Your videos are brilliant. I went to night classes for 3 month to learn car maintenance and servicing. I’ve learnt more from watching your videos. Saving me a fortune on my merc services.
Thanks so much for your message Paddy, I think it's one of the nicest comments I have ever had! Really glad my videos have helped you, I'm trying to get more people doing their own car DIY and saving some money along the way. Cheers, Phil
great vid - easy to follow and a very easy DIY job - as i go now off to my local parts supplier to get filter and save my self some money vs paying the dealer to do the job for me 😀
@denisvlora1 Music to my ears! Love it when people take the time to comment and tell me they are going to DIY and save some money! Thanks for posting! 😎
Thanks! I believe the fastener is classed a Clic-R and these are the pliers for them (you can also use them on CV boot clamps) but I haven't used them personally! amzn.to/49vB4YK Cheers, Phil
@@ReviveMyRidethank you for the help. My car is taking longer to start in the morning and i have changed my car battery and fuel pump Is okay too. I dont think my fuel filter have been changed and i have done 70k so far. I normally service it with mercedes and all these years i thought they would change it but after watching your videos i realised they dont. Do you think this is causing the problem? I do start my car now after waiting 10 secs on 2 clicks in the morning. Planning to change it after seeing this fantastic video. Thank you again mate. Update: changed it and it was quick and easy bit of struggle with the clips to put back on but did the job. Thank you so much for your video. Car is running smoooootthhhhh😊

Very nice video thank very mach. I have an issue on my mercedes coupe e 250 diesel year 2010. The engine start well then in fez minutes it vibrate harder and harder sometimes it even stop when i accelerate there are some noises like a periodic crack or something. Then when temperature rises to 60°c a smelly smoke till 80° then everything runs good when the engine attemp 90°c. No problem at all when the engine is hot. In permenance the MIL is indicated and a a lots of fuel consomtion when the engine is under 90°c I changed the air filter and the gasoil filter change the oil with the filter. The electric diagnostic indicate P026600, P02F149, P02F049, P02EF49, P02EE49 default codes. The has only 87000km and i dont think its a problem of fuel injector what do you think?
Honestly, the best advice I can give is to go to a Mercedes specialist garage, specifically, they need to be equipped with Star or Xentry diagnostic systems as this will allow them to see much more than what the code is telling you. Many of your fault codes are pointing at the injectors (specifically injector 2) and this may be the problem but the engine management is also taking signals from elsewhere (for example the crank sensor) which might also be contributing to the problem. Hope that helps you some! Thanks, Phil
Hi Mike, yep it’s a C250D 👍 If you haven’t seen it, I have an air filter video too (and there are just a couple of tricky aspects to it, so worth watching if you’re going to do it). Also, if you want to save money but still get Merc Full service history (by doing some of the work yourself), then I did a bud here that might interest you! Cheers, Phil Mercedes B Service - RETAIN Mercedes Service History BUT SAVE £295 czcams.com/video/F-bA88cHbE4/video.html
@@ReviveMyRide that’s a great tip about preserving merc history. Annoyingly I just decided to save the whopping £750 (£1100 quote for all my jobs) by doing it all myself. I’m not too bothered about the MB history now it’s out of warranty. It’s a long term car for me. Great to know your vids are on the same model. Really helpful stuff!
@@mikesalkeld4465 Good on you doing all of the work yourself! There are few better long term cars than a Merc, especially the diesels, they just run and run! Yep, just keep receipts for the parts, fluids etc and it's almost as good as service history anyway!
Hi Phil, sorry I didn’t notice you replied. Haynes manual suggests draining water from the fuel filter at annual service. Watching other videos on Mercedes sprinter van, the black hose near the electrical connector allows water/diesel mixture to drain out. I wanted to learn from you.
@@kencolas Thanks for the message. I just watched a video on this, never come across a problem of water in the fuel filter before! I ran my last Mercedes diesel for 10yrs and my new one for 2years so far and never had to drain any water from the diesel fuel filter. Thanks, Phil
Thanks very much! That's a good question regarding the diesel filter! For my car C250d 4matic, it is every 46,500 miles / 3 years. But check out this sheet, fill in your details: for example car model, mileage 60500 (no comma) and date 1/6/2018 and click "B service". Scroll down to where it says "additional operations" and you'll see more info including the diesel filter interval. lite.servicemercedes.co.uk/ess/pc/
Hi, you see different answers for this around and I think it’s because the recommendation varies by region due to fuel quality. The one I see most often and that I work to is every 65k miles / or 5 years. Hope that helps! Thanks, Phil
W205 Today I tackled this as it would appear I had coolant leaking from underneath the car and warning on dashboard and when you looked around by the fuel filter housing and the egr cooler there was a build up clearly showing however I've fitted the new redesigned model can only fit two bolts as isn't slots for all three. However I took it for a test drive after refilling with coolant and now it appears the dashboard warning has came back on yet again? Any ideas or suggestions to what's happening?
I'm sorry, from your message above, I can't work out the problem you are asking about. What warning have you got on the dash? Are you trying to resolve a coolant leak or a diesel leak? What did you fit that only has two bolts instead of three? Thanks, Phil
Hi @SP-dl3tr I reused the clamps. If you are careful with them, you can often reuse them without any problems. However, it is a 13mm-14.5mm fuel line clamp and the Merc part no. is A0069971890 or you can buy a kit of zinc plated fuel line clamps. TBH this is what I had one standby just in case! amzn.to/41GCmw5 Hope that helps! Thanks Phil
Yes, that’s correct. You just turn the key, let the fuel pump run for a while, turn it back off and repeat and that will prime the new filter 👍 cheers, Phil
Hi, I have 2015 Infiniti Q50, I believe it's the same engine, Mercedes 2.2 diesel. I have the water in fuel filter light on. Would i need to replace the fuel filter or can i just drain it. Also, will removing the filter be the same process as demonstrated on this video. Thanks for posting.
Hi, sorry for the slow reply, I’ve heard about this water in the filter issue but never experienced it myself. I’m sure that I read that you just drain it. If the engine looks the same, then the process should be the same but I’ll be honest, I had no idea the Infinity had the same engine! Thanks, Phil
Hi, the Mercedes service schedule for the OM651 engine 2.2L Diesel is every 4yrs or 60,000 miles. I took my car in for a B service at around 60k miles and they said it was due, so I changed it myself. Hope that helps! 👍 Thanks, Phil
Hi @thenotoriousqais5075 There are actually quite a few things that it could be. If your fuel filter (shown in this video) has never been changed then it could be the problem. When your car needs the full supply of fuel, then a partially blocked filter can restrict the supply of fuel, causing hesitation. Fuel injectors that are dirty and no longer providing a "mist" into the cylinder (it becomes a stream of fuel instead) can cause the problem but usually on cars that have at least 100k miles and over 10yrs of use. Early signs of this is a lot of smoke (unburnt fuel) under hard acceleration. Also, again on older, high mileage cars, the diesel high pressure pump can begin to wear and not provide enough fuel pressure. However, the first thing you should do is see if any fault codes have been generated by the ECU, by reading them with a good fault code reader. If you don't already have one, the Nexpeak NX501 works well on Mercedes cars, that's what I use amzn.to/3DGRDU2. Fault codes can exist in the background without a check engine light or a warning light coming onto the dash. Hope that helps! Thanks, Phil
Sorry for the slow reply. My understanding is that these pliers will work but I haven't personally used them before amzn.to/3GgBWUc The hose clamps your are working with are commonly called "click clamps" Hope that helps, Thanks, Phil
Hi, I couldn't remember because I have subsequently sold this car but I did find a link that said the following: For diesels every 20k miles 2009-2014 cars, every 50k miles 2015 or new cars. Although information varies. I'm sure I was working to 60k miles and 5 years when I did mine... Here's a link: www.waltersmercedesbenzofriverside.com/service/mercedes-benz-c-class-service-intervals/ BTW, I found MB themselves to be the best price for the filter, so it's worth getting a price from them. Hope that helps! Thanks, Phil
Hallo, hier ist ein Link zu einem Luftfiltervideo! czcams.com/video/G4zFTfYevRY/video.html Leider habe ich noch kein Video für den Ölfilter gemacht. Danke, Phil
Really sorry, I can't remember and I don't have the car any more, so I can't go and check. In theory, the fuel will come into the filter from the back of the car, from the fuel pump back there, then it will come out of the filter and go to the high pressure fuel pump (normally on the front of the engine near the camshaft). Maybe that will help you track it down? Thanks, Phil
Hi Charles, do you mean that you guys don't have the Mercedes C class W205 in the USA? Or do you mean that particular diesel engine? It's a popular car and engine choice in the UK, so just interested to know more! Cheers, Phil
