Help needed to remove air box and maybe supercharger or inlet manifold?.

[georgehifi]

Hi I have a 2006 C200 coupe 271.940 1.8lt, I can just see under the air box a split vacuum hose, and I need to repair it. I understand that there are a few vacuum hoses around and under this area.
Has anyone posted a step by step, hopefully with pics, on how to remove what's needed to get at and inspect/replace the vacuum hose/s under there?
I tried a search but couldn't come up with anything.
Cheers George

Haven't seen a guide posted on here, however, Haynes do a workshop manual that covers all W203 C Class models. MY 2000 - 2007.

I think on the W204 it comes loose when the bumper is unscrewed across the top? May be the same for yours

Thanks guys, I have the Haynes manual, but it's a bit thin on this area.
These 203 vacuum hoses around and under the supercharger are problem area from what I gather (heat maybe) and I can just see a split one. Which doesn't seem to effect the cars performance, but I do get a bank 1 lean code (P0171) every couple of months, then I clear it and it's good again for a few months.

I thought for sure someone may have gone through this, with some knowledge on a "how to post". I'll wait and see if some comes up with anything.

Cheers George
