Yeah, this works. Thanks for your e320 vids. Tips: Use the 3/8 tubing from Home depot and the 3/8 barb. Use a small styrofoam cup(break the top off if needed) to catch the fluid from the res. I did this while really spilling almost nothing - I had never had an idea of how to accomplish this task before watching the video. Really thankful for your video - well done. The OM648 powertrain is probably the best I have ever owned.....the car/body is probably one of the worst.
@@gabem9937 Have had W124 and W126, have had 2 W211's. I think MB was still learning how to make cheap cars(well) with the W211. Just my experience, little things like falling headliners, plastic parts that break, sun visors(oh man, the crap sun visors). But, they don't really seem to be built that well for a cheap car either, in comparison to say, Toyota. Just an opinion, hopefully informed. But, as I said, I think the powertrain on the E320 CDI, is the best diesel I have owned.
@@rednekarson Indeed the sun visors are a pain. I drive a Model 3 occasionally for work and the build quality is unbelievably poor.. when I get back into my w211 it feels like the most solid car in the world. Not as solid as a w123 or 6th gen Camry, but at least a lot better than many new cars out there. +1 for the cdi powertrain.
Great vid , however it is recommended to bleed the system and get rid of air b4 you start the engine then do it again with engine on . Thx for the videos 👍👍
@Car D, Thank you for your vid, I am going you use this method as soon as my fluid arrives. Why didn’t didn’t you place the waste container on the floor instead of on top of the engine? I’m thinking less mess, the hose would empty into the waste container as soon as it was disconnected or is siphoning a problem?
Hi Mr Car D . Ologist , I am appreciated your Video , it’s an educational for my next project. But I had a question that what about those old steering oil inside the rack and pinion ??? How can I get it’s out ??? Do you have any idea??? Thank you in advance !!! 🤔👍👌👏
Thank you for this video! I guess you used Pentosin CHF 11S, right? Also please tell me if that amount of bubbles is normal while you flushing the fluid?
You might want to wear gloves when doing any jobs with fluid. The golden rule; if you won't drink it then you need to wear gloves. Thanks for the video.
Great video. If you end up changing your brake fluid could you film that? I am planning on doing mine without Star using a pressure bleeder once I get some time.
So, I just did this but went to the dealer because to do it correctly, you need to have Star Diagnostics. If you power bleed, you can clear the brake fluid reservoir and the lines, but will not clear the internals of the SBC pump -- which is the most expensive and important component of the braking system. I took advantage of the covid 19 situation and used a 25% off dealer service coupon when they had no business and only spent $270. Not bad.
Hey so I got an 05 e55 I was drifting with it and all of a sudden steering went hard, opened the hood I saw sum leak by the Reservoir after that’s I replaced the rack and pinion, power steering pump. And the reservoir still the same steering is really tight and hard to move not sure what the problem is I would really appreciate if you could help me thanks
You will fill the system with air draining the system. Then you need to add clean. Then let the car sit overnight with clean fluid because you may have foam from mixing air with fluid. Then you will need to slowly turn the wheel to flush the system again just to get the air out.
Really appreciate your videos, I wish you had more. Of course that means that your car would be broken more often, and that's not what I wish for you. Anytime you want to flush the transmission oil and make a video? I'll be waitn'
@@card.ologist4570 I found thats not necessary to unplug the SBC, I even accidentally opened the passenger door with the caliper off and pads out, it pressured the SBC but did nothing else, I opened the caliper bleeder screw to compress the piston to get the new pads in.
Yes, it is. I looked into this. I wanted to replace the reservoir because it contains the filter -- but it was not available for sale -- and the ones that were had a different orientation of the outlet pipes. This must mean that the power steering pump is different for the diesel.
The color of Mercedes power steering fluid is red-brown. Unless it turns black it does not need to be changed. I guess you used Pentosin CHF 11S that is green in color.
Hi! Your car sounds just like mine. I notice you have the same 165hz "groan" that mine does. I'm wondering if that's normal or if perhaps there is a pulley or tensioner going bad? Hopefully it's normal :)
You could always remove the belt and check the pulleys for excessive play, my tensioner went at 135,000 also at the same time a found a bad idler so I replaced both, but with the engine running you can look down at the belt and see if the belt is tracking straight and not wavering.
@@liamdavitt1297 No, unfortunately I never did and since the weather has turned colder, I don't hear it as much. So I'm wondering if perhaps it's the aux fan bearing or maybe a pulley/tensioner is behaving differently with the temperature change. I do still hear it from time to time tho. Is yours very noticeable as well? To me, it's not quiet or subtle whatsoever. I just wish I could figure out what it is.

You could just start the car and the while system would be flushed
Why do you think the w211 is one of the worst?

Thanks for sharing, thanks to your video's I now do all stuff on my own W211 E320CDI
Amazing thank you so easy yet simple
Great video, thank you sir!!
very educative. Thank you regards

he sounds like pauly shore ,,great video

This method is for normal steering rack or parametric/variable?
GOOD JOB

I wouldent drink piss so should i ware gloves when haveing a wee 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For what?
Ingenious way to swap out old for new
Hi,How many mm is the hose?
Still have the car? done a timing chain tensioner yet?
Dankeschön ❤

Good job, congrats.
Please keep doing this videos, theyre very usefull to work with my C30-AMG cdi.
Thanks a lot
How many liters fluid did You use? 2 or less? Do You remember?
Hey so I got an 05 e55 I was drifting with it and all of a sudden steering went hard, opened the hood I saw sum leak by the Reservoir after that’s I replaced the rack and pinion, power steering pump. And the reservoir still the same steering is really tight and hard to move not sure what the problem is I would really appreciate if you could help me thanks
Power steering solenoid
Can you flush out most of the old fluid first by turning left-right before you add the new stuff in?
You will fill the system with air draining the system. Then you need to add clean. Then let the car sit overnight with clean fluid because you may have foam from mixing air with fluid. Then you will need to slowly turn the wheel to flush the system again just to get the air out.

He has a transmission flush video from a few years ago. Check his other videos.
It's done -- check out my video. czcams.com/video/-7IhwezUrUA/video.html
I have the same car the same model and I have a question for you:
Are you deactivating the SBC system when you do the job break pads job?
You can simply unplug connector that goes to SBC pump.
How to install star diagnosis czcams.com/video/zPha-2OW92c/video.html
I don't have Star Diagnostics, so I unplug the large black plug going into the SBC unit -- then plug back in when I'm done
@@card.ologist4570 I found thats not necessary to unplug the SBC, I even accidentally opened the passenger door with the caliper off and pads out, it pressured the SBC but did nothing else, I opened the caliper bleeder screw to compress the piston to get the new pads in.
GREAT JOB!!!! IS THE GAS W211 POWER STEERING FLUID PUMP RESSOVOIR DIFFERENT FROM THE DIESEL?
Yes, it is. I looked into this. I wanted to replace the reservoir because it contains the filter -- but it was not available for sale -- and the ones that were had a different orientation of the outlet pipes. This must mean that the power steering pump is different for the diesel.
if chris fix did this video it would have 10million views
how much fluid you need for flush ? Pentosin is not cheap...
I think maximum is 2 litter ( in Europe measurement) !!!

@@jadesluv Good idea
I have the same noise. Did you ever figure it out?

I just used an old hose and an empty Coke bottle.
It's definitely not perfect because there is noise coming from the pump.
Probably air, it will come out.
Definitivamente malisimo, nunca lo recomendaria, mal procedimiento y nunca saco el aire de los conductos por eso chilló la licuadora
