MAN 81082010426 Intake Pipe

Description

The MAN 81082010426 Intake Pipe is a crucial component within the engine's intake system. It connects the throttle body to the intake manifold, facilitating the flow of air into the engine for combustion. This pipe is designed for optimal airflow and engine performance. Constructed with durability in mind, this intake pipe ensures a reliable connection and contributes to efficient engine operation. Its dimensions are 195 x 550 x 720 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This part’s job is pretty straightforward – it’s a pathway for clean air to get from the air filter box, through the mass airflow sensor, and right into the throttle body, and ultimately the engine. It’s basically a duct, designed to handle a specific volume of air and maintain a good seal. It’s usually made of a flexible rubber or plastic material, so it can handle engine movement and vibrations without cracking. Think of it as a key piece of the breathing system for your engine. The engine needs a constant supply of air to mix with fuel for combustion. This pipe is the last leg of that clean air delivery. It connects directly to the throttle body which controls how much air gets into the engine – that's why a good seal and no cracks are so important. It’s positioned right after the airflow sensor, so it doesn’t interfere with the sensor’s readings, but still needs to be airtight.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this pipe develops a crack or a leak, unmetered air gets into the engine. That messes with the air/fuel mixture, and the engine computer has a hard time compensating. You’ll notice if it’s a bad leak – usually rough idling, a check engine light, or even reduced engine performance. Sometimes it’s a slow leak, and you might just notice a little hesitation when you accelerate. It's not something you want to ignore, as it can lead to more serious problems down the road. You can find replacements pretty easily online – we have a good selection at Fixparts Online, or you can find them at most auto parts stores. It's a relatively inexpensive part, and a fairly simple repair for someone who’s comfortable doing a little work on their vehicle.
