[mercmancdi]

Removing inlet manifold from 1995 e300 d to change heater plugs and the plastic bits in the picture are brittle and 2 are broke off at the inllet manifold .
whats the best way to take out broken bit as i assume they are just push in and also what the correct name for these bits . thanks

I am not of the exact name, but it looks to be part of the crankcase breather which vents into the inlet manifold.

Normally what I do is to look up the system on EPC then circle the part and send to my local dealers.

Have you got your VIN to hand?
