Mercedes Intake Manifold Replacement DIY HD

[@nv1493]

One of the best how to videos I've seen. Clearly stated, step by step, no stupid background music. Well done.

[@iRepairAutos]

Thanks! Background music is tempting but not needed especially because it's annoying to most.

[@daveycrockett9447]

Been a subscriber for some time - but just have to say for anyone who owns a Mercedes with a W204 engine - this is by far the best resource for a DIY mechanic. And replacing the intake manifold is not an easy task. Alot of steps - and you detailed it meticulously. Thanks for the excellent video.

[@RIchardDavidson007]

I love to see a person who loves his art and work so much to end up doing a great job. Marvelous, just marvelous.

[@mattallen8198]

Thank you for providing this helpful video! I had the same issue as did a huge number of Mercedes owners. No recall even with all of the complaints. Mercedes knows they have flawed plastic flap rods and rotator. Sad. The large number of repair videos on this intake manifold should tell you how bad the design was. Anyway, I replaced mine before there was engine damage with a rebuilt intake with metal replacement parts. Bought it on ebay for $300 3 years ago. Now they have an aftermarket brand new one on ebay for under $200. It runs great now. No issues. It wasn't that hard of a repair, just time consuming.

[@jigarpatel8122]

Thanks you for very helpful video. Where does the longer vacuum line in front of manifold connects to?

[@MrShawnembrey]

Just did this on my sister's 2007 R350. This video was such a big help. The string to hold the gaskets was the best part. Started right up and intake codes cleared. Thank you for your guidance through this entire project! What would have costed her over $3,000, only costed her about $500 for the intake and gaskets. Oh, and for me to drive from Virginia beach to Manassas Virginia for 2 days.

[@wpny10606]

Great video with all of the important details, Thanks! As mechanically inclined as I am, I took this job to my mechanic after seeing the video

[@Timelyencounter]

Thank you for this step by step informative video! I got stood up by two mechanics to have my intake manifold replaced, lost time and money. SO I followed your instructions and did it myself. I disconnected all of the ignition coil harnesses which gave me more space and there were like 2 or three clips to disconnect once you lift the manifold. The install went smoothly and I'm back up and running. Guess I should have just sacrificed the time and did this 3 months ago...

[@jeremyfitzgerald6324]

I've started with a 99 Mercedes and am now grown into a 2006 Mercedes ml350. Through this there have been a ton of issues, but your videos have been a relief. I don't know what I would've done without these videos. I've had electrical problems with my radio and a high pitched sound that had drained my tank sized battery within days. So it is now off. I'm going to replace this manifold and purge valves hose and tackle that next. Thank you and if I could do anything else to help, I design websites and can help market online for you. I know how smart you are, but other than subscribing, I'd love to help too. Thank you

[@Chuckles1418]

Doing all that one handed and not dropping a bolt - impressive

[@speedlimit6869]

A very clear and descriptive video.. I’ve already replaced the manifold but my car will not start due to priming issues.. I got fuel up at the nut on the rail but when I check the bleeder valve no fuel comes out.

[@vincentfreeman539]

Great video, thanks so much for posting. I just did this job slowly and carefully following your instructions (and a couple of other vids) over a weekend on my R350 and it worked out perfectly. Fitted an aluminum lever to my old intake rather than fit a new one. Did this job for the cost of the gaskets and the new lever - about $50 all in :)

[@tedlu008]

Wonder where did you get the aluminum lever & gasket for $50? Thanks.

[@geniusO2]

where buy the lever

[@shawna7813]

That's what I should have done. Bought a new aftermarket assembly and the lever broke within 600 miles. lol

[@rhyno9798]

How'd he get the strings back off, from holding the gaskets?

[@CollegeBoyTrey]

Are the new gaskets still needed for the old intake manifold that i’m putting back in?

[@xyouthe]

after watching this video, i can say with 100% certainty that changing the intake manifold adjuster linkage is NOT a 4.5 hour job at $150/hr (~$670). thank you so much for the information, this looks more like it would be a 2-3hr job. the quote i got is off the rails.

[@speedlimit6869]

It’s not a two to three hour job it’s exactly what the quote is… because this video doesn’t show everything… speeding up and clip scenes turns it into a 20 minute time slot.. and he didn’t finish putting it together.. you really don’t appreciate real skills.. the 4hours is actually pretty quick.. do it yourself and then talk to me ..the time is always correct…it’s how much they charge an hour is where the problem lies… and it continues to climb..

[@xyouthe]

[@jagvette1]

As always great video and even though I am a mechanic with well over 30 years experience I always like to watch these videos rather than struggle to locate hidden bolts etc. I would like to make a couple of comments when referring to items in a car Left or Right this is done when sitting in the car not facing the engine other wise it can get confusing, also as there are both left and right hand drive cars its a good idea not to refer to driver or passenger sides, one other item when inserting the injectors it is always a good idea to lubricate the seals I use dielectric grease or WD40.I hope you don't take my comments as criticism I am merely giving my thoughts.This is a really great video and I shall be doing this on my wife's car and will be referring to it many times I'm sure, keep them coming.

I purchased the after market replacements. My code is for stuck open. I'm more confident that I can do this once I get a sturdy step stool. I'm 4'10". Lol. I replaced my serpentine belt and pulleys 4 years ago after the mechanic replacement failed in days. I noticed there was a metal fray on a pulley, tearing the belt. I replaced them and sanded/smoothed the old pulleys for back ups just in case. Saved about $2000. Wish me luck on this repair this weekend.

I used fishing string to hold the gaskets.It did not line up correctly the first time and the car ran badly with a misfire so I had to take it all apart again, went quicker second time and the gaskets held. A Benz tech friend of mine said he uses long bolts with the heads cut off as gasket guides and slides the gaskets down on the guide bolts, installs the intake and replaces the bolts with the factory bolts one by one...he said DONT use hi tack sealant on gaskets! These intakes should be replaced if front armature breaks as the plastic inside is made of same junk plastic that broke on the armature. There are videos out there showing broken plastic pieces that came apart and ruined engines from the plastic internals coming apart like the front armatures do. Have torque specs available, replace the fuel injector o rings, and have fun with that pesky throttle body connector at the bottom of the throttle body...it was the hardest part of the whole job, the clip does not spring out well.

great video however i broke the nipple off of the sensor that the hose hooks to what is the name of the sensor so that i may purchase another one. Also there was another hose coming out of the other side of the manifold which broke from the manifold whilst I was removing it. Is that hose repairable the connection goes into the manifold. Also there was another electrical connection underneath the manifold, but I didnt break it. However it wasnt on the video.

hello. do you install a repaired, refurbished manifold? there is a video of repair of a collector?

[@jbbeltran379]

i have 2007 e350 mercedes where can i buy the mercedes intake manifold replacement

[@ajj3939]

Good video! The only thing that I do differently is spraying penetrating oil at the base of the injectors before removal, then twisting the injector will loosen it in the intake. Also I use grease on the injector o-rings before install. Good job though!

[@swift4311]

Is the new part OEM from the Mercedes?

[@amorchekkal3008]

Excellent travail très propre ,lumière excellente, manipulation avec précision excellente vidéo .

[@cvictormcknight7907]

Hello, I appreciate all of your great detailed videos. I just replace my intake manifold gaskets on my W211 E350. When I looked inside the engine, there is a lot of oil build up on the parts. What can I do to clean that out?

[@roseannaayala1487]

How much does it normally cost to remove intake manifold and repair the linkage and replace an air pump?

[@iRepairAutos]

Dunno, I stay away from dealerships unless it’s under warranty

[@JeremyDennis-t6w]

What is the proper spark plug gap for the m272 engine

[@jsnow4040]

One bolt on my throttle body housing is stripped what do u suggest

[@speedlimit6869]

The T-30 bit and then a E-10 socket for the bolts. 4:25

[@MrRaydizzle78]

What is the price parts and labor for this that I can expect to pay I just got a 2006 c230 … the previous owner says may need coil … or Intake gasket … I found that a loud pop happens as well as a wicked mis fire .. while running car seemed like it wanted to overheat I stopped to put water in and seen that looked as if someone put stop leak in … codes presented on obd 0073 and a ton of misfire and lean codes …

[@redixstom2147]

Thx very much very info plz tell me is i have to drain coolant or not

[@iRepairAutos]

+redixs tom no you don't need to drain coolant for this job.

[@ryancenator]

Great video.. i think i have to replace Fuel injectors... since i am getting white smoke when idling i have an ML 320 W164... I would gladly accept any comments on his type of problem.. like is it worth changing the Injectors..etc..

[@robertnewhook5115]

Did you ever end up changing them? Looking to do it on my 04 ml350

[@garrengraves8881]

I used this guide to replace my manifold and it worked fine, the problem was not fixed but that’s because it wasn’t the manifold that was broken. Also, the nuts that you need the socket for are size E10 and not T10

[@trutube5955]

So what was the problem?

[@3rkowtf669]

Great video, so just curious the three plastic diaphragms in front of the manifold or any connection points or the rods can’t be serviced without removing the whole manifold first?

[@iRepairAutos]

Very difficult because of the almost zero clearance in the area

[@3rkowtf669]

Thank you

[@danmarkcruz7690]

Good Morning I was wondering if you know where is the intake manifold bank 1 sensor located? I’m getting a P0215 code it’s says thermostat and bank 1 intake manifold bank 1 sensor. I have a 2006 C230

[@SimeonDimitrov-350]

Hello guys. A little help please(P2006 - no check engine light,though ) It doesn't look like anything is damaged with me, but after pressing one of the levers as you do in the clip, it stays in the same position and does not return.,at the same time it moves hard. What do you think the problem might be? 🙄

[@iRepairAutos]

Gunk build up internally to this part

[@CL500MBZ]

The video is great, there are some steps that could be improved to simplify the reconnect of the harnesses which i wish you would have recorded

[@iRepairAutos]

Sorry

[@markmoore7462]

Very good video with step by step instructions. I’m a DIY, I have to replace my intake of 09 GL 450. What did you use to clean the injectors. If you have a video and a preference product to clean the injectors please provide the link. Again.... very good video!!!

[@biggechevy7320]

My 2007 s550 throttle has no response so I pulled a code p2101 throttle body actuator. Can I reset the actuator or do I really need to replace?

[@mizzow1740]

What was the actual fault? Did you show the problem the manifold was taken apart for? In case I missed it.
