Hi,

1991 300ce 24valve m104

Ive read archived posts that stated over and over that the egr tube can be removed without removing the intake manifold. I dont believe this to be true because the bends are way to sharp. If I am wrong, can someone explain how to remove the tube without removing the intake first. And, where can I purchase a new intake? How much do they usually cost?

thanks

Somebody, PLEASE, answer this post and I promise not to post anymore 'tired' topics.

Every time I replace the egr tube, I remove the intake. I have heard that you don't, but I don't really see how you do it without bending the crap out of the tube. Why do you need to buy a new intake though? Did you mean to ask where to buy the tube?

thanks for the reply.....no, i just wanted to buy a new intake because all of the gunk buildup. But, now that I am sure that i have to remove the intake, im going to just send it off to get cleaned. Is there a certain procedure for replacing the intake gasket? Or do i just clean around the intake ports, place the gasket, and fasten the intake?

thanks

If I remember correctly, your car has a composite intake manifold. You just need to clean the surface on the head and replace the o-ring seals for the intake manifold.Good luck.
