    Thank you. Best video for spark replacement on Mercedes C Class. You even mentioned the longer wires, and where they suppose to go.

    I have a 2005 C320, 3.2L, is this the same procedure?

  • @robertschell8410
    @robertschell8410 Před rokem

    Thanks for the video. Are the wires important to replace. I'm doing valve covers, sparkplugs, but have not considered the wires. Any suggestions anyone?

  • @workinghandsautomotiveands4104

    Hey Brian great question. Is it better to take off the valve cover then do the plugs reason I asked is I'm doing a 03 e320 valve cover gaskets and plugs

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  Před 5 lety

      Working Hands Automotive Since you’re going to take the cover off anyways it will give you more room.

    does anyone know what the tool is called to remove the coils?

  • @Amored_Red_Ranger
    @Amored_Red_Ranger Před 6 lety

    Question, since you are removing an electrical connection with the ignition coils should you disconnect the battery when doing this job?

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  Před 6 lety +2

      jaymalb29 as long as you don't turn the ignition switch on you and you are OK

  • @mikejohnson5945
    @mikejohnson5945 Před 5 lety +1

    Silly question, but is it possible to cross up a&b on the coil pack to the plugs? Would that cause a problem with a misfie?

    • @jaalan7896
      @jaalan7896 Před 4 lety

      Probably not a misfire. Because both spark plugs go to the same cylinder. Im nly entireley sure what would happen.... lol

    Where you’d get the tool to get the coils off

  • @julioescoto8082

    what's the overall length of those wires I got some from Amazon and they all came 10.5" wires

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  Před 7 lety

      You may have gotten a universal set. The wires I installed on this vehicle had four wires that were slightly longer but I do not have the measurements for them.

  • @almightyheazyyy2329
    @almightyheazyyy2329 Před 6 měsíci

    Does this work for a 2002 c240

  • @wisdom1956

    I have a 2003 c240 is it an identical procedure?

  • @kf4dcy501
    @kf4dcy501 Před 8 lety +1

    it would have been helpfull to know the part number of that spark plug wire puller tool. if it's a factory tool, then a cross reference to a parts supply stores tool.

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  Před 8 lety

      Hello. Getting parts and tools List for you guys is something I am working on. I'm hoping to have that available to everybody in up-and-coming weeks. I'm working with the tool dealers and parts suppliers now. Thank you again for watching and stay tune for that up-and-coming tools and parts list.

    • @kf4dcy501
      @kf4dcy501 Před 8 lety

      +How to Automotive, thanks. i bought a set of spark plug wire pulling plier. i fear they aren't long enough to give me the leverage to compleat that job. they are a tool i found at autozone.

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  Před 8 lety

      +kf4dcy the wire puller I have are universal. They are pretty short that's why had to use the prybar. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write to me.

    • @kf4dcy501
      @kf4dcy501 Před 8 lety +1

      +How to Automotive i did a little reserch and found that m/b states a 17mm open end wrench will do it. I'm not sure if it needs thinning of the jaws on a grinder wheel or if it needs offsetting by taking a torch to one. the factory 17mm tool looks like a short jaw wrench and was made to do valve adjustments on 280 series m/b.

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  Před 8 lety

      It would be nice to have the factory tool. But you get in to a job and you got to use what you got. Thank for the Tip.

  • @4lifeBball7

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  Před 5 lety

      Bryson Sato i’d like to try to use the factory wins. Which were Bosch. There is the link for them in the description of the video

  • @rickmcphail7827
    @rickmcphail7827 Před 6 lety

    I have a 2003 E500. Is the procedure the same?

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  Před 6 lety +1

      Rick Mcphail that’s a nice car. I believe it is exactly the same.

    • @rickmcphail7827
      @rickmcphail7827 Před 6 lety +1

      How to Automotive it was fairly easy. Took about a hour

    • @HowtoAutomotive

      This is one of my very first videos when I did not have a tripod or camera mounts. I have all that stuff now so I show a lot more detail.
