About a year ago, after driving my MBS about 5 hours to the beach, I noticed my air filter warning icon. I found a bird's nest of leaves & twigs inside the intake snorkel. Cleaned it out and it was fine. This spring...guess what, birds found it again. I cleaned it out again and attached a nylon string to a rag and stuffed it inside the snorkel (using an old aluminum arrow shaft) with a piece of red flagging on the end of the string hanging outside to serve as reminder to remove it before starting. No more nests, but how these critters find such a place to build a nest is beyond me when it is well hidden behind the grill.
