M272, M273 Intake manifold replacement P2004, P02005, P2006, C300, CLK350, E350, ML350. R350

[@blackericdenice]

So this is the reason this engine came make 258 lbs-ft from 2,400 rpm to 5,000 rpm. I just bought a 2007 C350 and it is amazing. I hit 130 mph the other day and it got there pretty quick.

[@clairebailey5392]

Couldn’t you just fix the part that was broken? Also, the part is plastic and they make metal replacements. Why spend $300-500 on a whole new intake when you could replace parts for 1/10th the cost?

[@Dnasty1]

I don't have any codes but I have a high pitched whistle noise coming from the front of the intake manifold and when sprayed with brake cleaner it goes away temporarily.. also the engine shakes a bit when the cleaner is sprayed. Does this indicate a faulty intake manifold or could there be a small leak in one of the hoses?

[@mbhmercedes-benz7822]

Adam, It seems you may have vacuum leak. Check vacuum hose that goes to Secondary air injection devices in front of the intake manifold Or if your car doesn't have vacuum pump in the back of it there's a long hose that goes to that. that can be also leaking. Bottom lines you do have a vacuum leak.

[@Dnasty1]

@@mbhmercedes-benz7822 are there any components on the front of the manifold itself that can become exposed and leak? I suspect the manifold because sometimes it will not make the whistle noise until I rev the engine which I think may be forcing the flaps to open.

[@MrNavyman53]

What are the other two actuators doing?

[@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 (2:55), 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?

[@mbhmercedes-benz7822]

Hey, Simeon check my other video with more details. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gl67inZ4gJqGh6Msi=E78yPfqLlqjjFEAK

Great video...I had this part replace on 08 Mercedes Benz clk..now 30,000 miles down the road. Code p2015 pops up,meaning runner senor. My question is ...where is that sensor located? Thank you!

[@mbhmercedes-benz7822]

Juan, They are on the back of intake on both sides. They are part of intake manifold and not sold separately. Good luck.

@@mbhmercedes-benz7822 you can buy them separately now thank God. Part # 2721530232. I thought I could get away with it until I took the secondary air pump to inspect the front & you know the rest! 😭

[@michaelbisk9311]

I need this IM replaced on my 2011 ML350. Do you know of any top MB mechanics in the NY/NJ area?

[@orlandotovar4318]

Mine is stuck closed.. Does it still move back and forth if its broken? Asking because i want to know if its the sensor or not

[@mbhmercedes-benz7822]

Replace the intake manifold.

[@nerdylicious1814]

what about the m271 ebgine, where are the flaps

[@bryanmendoza7630]

Can p2006 also affect a 2007 C230 sport?

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

Yessir. Same engine & manifold, just smaller displacement than shown here.

[@beaube1640]

How much does this cost to replace

[@samamoo4080]

Dear Beau Be. We charge 4 hours for labor to replace this type of intake manifold and for some engines that have bigger engines with less working room,say like CLK550 we charge 4.5 hours for labor. HTH, Sorry for delay. Sam

[@cliftonsargent1572]

Wtf is wrong with Mercedes’ for making that part on the manifold plastic….. and you can’t just replace that 1 part Mercedes’ makes you spend 5-600 dollars for the entire thing. How much do you charge to replace the intake manifold? I need this exact job done on my 2008 e350 and I want to know of the guy is trying to rip me off

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

That's not the worst part. Worst part is the internal runner flaps are also plastic & after the garbage on the front breaks, the internals can/will come apart & take out a few valves. The plastic will literally melt into the valves & become 1 w/ them & that's that. Part plus gaskets & fuel injector o rings is just under $700. For a new piece of plastic crap. Shop time should be about 3.5 hrs for M272 & possibly 4hrs for M273 due to tighter engine bay. I feel your pain. Car is sitting in the garage waiting for the over priced plastic now.

[@Dnasty1]

@@RothBeyondTheGrave Did you ever do this job? I found my shaking engine problem I think you experienced the same issue. It is a leak in the manifold itself for me. Were you changing the entire intake manifold? I was going to put a new manifold, gakets, fuel injector o rings and I am not sure if I should replace the plastic thing that everyone says breaks with the aluminum one that they sell.

[@mbhmercedes-benz7822]

I have discussed this procedure in great detail with the followers. Please refer to my other video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gl67inZ4gJqGh6Msi=E78yPfqLlqjjFEAK

[@clairebailey5392]

They make a lot to replace the parts for like $20-40 on Amazon that are metal.

[@jimhanson7161]

Too many steps were skipped and having parts from 2 different engines is confusing. The final section working on a component in the box is very confusing. You did not show the part you replaced?

[@OCISupport-yj5bd]

Not a switchover valve though....

[@tonyyoung6738]

How much????

[@mbhmercedes-benz7822]

The time to do the job varies from model to model. Most V6 engines take 3.5 hours to exchange the intake manifold. For more accurate price call and talk to Danielle. 757-425-8000

[@steveeschenbach284]

Don’t replace the intake. It’s gonna happen again. You can get the updated linkage made out of metal online. About 60 dollars and the problem is solved

[@OCISupport-yj5bd]

There is a ton of car carbon build up on the flaps which are made (sadly) of plastic which Mercedes-Benz is famous for becoming brittle. If you reuse the intake manifold, small pieces will be ingested into your intake (ask me how I know)....plus, there is no way to change the pivot without removing the intake manifold.....owning a Benz past their warranty expiration is a complete nightmare on these vehicles.

[@mbhmercedes-benz7822]

"Don’t replace the intake. It’s gonna happen again". Reminds me of my brother when he was about 5 or 6. He would argue with our mom to not take a shower since it is a waste of time and money because he would get dirty again.
