Hi folks,

Looking for a DIY on how to remove the intake manifold on a w203, or a 2007 C280 4-matic.

Any links to video's or write up with pictures etc. Please post here.

Javvy, I haven't found any DIY or writeups for removing intake manifold on C280 with M272.

If I may ask, why are you thinking of removing the intake manifold?

I am going to a German auto mechanic who designed his own Manifold lever, he is on you tube and is located here in europeanautoservice, southplainfield. All reviews say he is honest and has STAR. I will let him diagnose the issue and see where it takes me.

My inspection has expired for the last 1 yr and I am driving the car, need to get this resolved ASAP and get the damn thing inspected....

I have a DIY-video of the procedure, but propably a little too late for you

My car is the W203 C230 V6, with M272 engine. If someone else is interested to do replacement as a DIY project, here is my walkthrough how to do it:

Javvy sold his Mercedes car. He was about to start the project of replacing the intake manifold and then he decided to sell it.

I also almost decided to sell the whole car and let someone else to deal with all the problems. But now I'm very happy that I decided to let the car have one more chance. Now as everything works like they used to work, I almost can say that I fell in love with the car again
