Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2780902282

Product Overview

Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2780902282 covers the air intake tract on Mercedes-Benz applications. The reference set on file is OEM 2780902282, which is the figure to quote when you send an enquiry. The air intake tract gives this part a hard life: heat soak, vibration and pressure cycling. Typical end-of-life signs are torn bellows sections at the engine mount side and cracks around moulded sensor ports, 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

• 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 — 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.
• Ordered by reference not by photo — The listing carries OEM 2780902282. You quote the number, we confirm against the same number, and the part that ships is the one on the invoice.

Application Scenarios

Rebuild of an obsolete platform

The original reference is no longer produced, so the part is made from a supplied sample. Here the air intake hose is ordered against 2780902282 and travels with the rest of the Mercedes-Benz branch.

Mixed container for a distributor

A quarterly container is filled across families — intake, charge air, coolant and thermostat lines — to a single packing list. Here the air intake hose is ordered against 2780902282 and travels with the rest of the Mercedes-Benz branch.

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. Here the air intake hose is ordered against 2780902282 and travels with the rest of the Mercedes-Benz branch.

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 2780902282 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. They order 2780902282 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. For them 2780902282 is a line on a shelf, not a project.

Problems It Solves

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, 2780902282, 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. That is why 2780902282 carries its full cross-reference set on this page.

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 2780902282 carries its full cross-reference set on this page.

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 2780902282 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 2780902282 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.
