The manufacturer will advise to replace the entire intake manifold (£600+). Our repair kit is the best solution to this fault.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE INSTALL
Install our replacement aluminium rod and restore your manifold. You can ordinarily identify this issue by removing the engine cover and inspecting the intake manifold, often the rod is snapped or you can test the excess play in the rod linkage. These intake manifolds can also get severely clogged up with carbon deposits which can lead to the swirl flaps becoming harder to move which in turn leads to more stress on the motor and rod. The wear is caused by the plastic being the wrong specification for this task, it cannot deal with the heat and constant mechanical motion involved. Over time the plastic wears at the connection points with the manifold, creating an oval shape which eventually lifts up the rod leading to breakages causing the faults noted above.Ī physical inspection of the intake manifold will quite often show that the rod has snapped in half. Swirl flaps are designed to aid with low down torque and fuel economy. This is made of a poor-quality plastic which wears prematurely. Mercedes OM642 V6 vehicles suffer issues with the intake manifold, the swirl flaps within this manifold are controlled by an external operating rod.
