Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2780904982

Product Overview

Air Intake Hose Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2780904982 is a direct-reference replacement for the air intake tract of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It is listed here against OEM 2780904982, 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 hardened cuffs that no longer seal on the airbox spigot and splits along the convolutions, which reach the workshop as 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

• 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.
• 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 — 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.
• 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.

Application Scenarios

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 2780904982 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

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. On this reference that means quoting 2780904982 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Warranty-expired fleet maintenance

A fleet past dealer coverage moves to independent supply and needs the same reference coverage at a working price. Here the air intake hose is ordered against 2780904982 and travels with the rest of the Mercedes-Benz branch.

Who It Is For

• Aftermarket distributors — stocking cooling-system lines for Mercedes-Benz across a regional network and needing a reference-accurate catalogue behind the shelf. They order 2780904982 by the carton and reorder against the same number.
• Workshop and fast-fit chains — replacing air intake hoses on Mercedes-Benz daily and judging a supplier on whether the part fits first time. They judge 2780904982 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.
• Online parts sellers — listing by OEM reference, where a mismatched number turns into a return and a negative rating. What they need from 2780904982 is that it fits the Mercedes-Benz on the ramp today.

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. For Mercedes-Benz buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 2780904982.

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. That is why 2780904982 carries its full cross-reference set on this page.

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 2780904982.

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 2780904982 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 2780904982 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.
