2012 C250 cdi air intake pipe rattle

[Jonsyb]

Hi all new to the forum
Just have the car about a month now and when it's sitting idling
The air intake pipe is making an awful racket anybody else have this issue and
How did you fix thanks

 

[Jonsyb]

Anyone ?

The pipe itself, or the intake air filter housing?

When I first got mine I had a similar rattle, turned out to be the engines cover hitting the intake pipe, solved it with a bit of sponge between the two temporarily, it's still there. I'm guessing that the set up is the same as yours.

Thanks for your replys no it's the 90 degree hard
Pipe bend it seems too loose for my liking might end up buying a new suspect a seal might be missing or some sort of plastic clip could be missing

 

[whitenemesis]

Gaffer tape??

 

[Jonsyb]

It's an option I suppose I could get some black tape and try that. Although will be ugly looking

 

[whitenemesis]

Keep the bonnet closed

 

[Jonsyb]

That's the plan you don't want them open too often
