Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 272 090 0282

Product Overview

Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 272 090 0282 is a direct-reference replacement for the air intake tract of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It is listed here against OEM 272 090 028 and 272 094 061, so the part can be matched to a vehicle without guesswork. The air intake tract gives this part a hard life: heat soak, vibration and pressure cycling. Typical end-of-life signs are cracks around moulded sensor ports and hardened cuffs that no longer seal on the airbox spigot, which reach the workshop as unmetered air downstream of the mass airflow sensor, a rough idle and airflow fault codes. 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

• Sample-based production for parts not yet listed — Send the old part or a drawing and we quote from the sample, including mould development where no tool exists.
• 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 — Cracks around moulded sensor ports and hardened cuffs that no longer seal on the airbox spigot 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.

Application Scenarios

Warranty-expired fleet maintenance

A fleet past dealer coverage moves to independent supply and needs the same reference coverage at a working price. With 272 090 028 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. For 272 090 028 the practical step is confirming the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position before the order is placed.

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. This reference, 272 090 028, is bought for exactly that situation on Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Who It Is For

• Online parts sellers — listing by OEM reference, where a mismatched number turns into a return and a negative rating. They order 272 090 028 by the carton and reorder against the same number.
• Fleet and bus operators — running Mercedes-Benz vehicles past warranty and buying cooling-system parts by the box to keep downtime short. They order 272 090 028 by the carton and reorder against the same number.
• Radiator and cooling specialists — rebuilding cooling systems and sourcing the hoses, flanges and housings for a platform in one go. They judge 272 090 028 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. With 272 090 028 the check is the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position, and it happens before despatch.

Reference mismatch

Visually identical parts carry different connector geometry between model years. Quoting OEM 272 090 028 and 272 094 061 fixes the identity before money moves. For Mercedes-Benz buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 272 090 028.

Split ordering

Sourcing one hose from one supplier and the matching flange from another doubles the freight and the paperwork for the same repair. With 272 090 028 the check is the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position, and it happens before despatch.

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.

Comparison With the Alternatives

Use Guide

1. Confirm the reference

   Match OEM 272 090 028 and 272 094 061 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 272 090 028 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.
