2003 Mercedes C180 Kompressor. When start getting code P0172.

Question edited for clarity and it is P- Zero, not P- letter Oh.

All the reasons for P0172 running rich.

https://www.google.com/search?q=2003+Mercedes+C180+Kompressor.+When+start+getting+code+P0172

Connect it to a professional grade scan tool computer and it will tell you exactly which component is causing the issue. It needs fixing quickly, because when the system thinks it is running rich it compensates by making it run lean, adding less fuel and more air which overheats pistons, bores and worst of all burns valves.

Where is an oil filter located at on an olds alero 2003 ecotec 2.2

Follow the air intake hose to the throttle body at the engine. Beneath it you'll see a black top with a raised hexagonal protrusion. This is the canister that contains the oil filter. You'll need a 32mm socket to remove the top to access the filter.

Where is IAT sensor located on 2004 f350 5.4L V8

2004 Heritage & Lightning ( guess this is your config, with posted in 2003 section ).

Looking at the engine, the air filter housing is the large round tube on the right hand side ( driver's side or left when reading descriptions )
The IAT is in the pleated section of the intake ( factory intake ) to the left of the air filter, about where the power steering fluid reservoir is at ( it should be pointing towards the back of the truck ).
Small black connector with a plastic wire loom on it.

2004 Non heritage ( New Body Style ) :
It is on the side of the large housing that holds the air filter ( on the stock intake, not a FIPK kit from K&N or the likes ).

Looking at the engine, the air filter housing and tray are on the top ( 2 latches hold the air filter tray in ), on the right hand side just behind the top of the T shape ( looking down on it ).

The connector should be black with a trace of red on it.

Where is the oil filter for 1998 e320 Mercedes Benz

This car does not use the common "spin on" style oil filter. It uses a cartridge style (common back in the 1950s and 60s) style oil filter. The filter housing is located on the top front of the engine on the driver's side. The filter element is accessed by removing the black plastic top of the filter housing. Wrap a rag around the plastic top and very carefully use a pair of slip joint ( aka Channelloc) pliers to remove the top of the housing. It is a normal right hand thread and screws off. The filter element is found inside.

Oil & Fuel Filter change on Mercedes A Class

It is a cartridge type and is situated behind the engine near the body on the left side. You can see it clearly as it looks like a black can with a big nut on top. To make it easier when you look at your engine your fuel filter is on top and the oil is just left from it little down. Hope this helps.
