Perfect! Exactly what I needed! 👍🏻

What a smart dude… thank you so much

My 2001 s430 is experiencing ruff idle . I was replacing the hose there and it broke off . I refused to take the intake off but it was a no go . I’ll have to take it off today . And finish the job . Poor car has been sitting for about a month because of the bad weather in Nashville . But this video motivated me . Our I go

thanks for help and greetings from Poland ! :DD

GREAT Video!!

I actually broke actuator level from the inside I went to my local junkyard I got lucky I found another good working intake manifold for 60

I used an air compressor pinch hose fitting with an 1/8” pinch. Then added a hose connection , put a 1/8” rubber washer. This pinches onto the vacuum tube in the intake, making it air tight, sell the washer seals at the exit hole by way of the pressure of the mounting screws and gives the ability to replace the hose in the future without removing the intake. I would add a picture but not sure how.

Totes to you for having a cl500 me with and clk 320

Good idea, bad execution on Mercedes part. Nice job on the repair

Thanks brother 👍🏻🌹

Thanks Bro !

Thank you!

Thank you😊

Nice thanks….

Just the video I was looking for . My vacuum line broke just like yours long before I took apart my intake manifold I can just tell by the look of it , what were your symptoms with the broken hose ? I never noticed anything but I’m sure I will when it goes back together fixed & clean , I scrubbed everything clean with diesel fuel & then soda blasted it down to bare aluminum again so I can get better sealant adhesion. I will have a video on my channel soon when I’m done !

It was a lean code with a small hissing noise from under the intake. It did run much better when it was all done

Great video. Can you be more specific as to what sent you to this hose as the problem to the lean burn. Were there DTCs? Rough idle?

@@abeodez751 highly unlikely that many misfires on that many cylinders at the same time. I had similar issues o2s Cls500 M113 of course. Turn out MAF wasnt clipping down tight. I fixed and scanned again and got a ("this vehicle has no codes.")🙃🙂 All this was after spark plug and wires and a new coil pack pulling and testing the o2s! All was checking out good. I pulled my hair out until my eyes hit that little tiny chrome clip. I wiggle the MAF and it was moving quite a bit! That was my Eureka moment! Lol! She runs like a beast now!🤪

What codes were u getting and how was it running before you fixed it, please tell me. I have a 2001 s430 and I can’t for the life of me figure out why it runs like crap BUT I did try to repair that vacuum. Maybe I did it wrong

It was running lean, vacuum leaks do that. You probably have a different issue

What size hoses did you use to replace both of them that you took out ? I have a 05 e500 I’m looking to take off the intake manifold I’m interested to know the sizes

Did the car show any faultcodes or something? Or did it have bad idle?

No, oil should not be in the intake manifold. But an oil leak can ruin this vacuum hose.
