Yes, but it is called the airflow meter by Mercedes. Note that the throttle body is a separate part located below.

Here is the airflow meter:

The pot is barely visible from this topside view, but easily so in the upside-down view, on the side, as a black plastic object with three electrical pins. This part can be removed after carefully scribing its position on the airflow meter body. It really cannot be cleaned. I would order a new part if the element is worn out.
