Hey everyone!

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).

I’ve recorded a very brief youtube short of my issue: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-SiDXST3bWQ

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.

Looking for any bright ideas! Thank you!
