Product Information

Part number: MER-1705000400 is a new, unused Genuine Mercedes intercooler. Intercoolers typically reduce the temperature of the air that has been pressurized by a turbo or supercharger. That pressurized, cool air is ideal for performance as more fuel can be mixed and thus more horsepower created. As a result any leak in the intercooler itself will greatly degrade performance as the system will not be able to maintain the needed pressure. One way to check for an intercooler system leak is to spray soapy water on the system as the car runs. Wherever you see bubbles forming you have a leak.

Genuine Mercedes parts surpass the quality of aftermarket parts in all categories. Genuine Mercedes parts offer predictable performance, incredible service life and will ensure your vehicle will continue running at its absolute best.

Intercooler

An intercooler is a heat exchanger used in turbocharged or supercharged engines to cool the compressed air before it enters the engine’s intake manifold.

Purpose:

  • Reduce air temperature: Compressed air from the turbo or supercharger heats up; cooler air is denser and contains more oxygen, which improves combustion efficiency.
  • Improve engine performance: Cooler, denser air allows more fuel to burn, increasing power.
  • Protect the engine: Reduces the risk of knocking and excessive thermal stress.

Intercoolers can be air-to-air (uses ambient air to cool the compressed air) or air-to-liquid (uses a coolant or water). They are typically mounted in front of the radiator or in a dedicated location in the engine bay.

Intercooler Failure Symptoms
  • Reduced Engine Power or Boost: Leaks or blockages prevent the engine from receiving properly compressed, cooled air.
  • Hissing or Whistling Noise: Air escaping from cracks or loose connections under boost produces noticeable sounds.
  • Increased Intake Air Temperature: Engine may run hotter, reducing performance and efficiency.

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.
