Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2700900382

Product Overview

This Air Intake Hose is supplied for Mercedes-Benz applications and is catalogued against OEM 2700900382. Matching starts from the reference rather than from a picture, which is what keeps a container of parts out of the returns pile. Because the part carries filtered air from the airbox to the turbocharger inlet or throttle body, a worn one rarely fails cleanly — expect torn bellows sections at the engine mount side and cracks around moulded sensor ports 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. We hold it as part of a cooling-system range of more than 4000 types built for the independent aftermarket in Europe, the Middle East and South America.

Key Benefits

• Inspection before despatch — Parts are inspected before they leave, which for this family means checking the sealing faces and the connector geometry that decide whether it fits.
• Matched to how the part actually fails — Torn bellows sections at the engine mount side and cracks around moulded sensor ports are the reasons this reference is bought, so those are the features checked before packing.
• Aftermarket buyers, not one-off retail — Pricing and packing are set up for distributors and workshop chains buying by the carton, not for single-piece retail.
• One reference set on every document — OEM 2700900382 appears on the quotation, the packing list and the carton label, so a warehouse can check a delivery without opening the box.

Application Scenarios

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. With 2700900382 on the list the rest of the air intake tract can be priced at the same time.

Breakdown repair

The vehicle is off the road and the part has to be right the first time, which makes the reference match the whole decision. On this reference that means quoting 2700900382 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Rebuild of an obsolete platform

The original reference is no longer produced, so the part is made from a supplied sample. For 2700900382 the practical step is confirming the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position before the order is placed.

Who It Is For

• Fleet and bus operators — running Mercedes-Benz vehicles past warranty and buying cooling-system parts by the box to keep downtime short. For them 2700900382 is a line on a shelf, not a project.
• Radiator and cooling specialists — rebuilding cooling systems and sourcing the hoses, flanges and housings for a platform in one go. 2700900382 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on Mercedes-Benz platforms.
• Exporters and consolidators — shipping mixed cooling-system pallets into Europe, the Middle East and South America. They judge 2700900382 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.

Problems It Solves

Unclear compound

The steel helix is what stops the duct collapsing, so any duct that has been crushed in transit should be rejected on arrival. For Mercedes-Benz buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 2700900382.

Reference mismatch

Visually identical parts carry different connector geometry between model years. Quoting OEM 2700900382 fixes the identity before money moves. That is why 2700900382 carries its full cross-reference set on this page.

Split ordering

Sourcing one hose from one supplier and the matching flange from another doubles the freight and the paperwork for the same repair. On 2700900382 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

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.

Specifications

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 2700900382 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 2700900382 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.
