Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2720902982

Product Overview

Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2720902982 covers the air intake tract on Mercedes-Benz applications. The reference set on file is OEM 2720902982, which is the figure to quote when you send an enquiry. In service the part carries filtered air from the airbox to the turbocharger inlet or throttle body. When it fails it usually shows hardened cuffs that no longer seal on the airbox spigot and splits along the convolutions, and the driver sees unmetered air downstream of the mass airflow sensor, a rough idle and airflow fault codes. The part belongs to a cooling-system catalogue of more than 4000 types, which is the practical reason buyers consolidate a mixed pallet with us rather than splitting it across suppliers.

Key Benefits

• 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.
• Tooling route for obsolete references — Where the reference is out of production, we develop the mould from the sample you supply rather than turning the enquiry away.
• Checked on the features that matter — Inspection concentrates on the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position — the dimensions that put a part back in the box if they are wrong.
• 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.

Application Scenarios

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 2720902982 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. With 2720902982 on the list the rest of the air intake tract can be priced at the same time.

Mixed container for a distributor

A quarterly container is filled across families — intake, charge air, coolant and thermostat lines — to a single packing list. On this reference that means quoting 2720902982 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Who It Is For

• Radiator and cooling specialists — rebuilding cooling systems and sourcing the hoses, flanges and housings for a platform in one go. They order 2720902982 by the carton and reorder against the same number.
• Exporters and consolidators — shipping mixed cooling-system pallets into Europe, the Middle East and South America. What they need from 2720902982 is that it fits the Mercedes-Benz on the ramp today.
• Aftermarket distributors — stocking cooling-system lines for Mercedes-Benz across a regional network and needing a reference-accurate catalogue behind the shelf. They judge 2720902982 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.

Problems It Solves

Returns from wrong fitment

Every returned part costs the freight twice. Checking the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position before despatch is cheaper than a credit note. That is why 2720902982 carries its full cross-reference set on this page.

Long lead times on slow movers

A slow line ordered alone waits for a container. Consolidated with fast movers it travels on the same shipment. On 2720902982 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

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. On 2720902982 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 2720902982 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 2720902982 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.
