I hope everyone isn't getting sick of me yet! What is the name of the plastic part that goes between the Throttle Body and the MAF and does anyone know where to get the gasket that goes on the Throttle Body end? The one that is there is getting hard and brittle.
Thanks

Hi ZERACER,
I just changed these not too long ago.
Luckily I keep records of everything! LOL
Here are the parts and numbers that I used:
The hose connector at the top of the intake is the Air Distribution Hose Connector - MB Part# 1120180209.
The 2 gaskets for the MAF Sensor housing are:
Air Mass Housing To Air Mass Sensor Seal, Mercedes-Benz # 1121590080 (93 mm Outer Diameter - 81 mm Inner Diameter). New part number is: 112159008064
Air Mass Sensor Housing To Engine Seal, Mercedes-Benz # 1121590180 (96.5 mm OD - 86 mm ID). New part number is: 112159018064.
These are probably available at your local Mercedes-Benz dealer. Or at NeedsWings.com

Did you get the parts and are you getting any closure to fixing your engine issues?
No, one end was blown out of the intake, so I replaced it and the gaskets. It was still backfiring and running rough. I am now replacing the spark plugs, they were worn and black. I,ll update when I get dome. I work very slow at 80 years old.
