Mercedes-Benz vehicles with the V6 M272 and V8 M273 engines commonly suffer from failure of the intake manifold. These manifolds are fitted with tumble / swirl flaps. The purpose of these is to increase air speed / tumble at low RPM which creates better torque for the motor at low RPM, enhanced fuel economy and reduces emissions. Unfortunately, the design of this mechanism is flawed and commonly fails. Previously necessitating replacement of the complete intake manifold at vast expense. In reality it is only a small part of the manifold that fails due to poor quality construction. On the intake manifold below the secondary air injection pump sits a plastic lever- integral to the manifolds function. As carbon builds up in the inside of the manifold over time this puts more pressure on the air doors / swirl flaps which connect to the lever, this inevitably cracks the plastic lever which is the inferior quality component. This leads to the lever no longer moving the air doors / swirl flaps inside the manifold runners. This is what causes the symptoms noted.

Mercedes-Benz solution to this common fault is to replace the complete intake manifold, not only is this extremely expensive but also a replacement manifold will have the same plastic lever which would just fail again. Our solution allows you to replace just the lever that fails. Our replacement lever is precision machined from high quality billet aluminium, meaning it will never fail like the OEM part. We provide this at a massive saving compared to a complete new manifold which would just fail again. Our part is perfectly machined to fit in the same way as the OEM part and takes moments to exchange once the manifold is removed. Our part will restore full function to the mechanism, check out our videos and instructions. We also include a repair for the vacuum actuator arm in case the original has snapped or the ball joint has worn.

Thx for this video I have the exact problem with my gl450 2007 and was told by mr Mercedes dealership the entire manifold has to be replaced at cost 10k. I knew it was a scam did my homework on gl 450 manifold and realized what the real underlying problem is. Their diagnosis is a crack tumble flap and recommended replacing entire manifold.

its funny how they say the plastic breaks due to carbon build up on the swirl flaps yet say nothing about removing the buildup and only offering an aluminum replacement. So, lets force our way through the carbon, or just see if we can break the next point of least resistance..

@edwinshi8198 7 жыл бұрын

I just did the job on m273 engine, not saw any carbon build up, so I think it a design fault, the plastic will degenerated sooner or later due to the heat and vibration.

Hello guys. A little help please(P2006 - no check engine light, though ) It doesn't look like anything is damaged with me, but after pressing one of the levers as you do in the clip, it stays in the same position and does not return., at the same time it moves hard. What do you think the problem might be?

Most likely the broken pivot point shown here, also with such a rough idle you may have internal flap damage, I have had the steel rivets from the internal flaps wear a hole through the aluminum, you may want to remove and inspect the intake manifold and proceed from there, although I would upgrade to the aluminum parts shown here even if you need a new intake.
