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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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

[@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.

[@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..

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.

[@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.

[@SandiCaramel]

I wish I had seen this video and had the codes when I replaced by solenoids and camshaft position sensors. Well. I'm a lady that's not afraid to get dirty and greasy. 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.

So I sprayed some brake cleaner by the fuel injectors & intake manifold gasket & immediately starts to misfire. Should I change just both intake manifold gaskets itself with fuel injectors O rings or the whole manifold itself, with new gaskets & O rings ? Would really appreciate the feedback & any tips, thanks brother!

[@iRepairAutos]

I suggest you get a new one. It doesn't have to be Mercedes but it needs to be new. I've seen too many issues with remanufactured ones.

[@richsackett3423]

Needs to be the OEM one. Pierburg. Don't try to save money on a Chinese will-fit.

Ire brudder mon. Make me a spliff... lol... Your a great mechanic, with a scientific edge...

+iRepair Autos, at 07:58, those are e-torx / inverted torx. Snap-on has an offset E10 (XLE1012A) wrench. Or, you could also try a low profile inverted torx set (106RTLE).

I have a question: When you remove the fuel rail from the intake the little caps that are on the rail are those fuel pressure regulators and can those be changed or you need to take out the whole fuel rail and replace it if the fuel regulators go bad on the fuel rails? I have a p0173 code on bank 2 and I really think it's fuel pressure that's causing that code after driving the car to getting up to operating temperature shutting the key off waiting about 20 minutes and then going back into the car the car will stutter and hesitate after turning the key but it drives normal with no hesitation but the check engine light will stay on? I'm just curious about that fuel pressure regulator that's on the fuel rails and if they can be serviced or not?

In the middle of this same repair was just wondering what you torqued the intake manifold to?

[@jsnow4040]

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

[@redixstom2147]

[@iRepairAutos]

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

[@ДмитрийВолох-к1г]

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

[@swift4311]

Is the new part OEM from the Mercedes?

[@hungvuong8100]

How much is the repair cost? How many hours for this job?

[@kennedyvyce2317]

thank you for the demo. very clear in how to change the fab battery

[@RIchardDavidson007]

How many miles did it take to replace in the intake manifold? I've only got 27,000 miles on my 2010 MB C300 V6. Also, When the time comes to tackle this project. I will be so sure of myself after watching your video of the easy and great out come of the job.

[@brentwells9506]

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.

[@joeybonilla0416]

Hey great video I am currently in the process of swapping out the intake manifold and was wondering about the gaskets how did you untie them and take it off without moving them around or anything or is there a better way to put the gaskets kn

[@Jonny-tr9qo]

Joey Bonilla what model do you have? Deciding whether to begin this process on my 2008 c350 - from what I have gathered this looks like an extensive repair. How have you faired so far?

[@joeybonilla0416]

Jonny6857 I have a 06 c230 and To be honest I got it done with no issues and the car is driving great. Not sure how much they are charging you but if you want to save some money I would do it if I was you!

[@Jonny-tr9qo]

Joey Bonilla alright thanks brother appreciate the help!

[@iRepairAutos]

I placed the screws in and before tightening them I pulled the strings out. There is s nicer way to do this with screws with the heads cut off. I have a video on this in the channel. here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rF62Zn6qhauMY9k
