Hey, apparently, a star from my engine cover fell of and I hate how it looks! Does anyone know where I can order one or a part number for it? Also, does anyone know where I can order stock air intake tubes? Mine are starting to break!

You might need to swap the whole cover, the part number should be A2730101967

Huh, interesting. but looks like the part number is a bit wrong. Since the given part number has the cover for the V8 but does not have the "bulge" that my cover has lol.

Sorry about that, is this it? A2730102267
If not, if you can please provide your VIN number then I will be able to confirm.

You are very welcome, happy to help. The part number for the engine cover should match the VIN you provided.
Alternatively, since you can't order that star separately (not that I am aware of) I wonder if you can buy one of the MB stars installed on the rear of the vehicle where the trunk is and put one in the 3 slots where the original one was on the engine cover, I wonder if the size is too big or too small.

Oh, good question! I think I can measure it and see! I'll check tomorrow and if not, new cover it is! Once again thanks for the help!
I will just throw the part number of your rear Mercedes star in case you need it: A2128170016
Edit: I was thinking since you can't buy the engine cover star separately, you could probably find a replica somewhere or if someone for some reason has an extra one they can sell.

Here is another thought
I wonder if the wheel hub caps will work
Edit: Just throwing some ideas, measure the one on the steering wheel too. This one is unlikely to fit but in case it does. Oh and the hood badge (not the standing star, the one on the grille I mean) too.

What type of glue you guys used to make sure it doesn't fall off again?
Pretty much any glue should work. My did break off, but I was just able to glue it back on, maybe it was gorilla glue. Also there are some MB's in the junkyard these days, I wonder if the star from other years/engines would work. Was at a few pick and pull yards last week, but many of them were pretty well stripped, lots of the smaller engine parts were gone and no sign of any MB hood star.

One man's trash is another man's treasure, a good place and worth a look to see what can be used for sure.
Here is another thread on this topic, including 3D printed version replacements... I would let hell freeze over before I bought a whole engine cover (that no one sees) for an 11 year-old car...
Does anyone know where I can order one or a part number for it? Also, does anyone know where I can order stock air intake tubes?
As mentioned MB does not offer star separately here is cover part # if looking to replace. Discontinued intake lines, read thread for work around using aftermarket: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...let-ducts.html
