OE 0040943304 — Air Filter for Mercedes-Benz

Standard minimum order is 10 pieces per part number. Mixed orders that combine 0040943304 with other engine & fuel system references are welcome — that is how most clients fill an LCL or FCL container without over-stocking a single line.

For a short distance at reduced load, usually yes — but the risk compounds. A degraded air filter transfers stress to neighbouring components, so a small repair can grow into a full engine & fuel system rebuild. Book the replacement once the symptom is repeatable.

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 0040943304; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.

Report it with the order number and packing-list line plus photographs. Because every carton is photographed before loading, we can trace the batch immediately and settle the claim against the inspection record instead of arguing from memory.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

A supersession happens when the maker revises a air filter and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit. Where we know a supersession chain for 0040943304 we list the current reference; ask our desk for written confirmation before a large order.
