Great video! I just got done with my lever replacement fix. I would recommend for people doing this job to buy replacement vacuum hose. I found many of mine deteriorated (2008 c300). An added note : slice the hose with a razor blade longitudinally at the nipple of the map sensor. I guess over time, the plastic map senor nipple gets weak. When I was pulling on the vacuum hose, the nipple tore off. (new map senor = $54.00).

Great workflow, i'm sure a mechanic shop will try to charge me 4 hours for this job and the dealer would charge 20. I think I can do it myself after watching this vid. My intake manifold is making a high pitch whistle noise in the front area. Does this mean I need a whole new manifold or is it likely one of those rubber/plastic hoses that sit in the front? Also was curious why you did not unplug the ecu? Lastly (sorry for all the questions) I was considering going with the chinese made intake manifold for 1 beacuse its cheap but also because it has aluminum flapper arms instead of the plastic ones that break... would you recommend I stay with the oem for this sort of a part or would a chinese made manifold be sufficient?

Great video, I like the detail and quality, I like how you save time but using the cord to keep parts out of your way. I replaced the plugs, the next day the check engine lamp came up, code P2006 and a few sub codes, clear them all, car runs good and very smooth, it could have been a fluke?
@RothBeyondTheGrave 2 жыл бұрын
No fluke. The car will run fine without the variable function of the intake runners. You'll just loose the benefits of having a short or long runner setting for optimal air flow given the throttle input. The real danger is the internal runner flap plastic crap breaking off & damaging the valves, & the codes may not show at all before that happens.

jagvette1 I was unaware of the salt being in the soup. The dielectric grease is a good one but I’m not sure of the WD-40 could possibly make the seal swell.

I did a little more research and the opinion is the salt is the non-corrosive type, by I would avoid it, each to their own, in one respect the idea that WD40 may make the seals expand might ! not be bad and make a better seal. (just a thought), but one again love your videos.

@Verbalism 4 жыл бұрын
What is the logic behind your hypothesis? Carbon buildup causes resistance that causes pieces to break. How would putting metal arms instead of plastic change anything other than durability?
@RothBeyondTheGrave 2 жыл бұрын
@@Verbalism allegedly the plastic crap on the front was made out of plastic so it would be a weak point, ensuring they would break before the internal plastic crap flaps/runners. Perhaps aftermarket metal piece on a new manifold is nice (if pcv system is kept functional). But like you said, carbon buildup is the problem, so metal aftermarket parts on an old manifold could expedite that internal failure I suppose.

This won't do any good as this will pour back into the new air intake and gumming it again. Perhaps you may be of service for your clients by cleaning that piece or put a hour or so to do it. I am sure your clients will be more than happy to pay you for it than having the new air intake start gumming up right away.
