Hello! I have a car with a Mercedes 272 engine. I could not understand what was going on, so I came to the mechanic. They said that the level
door actuator intake manifold is not working. Is there a way to fix this problem without changing the whole manifold?"

Hi,
could be the plastic actuator that ha snapped. it's quite common on these engines.
I had this on mine, there is a replacement one that you can get. for example here

you do have to take the inlet manifold off to undo the 1 bolt that holds the actuator arm in place. took me around 3 hours to do this on mine, including new intake gaskets
perhaps show this to your mechanic to see if they can confirm it is this bit which is broken.

Hope this helps
Regards,
RichPu

Hello! Thanks for the tips! I found a great website with repair kits. I solved the problem cheaply and quickly. There were no problems with the delivery.
