Problem with c220 cdi 2012 loud wooshing noise coming from left side

[Omar Shazad]

My car went into limp mode a few days ago......i can hear a loud air pressure leak from the left of car.......changed intercooler pipes......the trottle body seals but still has not resolved problem........can the intake manifold have a leak.....any1 experience anything like this b4????

Is it the intercooler? The pipes are the obvious culprits, especially the one going from the turbo to the intercooler. If you've done the pipes and seals, then the inlet manifold wouldn't be high on my list.

Intercoolers can rot from the outside as a result of salt on the roads in winter.

Ive checked the intercooler and it seems fine gues il have to do a pressure test see if i can detect the leak.......it may be the inlet manifold.....

Inlet manifold bolts are known to break and leak.
