Thanks Mike 😊
Hi was wondering if you can help me. I have to disconnect and reconnect my battery to get the top working. Once I get it to work properly it will keep working great. The problem of that once I drive it somewhere it won’t close. It thinks it’s closed because the pump will only try if I pull back the tab. I then have to disconnect and reconnect the battery until the soft top starts working again. Again. It will work perfectly once I do this. But once I drive it somewhere I’ll have to reset it again. Thanks. Idk where to figure this out
Watch my other video on how to test all the Top sensors, I have a playlist on R129 top.
Great tutorial, every high mileage Merc with these engines is going to have these issues. Probably worth changing the cam shaft sensors and magnets while the accessories are unbolted.
Yes, thanks, I have actually replaced the cam sensors and magnets too, video will come soon.
Can I do this with a 2004 CLK 500 ?
@@Scarfaxe007 Certainly :)
This was so helpful and for whatever reason gave me so much happiness to do! 😂
@@alocacoc1950 👍
Great video. Would it throw a code if i have more than 10% loss? I am having symptoms such as a choppy idle that is intermittent and feels like misfire sometimes.. also occasionally white smoke comes out the tailpipe only when the car is idle. I have no codes. Also is this method better than the one I have seen where you need to pressurize the cylinder with an air compressor? I also thought the crankhsaft had to be turned manually i've seen in some videos.
It is good to check compression for consistency that way you can omit the mechanic side of the engine out of the equation and it might throw a code in a severe case. Check the EGR, check the secondary air pump system. I have comprehensive video on this.
@@BenzAddiction I’ll check that out. If my problem happens after the car has been running for a while could that still be the secondary air pump?
@Dnasty1 in that case also check your crankshaft sensor. I have another video on this.
Brand new to Mercedes, or anything German except for a Cabrio I bombed in for fun. Key fob is dead on the 2007 CLK550 just got, is this something I can do myself or am I screwed?

Im having an issue wiring a similar bluetooth adapter to a blaupunkt stereo in my w123. I have wired the adapter into the main ground wire and the 12v ignition switch wire. It works and connects to a phone, and then suddenly the light goes off and bluetooth disconnects. Any ideas?? The funny thing is when I first wired it it i tested it for a while and it was just fine, next day it is disconnecting
Double check your wirings, you might have a lose wire or connection.

Seems like the video breaks up right after you mention the wiper and turnsignal relays. What are the silver and white ones? I cant get either power seat to move, wondering if the problem is there?
Wonderful educational video, many thanks! I think you mentioned another step that wasn’t shown , cycling the fluid in the lines through the system. Is that not necessary?
Hi mate, thank for the feedback. R129 top hydraulic is self bleed, you just need to open and close roof once and it will be done.
@@BenzAddiction got it thanks! Getting my first MB this weekend, picking up a 2000 SL500 from my brother, very excited so have been watching and learning so much from you, thanks for all that effort!
@buckboy5674 That's a great choice, congrats. It will serve you well I am sure, M113 is a fantastic engine.
Great video thanks. Sorry this is off topic but as it's a recent video perhaps someone who can help will see this. I have faults on my CLK but no codes are identified when scanned at the garage (perhaps the software needs updating?) I don't own a scanner so is there a way I can check for myself without a scanner? I've heard that some vehicles show up the codes if you turn the key to position 2 then off 3 times whilst holding down the brake pedal. Any thoughts on this please?
I hope someone answers your question but I think W209 is not equipped with such a thing to show you an error code. If you want to keep your car I highly recommend you to buy a proper diagnosis tool.
@@BenzAddiction Thanks, I think you're right. I should mention that I carried out the transmission reset from one of your other videos and it has solved a couple of problems (car not wanting to change up into 5th and occasionally getting stuck in 1st or 2nd gear). Thanks for that and please keep on doing what you're doing - your videos are very thorough and informative.
That is a very sweet vehicle indeed, thanks for sharing.

Good job Maxi, thanks for sharing your experience 🙏👍
@@sarahsepehr1537 👍
Your camera angles are simply amazing as if we are also working on your W164..! A few experience to share: - I replaced my 722.6 fluid with MB-approved Shell 134 by inserting the fluid extractor tube. It reaches all the way down to the oil pan. This method avoids getting down the car & no need to open the pan or filter. - I use weight to measure fluid removed instead of volume with a simple postage scale so this avoids hot old fluid vs new cold fluid volume difference. My case came out 2700 gram (3.3L). Diff 722.6 will hold diff oil quantity. Final fluid level is set about 88°C from transmission module read-out & also inserting the 722.6 dipstick. - Lucky you do this in the winter. Here in Southern California, outside temp is easily 30~40°C so the fluid level adjustment window is very very short. I recently did my Toyota 6 speed fluid change which requires the same STUPID MB fluid check method. I had to stop my engine so the tranny temp doesn't keep raising beyond 40°C 😅 Amazing presentation as always 💯
Thanks mate, thanks for the tips. 👍
Great video Max . This will be very helpful to many people.
@Leonardo555ZZZ Thanks Leonardo 😊 🙏
Very satisfying project for most of the cars from 2005 to 2015 that saves you hundreds of dollars in servicing if you do this as a DIY. When was the last time you changed the transmission fluid on your 722.6 or 722.9?
@salvationbygracethroughfaith Hi mate, well, I think 722.9 is a robust and durable transmission already. This was the first fluid and filter change after 200K km, and the fact that it had not much metal particle and sludge can certify that fact. But for a 350 engine, I think that kind of modification is bit more than needed. Thanks for the tip though.
Just followed your very easy to follow instructions for both the TCU and ECU. Finally the transmission shift as it used to. It would dog around corner and the RPM would increase when shifting from 3rd to 4th and now doesn't. The idle was always pretty good but sounds better now at around 500 RPM. Thanks for the tips and I will do them both et each oil change.
@plhuckels1957 Glad it helped;)
Idk what is more cool, the car or the music,
😀
I am not an expert but did your new NTG2.5 command unit come from a Mercedes with Harmon Kardon audio with external amplifiers? Maybe the head unit is expecting external amplifiers and the internal amplifier is disabled?
I have tried disabling and enabling the external amp with no results. Unfortunately my conclusion is that the AMP used on Mercedes-Benz after 2009 is different so the older ones can not be recognised by the new head unit.
@@BenzAddiction I agree with your conclusion. Is it feasible to add and wire a 2009 or later AMP in your 2006?
@barrydandrews I think it is. But might as well wire the speakers direct from the head unit, let's see in the second video 😉
Hey i have the same car CLK 320 cleaning the air filter will make it acceralate better ?
Theoretically it should as the flow of air would increase. Practically it depends how old or dirty your air filter is now.
Hmmm do you really have to put some force on the gear shifter? I seem to be having issues with my c230 where I can’t get it off
Shouldn't really. Just put the gear in D.
@@BenzAddiction I’ll give her another go later today, there’s just nothing to grab on to so might have to pry it open
@I.Fumblebee.I That's the way, be patient not to break the trims as the original parts are hard to find and expensive. Good luck.
Hi. Thanks for the video. What tools are you using at 1:42? It looks like 3 different tools. A ratchet and 2 others. Which are they please?
That's a dial indicator but you don't need that really.
@@BenzAddiction Thank you. But I mean what are you using to turn the pulley? What is attached to the ratchet? I need to adjust my crankshaft pulley to 305 degrees, but I don’t know what tool I need to actually turn it.
In other words, what size or type of socket are you using to turn the pulley? Where can i buy one?
@@joshb6361 27mm socket.
Verry Nice 👍 and if I buy a new one , I have to ajust it ? Thank you
The new clock spring should come fixed in a package so there should be no adjustment necessary.
Now they’re plastic fantastic !
I have 07 Mercedes w221 I get p410 and it won’t start. Any idea?
The engine won't start or the air pump? If the engine won't start has nothing to do do with this code. Find another reason.
No codes come up at all
Why its not working on my clk

Thank you soo much .. i found the solution for my g class because of this video .. thank you again Abdulla from bahrain🇧🇭
Glad it helped brother.
What type of pin is used for the pulley Where can I get Thanks
I'd you mean a pin for the idler pulley to lock in place, you can use a 3mm drill bit.
Anything high mileage sounds like youre gonna be looking for a mechanic fast..who are usually clueless about import cars
