Re: [MBZ] Engine Swap Question
convincing people a K&N is an improvement over all other intake filters. If it were only true. I fell for the hype and bought one for my parents' '99 Suburban and '01 PT Cruiser, but found out later how damaging they can be by letting huge amounts of dirt into the engine. The Cruiser had 14Kmi on it, and needed an engine flush (according to the dealer). I took the K&N outta there and reinstalled the stock paper filter. i'll never buy another one of those, even for my RC car! I used a chrome K&N crankcase breather filter on one of my cars since it fit just right on the carb as an air filter. oil-soaked Foam filters and plastic mesh screen work the best for them.

Re: [MBZ] Engine Swap Question
Because I remember having them in my VWs and they always cleaned the air very nicely. I never had dirt in the carb or intake till someone convinced me that I needed to go to a K&N. I got rid of that after one month, you wouldn't believe the amount of dirt that got through that thing. In any case the way I drive it doesn't impact the performance (I don't race the car and that's the only time a K&N might help a little bit). Why pay all that money for a new paper filter when the one quart or so of oil is much less expensive and in my opinion does a much better job for the entire length of service then the paper which will get clogged and more restrictive as it gets near the time to replace it. Bottom line is it could just be considered a personal foible. :-) Manfred Date: Sun, 03 Feb 2008 17:44:37 -0600 From: "Kaleb C.

Also check for interferences around the filter housing. I believe the intakes will interchange, so you can stay with the W123 filter system (nicer than an oil bath, and there is an oil separator on there). It's the other way that's a huge problem (ON616 into a W115 chassis) -- the oil filter fits in the same space as the fender brace.

You nailed the biggest hurdle to such a swap; the oil filter housing. I believe the housing will interfere with the crossmember.
