That is the upper air intake tuning valve. The O-rings cost like $8 each, but as you can see are easy to change. Should be able to pick them up at any auto parts store.

this o-ring looks defect or?

Here are two air intake tuning valves, the upper one is simply to change, the down one is i think only possible to change when i removed the intake manifold or?

Shalom!, I am supposed to visit Israel later this year. My best friend is an Israeli living in Canada.

To clean your IMT unit, just wipe with a cloth, no special cleaner is needed. It already looks nice and clean there. You can fit a new oring on the lower unit without removing it completely. Just pull it out part way and unplug the wires, then you can stretch the oring on from the outside.

If you get the new orings from the dealer the issue should be fixed for a long time.
