Think I have a hose missing
Hi,
I have just bought a 2008 W209 320 cdi and noticed I have oil splattered on the underside of my bonnet near the filler cap and I noticed a bit lower down there is an oval shaped hole which I assume should have a hose connected to it but it doesn't have anything.
I have no idea what the part would be, what it would be called or what it does. I don;t even know if there should be something there so am struggling to find any information.
Not sure the best way of trying to identify it as its not there so thought I would put it out to you guys to see what you could come up with :-)

yes, that is the missing air intake tube to your air filter housing. Im surprised that you dont have a check engine light on currently. Are you missing this same piece on the other side of the engine?

If you cannot locate the other side's part number, send me a PM and I'll look it up for you.. More than likely they removed it when installing new air filters and forgot them. Possibly they came loose and fell off?? but I doubt that as they are generally wedged into place real well. It can cause a check engine light if they are not connected, plus you are sucking in hot air which helps nothing.

Maybe grasping at straws but as I say looking at where the oil seems to stem from and the lack of air duct directing the air properly does make sense
