Mercedes-Benz Engine Air Intake Hose - Burgaflex 1031410090

Product Information

The engine air intake hose channels clean outside air through the air filter and into the intake manifold. Depending on whether your engine is naturally aspirated or turbocharged, these hoses are typically made from flexible plastic or rubber, which can degrade over time. Maintaining a clean and sealed air intake system is essential for proper combustion of the air/fuel mixture. A damaged or failing air intake hose can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, compromised engine performance, and improper fuel mixture, potentially causing damage to the engine.

• Check engine light: The check engine light may come on and stay on, indicating a lean condition
• Rough idle: The engine may run rough at idle and under load
• Intake noises: Additional intake noises may be heard during acceleration as air rushes in between cracks on a broken intake hose
• Poor fuel economy: If there is not enough air, the engine will demand more fuel to compensate, leading to poor fuel economy

About Burgaflex

The company Burgaflex was established October 1st 1984 by Mr van Gastel and Mr. van Tilburg, who were working at the former American company Stratoflex Inc. in Roosendaal. This company manufactured hydraulic/ automotive/aerospace hoses and fittings for numerous applications. Burgaflex Holland today, is still in the exact same spot as where the company was originally founded, in Etten-Leur - Holland. Through the years Burgaflex developed their own production facilities for hydraulic and airconditioning fittings and tubing. More and more requirements from manufacturers of original equipment in the field of airconditioning hoses and hose assemblies lead to a further development of the product range of Burgaflex. The hose program expanded with oil, heater and airbrake hoses. In 2010 the general management took over the Burgaflex companies to lead the company into a further worldwide growth. Today, Burgaflex is a specialist in the manufacture of flexible hose equipment for both hydraulic and air conditioning systems, serving the commercial and automotive industries. Burgaflex is original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for several car manufacturers, including Bentley, Mercedes, Spyker, Tesla, and Volvo Trucks.
