Mercedes Hex Bolt - Genuine Mercedes 002990012264

Product Information

An engine intake manifold bolt is a high-strength fastener that secures the intake manifold to the engine cylinder head. These bolts ensure a tight seal between the manifold and the gaskets, preventing air, coolant, or vacuum leaks that could disrupt engine performance. Properly torqued manifold bolts are essential for maintaining engine efficiency, smooth airflow, and reliable combustion.

• Vacuum or coolant leaks around the intake manifold area.
• Rough idling or engine misfires, caused by unmetered air entering the system.
• Loose or missing bolts, leading to poor sealing and potential gasket failure.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
