A common failure inherent to the intake manifold of Mercedes-Benz M272 V6 & M273 V8 engines is for breakage of the actuating mechanisms on the intake swirl flap system. The plastic material used in the construction of the intake manifold is the main source of the problem. Over time this less robust plastic material cannot withstand the constant heat cycles and mechanical stresses, therefore embrittling and weakening the material leading to inevitable failure. The URO Premium intake manifold repair kit is the only solution which solves all of these issues during your first and only repair.

At URO we wanted to make a replacement part that could withstand the heat, operate effortlessly, and be as light as possible.  We turned to high-strength aluminum. The URO Premium kit provides a more robust swirl flap pivot lever featuring a permanent co-molded self lubricating Delrin center pivot bushing and left and right receiver cups for the swirl actuating levers. The new URO Premium actuator has been redesigned with a metal pull rod to withstand the engine heat, plus its stroke has been altered to eliminate the mechanical stresses of constantly bottoming out on the manifold stops. In addition, it is fitted with a long life high-temperature silicone diaphragm for added strength. Included in the kit is also a new pivot bolt made out of stainless steel to replace the original one should any damage occur from removal. The URO Premium intake manifold repair kit is not just a suitable replacement for when the part fails, but rather a redesigned part that fits flawlessly with the Mercedes-Benz image of excellence in engineering.
