One of the best how to videos I've seen. Clearly stated, step by step, no stupid background music.
Well done.
Thanks! Background music is tempting but not needed especially because it's annoying to most.
@@iRepairAutos what are the symptoms?
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.
I love to see a person who loves his art and work so much to end up doing a great job. Marvelous, just marvelous.
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.
Thanks you for very helpful video.
Where does the longer vacuum line in front of manifold connects to?
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.
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
that was a very good video. now I am absolutely sure that I don't want to do this. 😀
It's definitely not something you want to do unless you're comfortable working inside the engine compartment. Thanks for the kind words.
bought the same rebuilt brand and had it installed in my car. what a HUGH difference it made. they also had to change the MAF because it was brittle, but now it purrs.
That's good news. Make sure you get the oil drip pan changed. Or the new intake will fail again. See the how to on that part here: ua-cam.com/video/GsWqdiBHG18/v-deo.html

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.
Shawn Embrey lol u from Va bro ? im in portsmouth
How many hours did it take for the replacement? Thanks
Great video. I really appreciate you making this. I took this on myself on my 2010 base e350 v6. If you have trouble taking electrical clips you may have to pop the white part of the clip up about half a cm. Thanks again
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 :)
Wonder where did you get the aluminum lever & gasket for $50? Thanks.
where buy the lever
That's what I should have done. Bought a new aftermarket assembly and the lever broke within 600 miles. lol
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...
BTW '06 Mercedes R350
Doing all that one handed and not dropping a bolt - impressive
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
Thank you for taking the time to make and sharing this very informative video, in a few weeks I will be changing my intake manifold on my 2006 Mercedes C230 V6 and this video will definitely help 👍
George Olivas ever fix your issue? Ordered parts my Red 2006 C230 bad intake manifold. And have it shop Today
I have a CLC 230 V6, what mileage did the change happen?
how did the change end up going? my 2008 c230 just pulled a code telling me to replace them
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.
jagvette1 all good points that you have made. I find your feedback useful. Thanks!
thank you I am glad you took my comments in the spirit in which they were intended
great video..I rally need some help with this one, 2007 c350 had a broken lever so I got a repair kit and fixed it but im still getting the same code, all levers seem to be movibg freely. i need help to testing the internal check valve to the switchover solenoid i can blow and suck freely into the hose port and im thinking if its a check valve then i should not able to suck through it right? does that mean the intake has faild.. also if i active the switchover valves with scanner only the driverside clicks and opens.there no sound or movement from the passanger side.but if i power it up with jusper its working
Truly helpful video. Much more close up video than many other. Thank you.
+Gevin Rishi glad it helped. You're welcome
This is the best video on the subject. Thanks for attention to all the details!
wow it seems to be too many things take it out.But you show us every single detail, look very very helpful ,very appreciated for that. I'm going do my 2007c230 need to replace. Thanks guys.
Awesome detailed video , I have a Slk 280 and I hope it's the same procedure as you demonstrated cause I'm going to try and fix it ,It gave me 3 codes P0015,P2006,and P0410 so I'm doing my research. This helps phenomenally.
Ire brudder mon. Make me a spliff... lol... Your a great mechanic, with a scientific edge...
Thank you very much, you gave me the confidence to do it.
I just changed my r350 intake today. Thanks for the video. There were more crucial stuffs to plug out though.
Can you give me some of the one that were missed on his video. In fact if you have a video to share or anything like that to give me important advice i greatly appreciate it. Tnx in advance
Where did you buy the part from please with part numbers much appreciated
Great video, you explain this repair so well. I was pretty intimidated by watching other videos. But the way you show how to do it makes me confident in tackling this job. Thanks
It's definitely doable. Take your time. Take breaks between. In can be a back killer.
@@iRepairAutos can u remove the harnest witout disconnecting the zip ties
@@youngmack5206You must cut the zipties to do the thing easy but you don't have to replace it.
Thank you so much for the detailed easy to follow and understand video. I would have never considered doing this myself if I hadn't found this.
Irepair AutosHi I just did this on my c280, the problem I am having is the vacuum lines I think I got some mixed up. There are two ports on the intake for vacuum lines, on the old one the hose was hanging on the left side port of the intake, when looking at it from the engine bay. On your video it's hanging out of the right side but where does it go to? Please help!
Very good, video, will be saving it to my CLK inlet manifold playlist, couple of things, put some dielectric grease on the injectors to help them slide in, also clean the throttle body and MAF while you have them out,I did notice that the actuators had been replaced with the metal ones, that is why I’m taking mine off!
Great work! Helped me to realize what I need to be ready for if I'm going to stop paying the dealer unreal amounts of cash. Surely not a one day job for a beginner with Mercedes engines. Thank you!
Lever or lee-ver. Tomato tah-mato
My second time removing my intake mani. I repaired/replaced my actuators and broken flap but I didn't lock Tite my fn bolt in the middle of the flapper. It came loose it's a bad move to not use loc Tite on some applications
I ordered the intake manifold swirl repair kit because Mercedes Benz was to replace the entire exhaust system....but looking into this video im not quite sure if our local mechanics will manage the process from start to finish.
Excellent travail très propre ,lumière excellente, manipulation avec précision excellente vidéo .
This is by far the best thorough video I have seen on relating a Mercedes C class and there are many of them out there. Thank you sir for your awesome work. I hope I don’t have to do this repair anytime soon - though I have it saved and downloaded if I do. Thanks again!!!
Correction - relating - repairing- dang auto correct
Change your oil separator drip pan, change your oil with required oil type. Do these two things according to the appropriate schedule and you shouldn't have this issue. I have a video on the oil drip pan on my channel
Hi Keith - great video, I have watched it about 5 times now and feel confident enough to try it myself. How about that Manifold rebuild with the step by step guide and part numbers?
Hi Robin - thanks! Those parts are still unknown to me. They do exist because there's a company in Florida that rebuilds these things. Hoping someone in the Mercedes community will help if they know where tui get the parts.
iRepair Autos Thank you very much for getting back to me. That is not great news however. I have now bought an OEM manifold and was looking forward to following your guidance to rebuild it in the same way that I would for the removal of the old one and installation of the restored one. I live in the UK so access to TUI and it’s part sourcing will be problematic for me. I guess I will have to have a go and see how I get on. I might be emailing you as I go, if I get stuck. 🥺
The oem one that you bought is it used and damaged? Why do you want to rebuild it?
Great video. I have a question, are there any other parts I can change while I have the manifold out? Anything else that might fail but that I could replace now that I have the manifold out
It might be some vaccum hoses. it is not easy while the manifold is already installed.
Very informative, keep helping folks kind sir
Thank you for the video. I'm doing this project right now on a 2007 c280 4matic. The center actuator capsule broke from the pivot point so I'm replacing those parts with new updated aluminum parts. This video showed me ahead of time what I'm getting Into. I have star c4 that I could pull up step by step but still good to watch first
Yeah those plastic pieces on the intake manifold are the worst brittle batch of parts I've ever seen. Good luck with the job. It's tedious but not too bad.
@@iRepairAutos I got the intake out now. I'm about to put on the new parts as we speak and put it back in
Do u remember the torque specs for intake manifold
Do you know much a mechanic would charge for this job? I got the same car and the code for it has been coming up for a while now
@@mikes6067 I know it ranges from $3,000 to $5,000 depending on where u go obviously the higher cost is at the dealership. I personally dont rob ppl and I have the star diagnostic system the same software as the dealership has so I can clear codes program modules do coding all that. And I promise to do any job for 50 percent less than dealership. I help customers find the parts for as cheap as possible i dont mark up price on parts i let customer buy them personally and the rest is for my labor
There is also a small vaccum hose in front the intake that has to be connected its in front of the secondary air pump
This is so cool..am trying to lose and clean my fuel injectors for Mercedes glk 350. 2010 model ..I wish I can get more ideas from you
Good morning Sr. Good video but we need secrecy tie and torque. Can You Please supply. Thanks.
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.
There’s a vacuum line that goes over the manifold that comes from under the air pump that I don’t know how to remove. It’s stopping me removal as it goes under fuel rail. How to remove? Little yellow plastic tube. I noticed your pump is removed at end of video
send me a picture of your and we can take it from there. keith.joi at gmail dot.com
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, always learning with your videos.
I have a 2007 mercedes ML 350 and with the help of your video ,I replaced the actuators and kit with new intake gaskets,I completed the job and it runs very good,but I have a problem that I hope you can help me with.I hooked my snap on scanner up and can't communicate with the vehicles ECM to clear the codes. Wi-fi is connected,the DLC connector fuse 7.5a does work and ECM connectors are connected properly, Any ideas ?
Also. What would make the smaller swirl flap to sides. Not the center one but i have one to farthest right,it has popped out where it goes into manifold. Any idea what would have caused that?
Cheap plastic parts that get brittle from the heat of the engine.
Great video to show!, I accidentally broke the crank position sensor while removing on R350, gasoline engine 😪. I am so sad and depressed how to remove the broken part stills in the hole. Thinking how to make access to drill this broken part and remove. I would appreciate if you can let me know if I remove the intake manifold then there is any space for me to access to. Desperate for you replying. Thank you
Can I take out the fuel rail first? Or wait until I take it out with the manifold? I see some takr out the rail and injectors first also the engine ears at the end do u take them out or just loosen them?
Love your channel..and it helps me big time being I try to do most of my own work..I have a 2006 e350 and I wanted to ask being I just purchased a new engine manifold..if I have to thread the holes that hold the manifold to the engine..because the manifold I purchased the holes that hold it to the engine aren't threaded..is that normal??..and if so what do you suggest in threading these holes..thankyou so much for your content and as always keep up the good work
Hi. I was wondering if you had a vacuum line over top of the manifold? I didn't see it in the video. If you did have this where does it connect to? I know it goes to the secondary injection pump
Excellent tutorial. My 2007 CLK350 got the code P2006 Runner control stuck closed bank 1a. Can you tell me what part I should I check and fix after taking it out, how to clean the buildup inside so it won't stuck again? Also, can you list the torque for each bolt?
Can you please give me a list of all the torx sockets and drivers I need in order to remove the manifold
thank you for the demo. very clear in how to change the fab battery
I really enjoy your videos... I like all of the details
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!
Wha'ppen Keith! Nice to hear a Jamaican voice UA-cam. Anyway, washed to ask...is there a spray or some other good way of cleaning out the gunk inside the manifold to save it and prevent the possibility of the flaps sticking or breaking?
Big up mi Youth! Ocean Foam is probably the best. I have a video on cleaning it... Here: ua-cam.com/video/GsWqdiBHG18/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching and the hail up.
@@iRepairAutos what's up sir can u give information on taking off those vacuum lines in the front
thanks for shearing this video, i would be duing this pretty soon my question is, is not a good idea to change the injector seals?
+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).
@irepair autos I followed your video so easily. Never done anything like this and even though I have a question I have no regrets. So I put everything back together following in reverse of course and I have a small black pliable rubber tube that I noticed disconnected from somewhere. I have research and I don’t have a clue. I have a 2007 C230 sport V6 that I repaired the actuators on. I have a pic of it but I can’t get it to attach. Please guide me the best you can guess.
How'd he get the strings back off, from holding the gaskets?
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
One hand repair...EPIC
replaced my flap actuator trying to see movement while its installed in car rev engine see no movement before reinstalling intake everything moved smoothly all vacuum lines attached thanks for any help will still pull a p2004 code!
do the injectors have to go back in the same place, ie don't mix them up. would they have to be reprogrammed if they went back in different order?
Great video
How to disconnect and reconnect two black rubber tubes
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 …
PLEASE ADVISE: my check engine light just came on. The car is still running smoothly. I'm pretty sure that its my intake manifold. But, as easy as you've made everything look, I don't think I can fix it.
How much should it cost if I take it to the repair shop and how do I make sure that I don't get ripped-off?
Hello,
Very informative video.
Please how do you know when your Intake Manifold needs replacement?
+Be enlightened I'll create a video going over everything
iRepair Autos ok thanks. looking forward to it.
I believe it has its own fault code P0170 if I'm not mistaken....and to the Technician that posted this video, what a fair price to pay for the labor involved with this job? labor only...thank you
It's P2006
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?
I enjoyed your video most enlightening.. I have question I'm replacing my throttle body mine is stuck open , will I have to reset it afterwards ... If so can it be done manually or does it need scan tool
Hi I have a problem whit miss fire I change power coils and sparks plugs and am still having miss fire the next thing am going to change is the intake manifold gasket you that could be the problem thanks
Hey Man just finished watching this whole vid! I am preparing to do a repair on my intake manifold soon, and as it needs to come out I would to know what are you torquing the main bolts? I'm highly OCD on what each bolt should be Torqued to!
Intake manifold install E10 bolts(8ea) - 9Nm
others - Not that important but 8~10Nm is best
How do you get the steak bracket off
You took a bolt off the bracket which there is 2 not one but even after taking both off it won’t min 14 30 seconds
14:30
“ slide “ right out
Curious how you’re supposed to take that off ?
If ur middle plastic piece broke can u take the secondary air sensor off and replace it that way
Thank you. it is very informative. It would be very helpful if you could also share what were the symptoms. Why you ended up changing manifold. Was it broken flaps? How did you know the problem? Also what was the kilometer/miles of your car? Thank you again for this wonderful video.

My car currently have the p2006 code and it states “system too rich idle bank “ my r350 drives smoothly but sometimes shifts from drive to neutral while drive around 40-50mph.
Hope this helps.
Awesome video. Its timely that i stumbled on your video. Just had my engine light cone on today and i have a Mercedes 2011 C300. I have a p0300 code- although the car seems to drive fine and it doesnt appear ro be idling rough. I am going to have the dealership replace they spark plugs although they did not do that when i pad for Schedule B service to be done at 60Kmiles- go figure. I hope i dont have a problem with my Intake Manifold. Car has 96300 miles.
p0300 could be caused by a few things and is usually followed by a p0301 to p0306 depending on which cylinder misfired.
If it was related to the Intake Manifold then there would be other codes that are associated with the intake manifold. Don't wish bad things on yourself.
I would start by resetting the CEL and see if it comes back.
If and when it does come back check the following
1. coil (swap out that coil with another one on the engine and reset the CEL again this is to see if the misfire follows the coil. If it's the coil get a new one. I have a video on my channel that shows how to change out the coil. Here: ua-cam.com/video/MoZCG_oMT_4/v-deo.html
Faulty spark plugs cause misfires repeatedly... So I would leave that as the last to check/change.
Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
Yea- I ended up correcting it after installing a new set of spark plugs. I subscribed. Best source of Mercedes repair videos as far as I am concerned. Thanks again
Glad you were able to get it sorted out.
Did you forget the vacuum lines 2 of them ? I did mine and broke the plastic nozzle l and had to purchase a whole new manifold / I was doing the job to replace the leaver only but one I broke the vacuum nozzle I have to buy a new manifold be careful, other videos show the removal of these lines
S K i went to the dealer just to ask if they have an old one laying around they wanted to scrap anyways. The parts guy told me about a few parts of that manifold which can be purchased separate, there are two small kind of sensors I guess which are on the very bottom on the front, I broke one of the nozzles for the vacuum lines by accident, or maybe it already was broken. The reason for my repair was the actuator I replaced but I now have another issue. It was already to late for the next day delivery before a three day weekend, so I by passed the sensor by just connecting the in and out hoses together. I put it back together and the car seems to run fine, but I still want to fix it a 100%. Anyways I just wanted to point out that there are a few parts outside of the manifold you can buy separate, I always thought you had to buy the whole thing, except for the actuator an runner parts, since they break very commonly
Please help me to find the IMRC sensor on the 2008 MB e350 4matic? I keep getting OBD code p2015 despite inspection that appears normal.
Hi,
I just followed your instruction to change the intake manifold on a 2010 ML350. I put a brand in intake, cleaned the fuel injectors and repacked crank shaft oil drip cover. Now when I start the car gas is leaking from the injectors and it hard to start the car. What could have I have missed to plug back in?
Please help
Near the back of the manifold...the throttle body is in the middle..my question is what are the name of those black looking sensor located at each end?
thanks,very informative and thanks again.how much would it cost to do this work for 2010 c300 ( material and labor)thaks
Shop rate at 4 to 6 hours. Parts at dealer vary, but I've seen them online for 400 to 600
Hey this is a great video I think I’m ready to perform this task but I have one more question. When I went to a mechanic they told me that Ima need the genuine part from the Mercedes dealership is that true or a remanufactured part will work just find? I would really appreciate if you can reply back as soon as possible so I can get this annoying problem fixed
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.
Needs to be the OEM one. Pierburg. Don't try to save money on a Chinese will-fit.
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?
My 05' Mercedes C240 smoke from tail pipe for a few seconds after starting the car I also hear a ticking noise from engine and also I have the P0410 code with cylinder 2 misfiring time to time I am puzzled and want to do the repairs myself but do not know where to start you seem very educated with this engine any suggestions? Thanks
Can you change my manifold
Wonder if anyone has been able to sneak that center pivot arm bolt out without removing the intake?
Would be niiiice if someone had a McGyver trick for that job.
I am referring to the plastic pivot arm that the front of engine intake vacuum actuators are connected to in which the center actuator arm snaps off from the center pivot arm.
There is not enough room to access and replace that center pivot arm bolt apparently and this requires removal of the intake manifold.
I was wishing the same thing when I started.... The bolt is too long and doesn't come out all the way because of clearance issues + what every tool you would use. I still think it's possible but I wasn't able to pull it off.
How could i convince a shop to replace that for me instead of the whole manifold?
Can you show me how to put the cliff at the back of the air intake manifold which hold the air filter cover down. It felt off from my 2007 ML350 when I tried to pulled it up and over the filter cover at at back.
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.
Car wizard used super glue to attach the gasket on mating surface.
Great video, thanks for posting! I am going to have to face this at some point. Just pulled a 0521 code, but do not yet have check engine light.
i have the same code today !! ho did you fx it please help !!!
p0521 , please tell me i went to many workshops
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!!!
the two nipples on the front of the manifold where the small vacuum hoses broke. Are these nipple assemblies replaceable?
Yes. Finding the parts are next to impossible
I just did mine but I noticed the flaps or arms move only when you rev high is that normal? I thought that it shouldmove at all times low idle and steady 2000 rpm am I wrong ? I want to make sure its not defective ..
Hey iRepair Auto, were you able to get back with Carlis on his question about P0304 #2 misfire? Reason being is that i'm going through a random misfire (P0305/P0300 code permanently) that's primarily showing up as a cylinder #5. I'm thinking a faulty injector (cylinder#5) to be the culprit being that. Reason being is because every time i get on it on the freeway the check engine light will come on. Now i'll pull over, shut the engine off, start it back up and the check engine light will go off...until i get on it again. I hear that the problem can range from multiple sources but the one thing that stands out to me is i can tell that i'm losing some compression from somewhere noticeably when i break stall the car in reverse. it just kind of bogs. I ran these diagnostics through my scanner-MB2 (eg. Intake manifold Absolute Pressure 29.0 kPa ,AFR from Mass Flow Sensor 4.66 g/s, and Fuel Rail Pressure 380 kPa) and really don't know what to make of these readings,as far as set points go, seeing that i'm totally new to the foreign car experience. Thanks
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..
Did you ever end up changing them? Looking to do it on my 04 ml350
I need this IM replaced on my 2011 ML350. Do you know of any top MB mechanics in the NY/NJ area?
Does anyone know, what should be the status of the Manifold in carsoft OBD reader? Mine always says “ short” as a position or status regardless of what is the RPM or speed of the car? Is this normal?
Great instructional video. Why didn't you replace the fuel injector parts?
That's a another video.
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
Sorry
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.
You are THE MASTER
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?
Great job and liked your previous explanation of the flap process/operation-- so the levers, etc are in the front but hidden
As you probably know that is nothing but a breakdown waiting to happen, I mean cheap thin plastic combined with underhood heat = breakage. Do you work for MB? Asking due to your wrench
You know I have used Permatex #2 to hold things in place-- an alternative to the string but if you are used to that method
