Detailed Description

The Vaico V30-1612 is an engine crankcase breather hose used in the emission control and crankcase ventilation system. It is specified for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, and Mercedes-Benz C230 applications with a connector-to-intake-manifold-flange position. The listed dimensions help confirm routing and fitment during replacement, especially when matching the hose to the original OE layout. This part number, V30-1612, is also referenced for service work where the crankcase ventilation hose has become brittle, cracked, or no longer seals properly.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 271 018 04 82 and A 271 018 04 82 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Cracked or split crankcase breather hose
• Oil vapor leakage at the intake manifold connection
• Unstable crankcase ventilation routing
• Vacuum-related drivability concerns from a damaged hose
• Visible wear, hardening, or collapse of the original hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the hose routing and connection points before installation, especially the intake manifold flange location. Compare the old hose length and shape to the new part, and verify the vehicle application by year, model, and engine bay layout before final assembly. For Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, Sprinter 3500, and C230 service, proper seating at both ends is important to maintain a secure crankcase ventilation connection.

Quality Assurance

VAICO supplies replacement components for European vehicle applications with OE-style fitment focus. The V30-1612 is built to match the specified dimensions and application requirements for the listed Mercedes-Benz models.
