After watching this video, I feel much better now with my purchase of a new intake manifold for my 2012 c63.

What drives me crazy is Mercedes/AMG should have completely painted the *entire* inside and outside with epoxy paint to seal the magnesium and at least slow the eventual oxidation. As it stands, these manifolds should be considered wear items. I'm only hoping AMG keeps producing spares for the foreseeable future.

what causes all this corrosion in such a dry climate? i live in a part of the US that gets pretty humid in the summer months and the intake manifold on my 2013 C63 looked nothing like this when I removed it recently to replace the PCV at 88k miles.

I don’t get it either. It seems every M156 he takes apart that has more than 70k km has broken camshafts and generally completely falling apart. I’m starting to think it’s the climate in the UAE. Maybe all the dust acts as sandpaper? Maybe it also contaminates the oil, and in combination with oil turning to basically water in all that heat, ruins the camshafts aswell? It’s all theories, but watching Tasos channel makes it look like no AMG will go past 100k km without rebuild. Here in Sweden, I see plenty M156 with close to 200k km and zero issues with camshafts or intake manifolds.

Rest in pieces, lol. I have to inspect my intake manifold if I ever take it apart. So far so good. I'm surprised no one has made a better replacement not made of magnesium. Tasos, project for you? I would buy if I ever needed for my e63.

It seems to be such a waste of your time to open up these intake manifolds when parts aren't available. Too bad no one is offering a replacement made of plastic.

Hi Tasos - what do you use to reseal the lower cover? @ 10:54

Do the gaskets for the throttle bodies have to go in a specific way?

When it comes to cleaning for such parts, you need an ultrasonic cleaner ...👌👌💪💪

@fanis fanis, If only it were that easy 😏. An ultrasonic bath does not help here either. The corrosion on this intake manifold is too strong and thus destroyed. Best regards 🙌

Agreed! I’m replacing my intake with a new upgraded one.

Hi Tasos, love your videos! Just cleaned my intake manifold, replaced the throttle plate, and added a catch can following your instructions, and everything went super smooth. Question for you re. the VVT solenoid connections on the M156 wire harness. Which of the connectors on the wire harness is for the intake, and which one is for the exhaust VVT solenoid? Unplugged both on each bank to remove the top covers and forgot to label them, and as it turns out, all four VVT solenoid cables are the same length 🤦♂! Now I have no idea whether the intake VVT solenoid plugs into the wire harness connector closer to or furthest away from the front of the engine, and same for the exhaust! SOS! Help!

Both solenoids have the same part number and the same cable length, when you install it and root the cable properly you will see that the intake plug reaching at the front channel naturally and the exhaust at the rear channel.
