Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2515000061

Product Overview

Ordered against OEM 2515000061, this Air Intake Hose replaces the original part in the air intake tract on Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The carries filtered air from the airbox to the turbocharger inlet or throttle body, so form and fit are not negotiable. Because the part carries filtered air from the airbox to the turbocharger inlet or throttle body, a worn one rarely fails cleanly — expect hardened cuffs that no longer seal on the airbox spigot and splits along the convolutions long before it separates, with unmetered air downstream of the mass airflow sensor, a rough idle and airflow fault codes as the first complaint over the counter. Hunan Woojin Autoparts supplies it from a cooling-system range of more than 4000 types covering German, French, Japanese, American and Korean vehicles.

Key Benefits

• Matched to how the part actually fails — Hardened cuffs that no longer seal on the airbox spigot and splits along the convolutions are the reasons this reference is bought, so those are the features checked before packing.
• Export packing as standard — The range ships to Europe, the Middle East and South America, so cartons are packed for long sea legs rather than for a local van run.
• One reference set on every document — OEM 2515000061 appears on the quotation, the packing list and the carton label, so a warehouse can check a delivery without opening the box.
• Consolidate the platform in one order — Hoses, flanges and thermostat housings for the same platform ship on one pallet, which shortens the paperwork and the freight bill.

Application Scenarios

Scheduled cooling-system overhaul

The vehicle is in for a coolant leak and the workshop replaces the whole branch at once rather than chasing the next failure in a month. For 2515000061 the practical step is confirming the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position before the order is placed.

Warranty-expired fleet maintenance

A fleet past dealer coverage moves to independent supply and needs the same reference coverage at a working price. With 2515000061 on the list the rest of the air intake tract can be priced at the same time.

Counter stock for a busy platform

Mercedes-Benz volume in the region justifies holding the line on the shelf instead of ordering it in per job. Here the air intake hose is ordered against 2515000061 and travels with the rest of the Mercedes-Benz branch.

Who It Is For

• Exporters and consolidators — shipping mixed cooling-system pallets into Europe, the Middle East and South America. For them 2515000061 is a line on a shelf, not a project.
• Aftermarket distributors — stocking cooling-system lines for Mercedes-Benz across a regional network and needing a reference-accurate catalogue behind the shelf. 2515000061 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on Mercedes-Benz platforms.
• Workshop and fast-fit chains — replacing air intake hoses on Mercedes-Benz daily and judging a supplier on whether the part fits first time. What they need from 2515000061 is that it fits the Mercedes-Benz on the ramp today.

Problems It Solves

Reference mismatch

Visually identical parts carry different connector geometry between model years. Quoting OEM 2515000061 fixes the identity before money moves. For Mercedes-Benz buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 2515000061.

Split ordering

Sourcing one hose from one supplier and the matching flange from another doubles the freight and the paperwork for the same repair. For this air intake hose the answer is the reference, 2515000061, on every document.

Parts that are no longer produced

When the original reference is dropped, the repair still exists. Sample-based production and mould development keep the line alive. For Mercedes-Benz buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 2515000061.

Technical Features

The part serves the air intake tract and carries filtered air from the airbox to the turbocharger inlet or throttle body. It is moulded in Non-woven fabric with steel reinforcement and PP connector / TEEE, chosen because a non-woven wall over a steel helix keeps the duct open against intake depression while damping induction noise, with moulded PP or TEEE ends carrying the sealing geometry.

Specified on large-diameter ducts where noise damping and collapse resistance both matter. The steel helix is what stops the duct collapsing, so any duct that has been crushed in transit should be rejected on arrival.

Values marked TBC are not stated on the source catalogue. They are confirmed in writing on the quotation rather than estimated here.

Comparison With the Alternatives

Use Guide

1. Confirm the reference

   Match OEM 2515000061 against the number on the part you removed. Do not match on outline alone.

2. Check the interfaces

   Compare the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position before the vehicle is stripped further.

3. Inspect on arrival

   Look for transit damage on sealing faces and connectors. The steel helix is what stops the duct collapsing, so any duct that has been crushed in transit should be rejected on arrival.

4. Fit with the original clamp style

   Reuse the clamp type the Mercedes-Benz platform was designed around, and fit any seal or O-ring supplied with 2515000061 rather than carrying the old one over.

5. Pressure check before handover

   Refill, bleed the circuit and check for splits along the convolutions at working temperature before the vehicle leaves.
