After removing \ replacing this a few times over the years I've found it much simpler to align the Turbo intake seal as well as the air intake Y-tube joints if you remove the bolts from the two airboxes first. This allows a little play in all the joints so that they can all be lined up together and the jubilee's tightened. Then just refit the two airbox mounting bolts.Be careful fitting the new fatter seal to older 320 V6's.
The air filter isn't designed to take it and the new seal can cause the surrounf to break.
The new seal will go but needs some support of the jubillee clip when pushing back on.

Good write upHaving recently had a slight issue of the car suffering intermittent power loss so I had it scanned at our excellent local indy STAR in Caversham. Typical that nothing came up. Anyway we thought the worst and that it could be gearbox related but Ian at STAR said it was more likely engine related as the gearbox would leave a stored code if it had become faulty. I decided to do some old school home mechanics and wanted to check the MAF sensors out. As I took the the assembly off where the MAF sensors lived I also removed the air filters which had picked up some summer debris. The was easily removed so on to the cleaning the MAF sensors out - in their infinite wisdom MB decided that the twin MAF sensors should be non-removable and form part of a £500 plus piece of plastic. Fortunately in some respects as I removed this I could see an orangey red seal that looked like this...

This seal was failing and just starting to let oil through. A thorough clean of everything with a non solvent degreaser around that area and a healthy spray of switch cleaner on to the MAF sensors has the car running beautifully again. The seal was £2.40 or so and the guy at the dealership said it was an extremely common part to be replaced.
So if you have this engine or the earlier 320 CDI then my advice is to check this part and replace it every couple of years - its a 10 minute job at most and is incredibly easy to do. If you don't attend to it and it is leaking then the oil will contaminate the swirl flap motor and you'll have a £500 or so fix required.
Thought I'd share this anyway...
