MILIPARTS Intake Manifold for Mercedes M272 V6 (2005–2013) — Aluminum Direct-Fit Kit with Sensor & Gasket

If your Mercedes C, E, S, SLK, GLK, ML or R series with the 272-family V6 is showing rough idle, poor throttle response, or check-engine codes related to the intake system, this direct-fit MILIPARTS intake manifold kit replaces the original 2721402401 / 2721402201 components with a fully matched assembly. The kit arrives with the manifold, gasket, a swap-ready aluminum swirl air flap runner lever, and sensor so you can replace the entire assembly with minimum extra parts.

Will this intake manifold fit my Mercedes model and year?

Compatibility covers a wide range of Mercedes models equipped with the M272 V6 engine across several model years. Confirm the engine code and compare part numbers before ordering to ensure an exact fit.

• Fits many C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, SLK, GLK, ML, R and CLK models built 2005–2013
• Designed for M272 V6 2.5L, 3.0L and 3.5L applications
• Direct replacement for OEM part numbers 2721402401 and 2721402201
• Check your VIN or existing manifold part number for confirmation

What is included in the MILIPARTS intake manifold kit?

The package is supplied as a ready-to-install assembly so you don’t need to source small parts separately. MILIPARTS bundles the primary components required to replace a worn or failing intake manifold and restore functionality at the intake runner level.

• Complete aluminum intake manifold body precision-machined for sealing surfaces
• Replacement gasket pre-cut to match factory sealing points
• Aluminum swirl air flap runner lever for improved durability compared to plastic originals
• Included intake sensor so the assembly is plug-and-play with existing engine wiring

How does this manifold compare to the original part in build and reliability?

MILIPARTS builds the manifold from high-quality aluminum and tests assemblies to meet expected durability for road use. The metal construction reduces the risk of cracks or deformation that plastic components sometimes develop over time, while fitment is engineered to match original specifications for straightforward installation.

• Aluminum construction resists heat soak and warping better than many cheaper materials
• Manufactured to align with OEM mounting points and passages for correct airflow
• Pre-tested for dimensional accuracy to minimize installation adjustments
• Comes with replacement sensor and gasket to avoid compatibility issues

How should I install and maintain the replacement manifold?

Installation is intended to be a direct swap, but following proper torque specs and a clean mating surface is essential for a reliable seal. Routine checks after installation and periodic visual inspection will help catch leaks or loose fasteners early.

• Clean cylinder head mating area and remove old gasket residue before installation
• Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications and re-check after initial heat cycles
• Inspect swirl flaps and sensor connection during service intervals for secure operation
• Use OEM-style gaskets and recommended sealants if specified by your workshop guide

Who is this for? The MILIPARTS intake manifold kit is aimed at Mercedes owners, independent mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who need a dependable, OEM-compatible replacement for M272-series V6 engines. It’s suitable for vehicles showing intake-related error codes, degraded engine response, or physical manifold damage, and for anyone who prefers an aluminum replacement for longer-term reliability. Always verify vehicle compatibility by model year and engine code before purchase, and consult a professional installer if you’re unsure about fitment or torque requirements.
