Resistance: The filter media is treated with special resins that prevent the fibers from swelling or collapsing in humid or rainy conditions, ensuring consistent airflow.
• Flame Retardancy: Built to meet strict European safety standards (Class F1), the filter will not support combustion in the event of backfire or external heat.

Installation & Maintenance

The VA 1002 is located within the airbox housing on the side of the engine. For these Mercedes-Benz models, a clean air filter can improve acceleration and throttle response instantly. We recommend replacement every 20,000 km or once a year.
