Did you change this part due to a problem, or just preventively to avoid problems in the future? ..also after changing it, di you experienced an improvement in mileage?
This was a $3,700 repair on our 2008 GL320 cdi. Luckily the mechanic found an oil cooler leak that he fixed for the same price + parts since The top and was already disassembled.
@@HowtoRestoreHeadlights this was a better price because the dealer wanted way way more. Now I just have two injectors with the black death I’m dealing with.
Nope. You must remove them! If you drop anything down one of the ports and into the cylinder. You can kiss your motor good bye. So remove them and keep it on the Safe side. I’m sure it can be done. With leaving them on. But how good of a Mechanic are you? I’m 70 years old been wrenching all my life. I would not attempt it that way!!

Anyone know torque wrench settings for bolting the intake manifold back to the cylinder head? Don't want to "feel" the bolts tite with it being a aluminium head. Any help much appreciated.
@@jamesmiller7911 most of us know these kinds of things when we buy german automobiles. but we do it anyway so we arent left driving the styling of a japanese product. this is the least of the issue with this engine (oil cooler gasket and timing chain stretch $3500 each to fix
Oil gasket cost in Europe 7€ each. If you change with your hands are 14€. And if you change ALL at the same time you save time or money. This motor have ALL problems in the same zone TURBO/ADMISION/EXHAUST MAINFOLDS. If you resolved this problems and you make a good maintenance this motor is infinite.
When I had this failure happen, it cost me $2700 USF to get repaired.... One positive thing is that I had an major oil cooler leak that I had got quoted a 3500 from the dealer for the repair . The shop fix my swirl flap motor issue only charge me for parts since topping was already tore down. Wish I would’ve known about this part three years ago.
What about the 3 shaft arms and the 3 shafts? If the long linkage is worn, the shaft arms MUST BE WORN too! You go all this way to remove the manifold, I would fix it right! Do u have the 3 arm replacements and u can remove and replace? And can u remove the white pieces and at least check for play or clean up the shafts?
Hi there, we find that simply replacing the connecting runner arm is enough to repair this issue, we have not had any feedback from customers stating that the shaft arms needed replacing also. - Georgina, X8R Ltd

noone should remove or fix swirl flaps, bcause the engine needs it, and it wont have 510Nm torque.. you cant have the same power with ECU modifying... or you will have turbo lag
@@blektheone17 Think about the logic of what you are claiming. YOU claim that when the flaps are WIDE OPEN during 510Nm events that REMOVING them would LOWER that number... Sorry friend MANY people have deleted them and dyno testing proves you are wrong. They are a greenie add, not for power. The very first versions didn't have the EGR or the swirl system it was ALL FOR NOX..... There is a reason 2001 dodge cummins turbo diesels are still 10k, they predate all that crap. I believe you are confusing swirl flaps with VGR flaps in the turbo.....
Absolutely the worst engine ever built. Some would say durable yes. But from a technician standpoint repairs are incredibly expensive. Never ever ever buy a Mercedes with OM642 engine ever.
Thanks for this video saved me a lot money from the Mercedes dealership

after how many miles did this problem come about?
@@pmadjidi 120k. I think if I did not have an oil cooler leak, an oil catch can may of worked to keep the intake cleaner.
I hate 😒 oil cooler leak
I love the video
Is it possible to perform this modification with the intake manifolds still on the engine? Taking them off is a massive pain . . .
Nope. You must remove them!
If you drop anything down one of the ports and into the cylinder. You can kiss your motor good bye.

20 plus quarter turn.
It's the German torque value, güt n tought
@@hvguy that's not farfromstripp'in.
plastic. does anyone actually believe that the engineers did not know that this would break?
Plastic parts are extremely cheap to produce. It's all about saving money for the manufacturers.

Bought a repair kit, but I also need new 'rotating arms' at the two ends - anyone know where i can find them? (2.55 - 3.05)
also full kit is available on this site for around 50 USD
do these really warrant a price tag of £85
Hi how much does it cost to do that intake repair?
Save yourself a huge amount of time and money and delete the shafts and flaps all together. My 07 gls doesn’t know the difference.
Hi, did you have the offending holes welded up please? - I'm struggling to find a welder who's willing to take the job on lol
