inlet

Hi all, just collected the car from the stealers after having a new inlet manifold fitted and for those of you interested the cost was £1194.96 incl vat. However this does also include £18.70 + vat for a short test to find the source of the problem? and also £88 + vat for an engine check to find...

Hi everyone, long time C230K owner, but just recently joined this form, great place for information as there are not many forum members over in the states that still drive w202's. Seems like there's a lot over here in the UK. I had a question about a diy for this oem air inlet that needs...

Had the inlet port shut off motor replaced last November and it looks like it's gone again. The dealer told me to switch the engine off and restart it and this seems to gave cleared the problem. Unfortunately the car will be stuck on Southampton quayside for a couple of weeks as I'm on a cruise...

Hi All, I have just joined the forum which looks great. I have an E320 CDI 2006 model which went in to limp home mode last week. I took in in to the dealer who diagnosed it needed a new inlet shut off port motor and he needed to recalibrate the air filter all for £832.92. Two days later the same...

hi i'm about to attempt removing the inlet manifold on my c250td, full of oil and when on boot its blowing past one of the o-rings . picked up some new rings from the dealers - i asked for 5 - they said i need 10. are there any watch outs on manifold removal , other than dont drop anything...

Can any of you help with the below post? I bought an 'Inlet Port Shutoff Motor' and tried to change it yesterday but failed. We managed to get two bolts out but couldn't get access to the third (lowest one). It looks like it bolts onto the gearbox but we just couldn't get our hands down...

Hi. I just got hold of a P-Reg C230K, and its quite different under the bonnet to the slightly later one I had in the past. Cable throttle rather than electric, totally different inlet manifold (throttle faces sideways rather than upwards), and so on. Is this correct? :confused: The...

Hi there, I'm going to be giving the top end of my engine a bit of an overhaul soon (valve stem seals, re-grind the valves in etc.) on my 420SEL as the seals are shot. Is there any trick to removing the inlet manifold? Any hidden bolts that aren't immediately apparent? I've got a 5 litre...

Hi all I recently had to change the inlet manifold on my car. I did read on here about a repair kit but the garage tells me they could only get a full manifold. Can someone tell me if you can get a repair kit to to change the plastic socket joint on the old manifold? If its possible...

Did I talk too soon about going back to the garage? I now have a problem with the inlet manifold. I have no power at all There is a little arm off the motor that controls the gates on the manifold. this has parted company and the garage are telling me it's a new manifold. Can this be...

Hi All I've been having power problems and smoking with my ML 270 cdi. The EGR valve has been removed and cleaned but upon removal I could see the inlet manifold was also full of black carbon crud (I am surprised it is running) I need advice on removal of the said inlet manifold. Can anyone...

as the title suggests, i am looking for a 103 inlet manifold, anyone got one avalible?

As title really. Im guessing no, but wondered before I go and do it, saving me a job. The way the car drives feels to me like on cars when the intercooler is struggling, but its a fair size and the boost is v.low, so kinda surprised if it is, and the odd shape pipework makes an upgrade not a...

Hi guys as some of you know I recently bought a ML270 about a week ago and to my horror have realised my gearbox valve body is gone and have now been told my inlet manifold is leaking oil. My question is where can I get hold of one cheap or cheapish or is there a fix for these. On bmw's you...

the centre connecting bar the one that operates the six butterfly valves in the inlet manifold has a worn plastic ball joint and it keeps poping off phoned mercs to purchase new bar because i did not think you could buy the small plastic ball joint yup you guessed it have to buy a new complete...

Hi I have just undone all engine bolts from manifold but cant work out how to remove it as its been held on by the pipe. anyone know how its fixed to this?

All, I am a new member to the site. I am early retired, own a C200K purchased new in 2001 and I like to keep my wheels for a long time. The car is maintained re specific problems (albeit reluctantly) by an MB (workshop facility only) main agent. I have an engineering background, and after...

i decided to clean out the throttle body today and found alot of sticky oil in the inlet manifold! anyone cleaned one without removing the manifold? or just leave it alone?

Hello all, Does anyone know how long it should take to have the inlet manifold and associated stepper motor replaced on a 2001 w203 c270cdi? The reason I ask is that after my car had gone into limp mode I had it diagnosed by the local mercedes independent as the stepper motor had stripped the...

Done a bit of work on a friends 320TE (has all the amg kit, looks lovely!) Noticed it had EFI rather than the K-Jet crap. Which got me thinking, I'd love to convert my TT setup to EFI and proper management. Would the inlet manifold from a 320 fit on a 300-24v? Would make life easier.
