I have a 2015 MB c200d.
I’m having some trouble with intake pipes that keeps disconnecting and needs to get re-fitted as the car gets driven (as a result of normal engine twisting and turning I assume).
This is what I will see when I pop the hood after a couple runs after refitting, it needs to be completely snug or it creates a vacuum leak… I’ve applied some sealant today, retightened and letting it cure, but i’m honestly not too confident it will work.
Getting it snug requires quite some force, not sure if something is not fitted corretly or if that’s how it’s supposed to be, haha.
The male end of that should have some kind of a lip on it. Is it damaged? And it just seems like that worm gear clamp should be much tighter. If it won’t tighten any more than perhaps it is damaged. Try replacing it.
I looked at that video again. It seems that you’re fiddling around with it using your hands to show how loose it is, and if I’m seeing things correctly, it’s it’s not fully installed. The flanges on both ends should probably butt up to each other. There is probably some manner of a “catch” the deters it from coming apart, and the worm gear clamp finished the job.
The clamp is obviously loose, turbo pressure will blow the hose off each time the vehicle is driven. I don’t see this as an opportunity to sell a chump new engine mounts.
