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.
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?
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?
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 with all of the important details, Thanks!
As mechanically inclined as I am, I took this job to my mechanic after seeing the video
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!
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.
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
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.
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
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
This is the best video on the subject. Thanks for attention to all the details!
Truly helpful video. Much more close up video than many other. Thank you.
+Gevin Rishi glad it helped. You're welcome
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.
I really enjoy your videos... I like all of the details
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
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
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, always learning with your videos.
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
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: ruclips.net/video/GsWqdiBHG18/видео.html

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
thank you for the demo. very clear in how to change the fab battery
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.
Great video. You did a good job and were very clear
Excellent travail très propre ,lumière excellente, manipulation avec précision excellente vidéo .
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.
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!
موضوع وتصوير جميل بارك الله لك يا معلم
Nice video getting me ready for my next project
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?
This was really well done. Kudos! And Thank you!
Well done diy video. Grateful for all the tips!
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..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
Nice Vid Bro. Ive got a CLS 350 with the same Problem. Tomorrow i will replace it too.
Great video. Great quality. And very informative.
+Jorge Servin thanks!
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.
just found your channel, thanks for the great video. what else should be replaced while doing this job? gaskets, actuator flap arm etc? if not buying a new manifold
Hello. Thanks for the video! I do have a question about the vacuum lines on the front of the intake. Are any of the small green vacuum lines connected to the manifold? I know 2 of the green lines are connected to the solenoids, but it looks like one or more gets connected to the front of the manifold? Is that correct and if so, where does it connect? Thank you
Thanks for your video. Very helpful.
Great video by the way 👌
Thanks for video. My 2011 GL450 is throwing P0430 catalyst code and I know I need need intake manifold eventually (stored codes intermittently). Could the P0430 be part of the intake manifold?
I appreciate this channel ur so detail thank you very much%%%%
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
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.
how can you remove the throttle body harness in car or when you remove intake manifold . my suv, its hard to get or see back there r 350
In the middle of this same repair was just wondering what you torqued the intake manifold to?
+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).
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!
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
Nice video, I already suscribed,
I just bought this car and it has a mysterious unconnected plug, that I cannot find a place to put...
will take intake this friday so this video is fantastic. I will take it out to replace that front leveler
Hey thanks for the kind words. Take a pic of the mysterious unconnected plug (up close) then take another pic with more components around it and I will locate what it is plugged into for you.
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!
Very informative, keep helping folks kind sir
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
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?
great video
Great vids
Great video. What are the torque values needed for the bolts?
What are the all the tools needed to replace the intake manifold on this engine ? I may need to replace mine soon. TIA
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
Thanks for very good video
hello. do you install a repaired, refurbished manifold? there is a video of repair of a collector?
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?
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
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!!!
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?
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?
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 ..
Most excellent, thanks.
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
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?
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
they do sell a actuator kit I had to replace mine also
Doing all that one handed and not dropping a bolt - impressive
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?
Ire brudder mon. Make me a spliff... lol... Your a great mechanic, with a scientific edge...
If ur middle plastic piece broke can u take the secondary air sensor off and replace it that way
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?
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 …
Very helpful video. At the fuel rail of my CLK 280 I shortly deteced after starting the engine in the morning some fuel escape at the rund part (pressure-valve?) situated between the injectors at the rail .Is it possible to replace the rail without removing the manifold or is it even possible to replace this certain pressure-valve?
Glad the video helped. You do not have to remove the air intake manifold to remove/ replace the rail. You should be able to remove and replace the diaphragm but I haven't tried. Will check later and let you know.
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
You are THE MASTER
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.
What are all the tools needed exactly ?? Please help I’m about to start mine today
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
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
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?
Thank you very much, you gave me the confidence to do it.
What are the torque specs for the throttle body to intake and the other intake torque specs ?
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
good video, let me ask you when the intake manifold actuator is broken the automatic transmission no shift gear?
A broken intake manifold should not prevent the transmission from shifting.
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.
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
Are the new gaskets still needed for the old intake manifold that i’m putting back in?
thank you
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!
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.
Whats the part # for Intake Manifold Runner Control Replacement
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
