Fault codes P2006 (bank 1 runner flaps/P2007 bank 2 runner flaps), loss of low-down engine torque, rod broken or lifted upon physical inspection A rod on the intake manifold wears and fails causing vehicle faults Mercedes OM642 V6 vehicles suffer issues with the intake manifold, the swirl flaps within this manifold are controlled by an external operating rod. This is made of a poor-quality plastic which wears prematurely. Over time the plastic wears at the connection points with the manifold, creating an oval shape which eventually lifts up the rod leading to breakages causing the faults noted above. Install our replacement aluminium rod and restore your manifold. Our repair kit is the best solution to this fault. The manufacturer will advise to replace the entire intake manifold (£600+). The new manifold would come with the same plastic rod attached which will lead to the same problem further down the line. Our rod comes complete with anti-friction adaptors meaning no wear. 2 x aluminium rods with sensor pick up points. (compatible with all models with and without sensors) Will fit left and right-hand manifolds. 6 x Insert retaining clips 6 x Anti-friction adapters
