Need help identifying part

Hi, I’m new here. I’m trying to figure out the name of a part, I’ve search and search the internet but couldn’t find an answer. It’s right next to the change over valve, can anyone tell me the name of this part circled and highlighted in the pictures, thank you.

The PN is visible on the part, directly under the words "Mercedes-Benz" in the photo with the red arrow. Format will be Axxx-xxx-xx-xx.

The photo isn't quite clear enough or I'd be able to tell you the PN right here.

Give the PN to your local dealer and they'll be able to sell you the latest version of that part, or at least give you the PN for the latest version.

I already tried that but like you said the number aren’t very clear at all I can’t make them out either that’s why I posted on here hoping someone would know. I don’t have a local Mercedes’ dealer near me. If anyone know what that part is I’d appreciate the help. Thanks

Try looking here. I don't know the layout of your engine at all, but hopefully it is somewhere in the link.

All I know is that the circled part is probably some sort of pressure sensor.

Good luck.

Yea I tried the diagram route but didn’t help me, I’ve tried everything I can think of that’s why I finally posted on here hoping someone would know. Are you positive it’s some sort of pressure sensor?

If it's not pressure it'd be temperature. Problem is I can't see where the probe part goes. Is it attached to a hose?

Just my guess here, but is the part #11 in the link? Manifold pressure sensor, PN 005-153-50-28.

yea it’s a MAP sensor, thanks a lot that really help to figure it out. Do you know if the MAP sensor was completely missing like not installed at all would that stop the car from starting and not even turning over?

Most modern cars have default maps to account for bad sensors. My guess would be that the car will run, but not too well. In other words, you won’t be stranded, but you also want to get the part replaced.

How do you know the sensor is bad?

the sensor is completely missing it’s not there. My car has sat for quite some time like 2 years and now I’m finally getting around to fixing it but it would start at all it doesn’t even turn over. Even though it sat all that time it always started and at worse it would need a jump on occasions after sitting g there but it always started. Now that I’m finally starting to fix it it won’t even turn over so I started looking at it and the dam change over valve and MAP sensor were completely missing

The battery also needs to be trickle charged if you’re parking it for extended periods. At this point the battery is probably discharged past the point of cranking. Hopefully you didn’t kill the battery, though you’re probably looking at a new one just by battery age alone. These batteries typically last 6-8 years.

I bought a new battery, it’s putting out 12.7v. That was the first thing I did. I don’t know much about cars so I’m fairly lost. I thought maybe because the change over valve and the MAP senor were completely missing that those missing parts might be stopping it from even turning over but like I said I don’t know much a car working on cara

Any check engine codes?

Basically the troubleshooting procedure is to identify what is broken and only replace those. In your situation you probably have several broken/missing parts, so you're doing the correct first step in replacing what's missing. With that said, any idea why the parts are missing? Service history would help.
