Id like to see more functional talk of repair function. less nuts/bolts which we all do in any job. Ive had fuel gage failure and several issues and probably the rear sam, Id be testing function before ever replacing all the panels.

you make the best videos .. i thought you had to loosen the shock mount, caliper to be able to remove the ball joint side but you didn't so this is so much easier ..mhh

Spot on, had to change mine out based on the same issues. Thanks for the the video.

I like all your videos but It seems to me that your wet sanding would completely remove all the clear coat you applied.

Everyone has the same unanswered question! How did you get that last cover off??!!!

No way I could get the Inner race out. Ended up cutting a “groove” and cracking with a chisel. Still had to hammer it out. Next time I’ll just buy the whole assembly and save myself some headache.

I replaced the actuator. When I want to bring the window down to install the door panel, in about 3” down seems the it hits something and do not go any further down. What is causing that?

I wouldnt put a bearing in like that but if it works it works

By the way, Car-D- Ologist is such a clever name. 😊❤

A masterful demonstration of how to replace a door lock actuator. You are a great teacher. At times I was getting dizzy with the camera movements and then realized the camera man was a young helper who did the best he could under the circumstances. More power to both of you and best wishes. Glen

Thank you for the helpful video.

For the next time you can warm it up with a hair dryer for few seconds. Than it will slide very easy inside the Rubber.

You did this whole job with the car on jack stands? Wow.

Thank you! This was so clear and helpful!

Lovely job but please buy a tripod!

Thanks 🫡

thx 👍

There's another video where someone cleaned corrosion off the front PCB SAM module (under the hood) using stiff brushes and Isopropyl Alcohol and it fixed the problem. As long as corrosion doesn't short out components or damage any electrical traces it could be salvaged.

Thanks you for this! very helpful!

Thank you my dear brother You are very smart.

Thank you very much my dear brother

Thank you for making this video, it was very helpful. I did the same thing you did and replaced my flex discs first and then realized I should have changed the center bearing and support bracket. Now I'm ordering it from FCP Euro and I got to take all that crap out again but at least it will be done right. You are curious, I own a 2007 CL 550 with 230,000 miles on it

Great vid,I have a 2000 E320 Wagon,I think it needs this procedure, I have to let the car warm up alot so the transmision does not give me any problems,feels dry,gears take longer or shift hard,after the car it's really hot transmision works fantastic !

I'm betting the 10mm and screw in the wheel well area on my car is rusted in.

Newbie question, when you do driveshaft job, did you put shift in P or N, to get access to those bolt on flex disc?

Hello; Fine video and very usefull. I was just obliged to transpose it for my E320 CDI, which is a 2001 Modell. I've 2 questions: - do you confirm that there is no reset button of the following oil change alert for these models ? - accordind to your experience, which are the other operations to do at he same time of oil changing ? Thanks a lor for yout work. Sincerely

I need a kit

Definitivamente malisimo, nunca lo recomendaria, mal procedimiento y nunca saco el aire de los conductos por eso chilló la licuadora

From France.I ve a 2.7litre cdi clk 2002. Mercedes here said the rubber boot was out of production. Is it the same piece for all models and do you have parts number.looks identical.

Is that a stock radiator or a z3? I’ve heard people going with z3

Very good video. Just changed all six on my 2006 E320 CDI. No issues. The torque wrench method to remove is a Great tip. Spray penetrating fluid in all the holes and let it sit a few days or so. Drive the car as normal with many heat and cold cycles and it will make removal a lot easier. Take your time and things will work fine.

Hello friends,Is it necessary to loosen the center bearing support to remove the flexible discs from both ends of the transmission?

Nice floor

I have. A 2005 CDI

very educative. thank you

Fantastic tutorial, uncomplicated and straightforward. May I ask( even though this an older vid,) would you think the torx E18 bolt would be the same on a 2006 CLS 350 W219. I have the exact same job to do, and I’m uncertain if it would be the same size. I don’t wanna start the job and find I do not have the correct socket. I know I’m late to the party, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Keep up the top notch work. Liked and subscribed👍

I’m following your video and my cheap ball joint breaker just destroyed itsself :/ any tips on what I can do now? I’m wondering if using a jack to apply upwards pressure will be enough due to the car weighing down on it ?

Eccellente lavoro! Ciao from 🇮🇹

Thank u so much for the detailed video, I think I'll have to do the same to my w211.

It is very, very true. It should be tighten further when the car is on full load. I changed my rear absorber and although it is brand new, it gives a squeak sound every time I drove on a hump. Damn machines.. I have to DIY!

very educative. Thank you regards

Really enjoy and appreciate your videos and the work you have done on them. I own a 2006 E320 CDI and now has just over 300,000 miles on it. I get great gas mileage. Last year was on the Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile recreational road and scenic drive through three states. I set the cruse control at 57 MPH. The posted speed limit is actually 55 MPH. I got just over 57 miles per gallon with my car. It's is, as well all know, a diesel engine. While I did not start off with a full tank of fuel, I could have driven the whole thing without stopping to refuel. Again, thanks for your channel. It has explained a whole lot of things about my car.

Nice Video... BUT - all the Torque settings you gave a nm, were actually FT LBS. So, just in case anyone does this, if you torque those bolts to 85nm, when they should be 113nm, beware. In fact, anytime folks give you torque settings, you should always double check with the Mercedes manual (or google it). Other than that, nice video.

Man this is 9 years old and still up to date :) just done a full service on my W211 E220 CDI.

Thank you!!!

Hello there sir, I am glad I found you! ☺ I have a problem with my audio system that I hope you can assist with. I got the MS Word document to show you exactly what I did and how everything looks but I unfortunately can't upload any sort of file on KZfaq. Is there a way I can show you the file with the pictures please, and then take it from there? Eagerly awaiting your response. Thanks.

Love that this video is still on KZfaq. Almost December 2023, and it’s coming in real handy! Not only is your video extremely informational and instructive, but simultaneously thoroughly entertaining. Great work👏🏼😎

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsyqZNeGmanFf58.htmlfeature=shared When the temperature is lower outside, it behaves like in the video. In summer there are no such problems. Does this have anything to do with the injectors? It doesn't report an error... Best Regards.
