One of the intake manifold nuts is missing(picture attached below to show which bolt it belongs to), which means the bolt spins when the engine's on and it's causing a lot of rattling. So bad that the engine noise leaks into the cabin, along with the road noise that those terrible Michelin Primacy 3st tyres that essentially inject the road nose directly into the cabin. Apparently Michelin is terrible in India. Looked that up after buying the tyres(bought them slightly used. Now I know why the previous owner changed them so fast). When I hold the box in place with my hand, the noise goes down again. I'm trying to find those nuts (they're either rectangular or square in shape), but no luck. Does anyone at least know the specifications of these nuts, so that I can try to find them in this fairly remote place(as far as Merc parts are concerned)? And I don't know what's supposed to go in the place of the zip ties that's holding this to the engine. Anyway, thanks in advance.
