At the time the new style wasn’t out but either way I don’t like or use the touchpad as I twist and move the wheel. I send map directions directly from my phone. Replacement was for aesthetic reasons 👍

@@caffienehigh53 I did this as a separate video as they are not always replaced at the same time👍👍

ENGLISH.

@@jasonswift7098 The owner's manual recommends adding 6.3 liters of oil during an oil change, but is it okay to replace only 5 liters?

@MarketMaven498 No! 6.3 with filter and 6 without. Personally I put in about 5.5 and then check the level and adjust so as not to overfill if for any reason not all of the old oil came out👍

@@MarketMaven498 No its not you put in the amount that is required don't just guess.

​@@jasonswift7098 Thank you!

The steering wheel felt more connected to the wheels! No real difference from the original but I think the HD parts are more about not wearing out so quickly?

@@mercedes_and_more i don’t know. Finding on google different opinions about Meyle HD. Some people talking about a good quality other have some issues with Meyle and recommending the Lemförder instegs as an original Mercedes arm manufacturer. The fact is that I need to change mine and Swedish prices of control arms have a lot of differences even when it comes to Meyle HD

@@lamoorproduction550 OE is lemforder. Also heard mixed about Meyle standards for replacement parts especially those made in china. HD are still made in Germany and for me were about the same price as Lemforder (MB was twice the price for a reboxed lemdorder part!) so HD it was. Look very well made

If you scroll down through the “Mercedes” playlist on my KZbin channel then you will see a video explaining how to do it 👍

I jacked up the bottom of the hub/control arm to replicate wheel on the ground as I don’t have a lift

@@mercedes_and_more that is a good idea to measure from central of wheel to understand how long is it from middle point even when a car is jacked. I mentioned that your arm is different, I think it’s because of air suspension. Mine have no pin on it.

@@napalmet4ever that’s always the way in the reality of older cars. But at least you did it yourself so inner satisfaction!

No issues with reusing the old sensor if it’s not broken 👍. PS: do not use Brembo, go with ATE and ceramic pads. Brembo’s I fitted only last 10k km before warping.

Ah ok thanks ... I'll change next time with brake disc..

So pleased to know I was able to help you. That’s exactly what the channel is about 👍

The figures in the video description are 100% correct and taken from the workshop manual. I think the narrative on the video and the way I describe is at odds with the text so I’ll do better next time to be more accurate!

My email address is in the channel description or you can contact me via FB PM. Links are in the channel description 👍

Yes it was the original belt. The belt looked ok but was clearly stretched! Ref AT: for Europe it is every 125,000 km but can vary for other markets.

No problem 👍

Agreed but having the correct tool means you don’t damage the pads if you are not replacing them 👍

Yes and No. I now know that every making surface needs to be wire wheeled to make it look like new before putting the disc on the hub and the wheel on the disc. Also tightening the wheels to 20, 75 and then 150 nm must be followed. My Brembo discs warped after 10k but ATE are doing excellently after 50k and fitting ceramic pads really does keep down brake dust. That said I stop here a wobble from 55 to 50 kph but no other speed! Replacing the totally knackered suspension components made no difference.

@@mercedes_and_more did it make any Diference after changing the wheel bearings?

@jonhdoe6260 no it didn’t. The only thing that changed was a decrease in dB’s from the front wheels 😂

@@mercedes_and_morewire wheeled?

@jotapitas yes. Wire wheel the hub of replacing the rotor/disc. If just replacing the pads the wire wheel where the disc/road wheel mating surface 👍

I haven’t really delved too deeply into the control app but there are various settings to adjust the sensitivity and if it stays on after you switch off the car etc. I did try leaving it on monitor but car didn’t like it and said the battery was low after about 30 mins. Since then I just have it set to on when the car gives it power (ie when you start the engine and when you switch it off) as (personally) I just want it as a witness to any road/driving incident because living in Germany there are a number of cases where the police will automatically blame one driver so I might need to be able to prove otherwise!

@@mercedes_and_more thanks so much! Love your videos

@@mercedes_and_more hey I just installed it using your video! Found it bit longer to take off and putting on the cover with all the extra cables, I also got rear so could be the reason why. But when your driving, silly question but does the dash cam get warm?

@anthonyhoang9715 I’ll be honest I’ve never checked!!! I’ll have a feel tomorrow!!

@@mercedes_and_more hahaha all goods! Just being very Skeptical naturally haha also final question do you do 1 min or 3 minute loops appreciate all your help!

No. Just Jack the car up as you would normally 👍👍

Not quite! The connection for the camera plugs into the wiper connection to get power and then the other end of the coupling plugs into the wiper (in other words it splits the connection but allows the wiper to work normally). Hopefully that makes sense?

@@mercedes_and_more this makes sense. Thank you for clarifying

@@defacto8408 a little bit, but I’ve always had that since new! Decision to replace was based on the state of the joints when I was replacing the sway bar/anti roll bar drop links.

@@mercedes_and_more i am having problem when steering left full turn, i feel grinding on my steering wheel, and also cluncking sound (bum,bum,bum) when i turn and hit a higher ground or bump...

I can’t check right now but can have a look next week when I’m back from holiday 👍

@@mercedes_and_more hello thank you very much for your answer it's really kind yes if it doesn't bother you I'm waiting for your return please forgive me for the inconvenience :-) see you soon

M12 bolts 120nm. If M14 bolts then 80nm + 45 deg. If an E53 model then 150nm + 45 deg

@@mercedes_and_more Thank you!

@@jamess.5745 that’s great to hear. Money saved is always good; you can only spend it once!

@@TheJonDeni no exactly the same as they are a one for one swap but i suspect there is slightly less compression when fully loaded? Either way the van feels alot more stable on the road 👍

@@bassamshehab90 i think the auto translate has lost something in translation. I could not work out how to remove the plastic too but so replaced the whole thing. Hopefully that answers your question?

@@JamesBond-hy4kv think one is to freeze the picture and the other is for taking a still picture. Personally i just let it do is thing as if the worst happens it keeps hours of footage and has a crash sensor to stop the filming after an impact

@@whereskill yes but the principle is the same for 4matic but you need to push the drive shafts out from the hub to show release of the breathing so will need to split the hub from the ball joints first

@@mercedes_and_moresounds good, thanks for your response. Making it easier for us mercedes owners 🙏

🤔🤔🤔 not sure. I thought that the C class would be exactly the same. Maybe another C class owner can add comment?

It is basically part of the subframe bolted to the front chassis. I think the engine might be connected to this subframe but basically you are jacking the chassis not the engine 👍👍

Caliper bolts do not need to be renewed, just cleaned and new thread locker. I now have ATE discs and the plastic screw is very robust so don’t worry 👍👍

Thanks for your reply, very appreciated. I remember having read that on the little screw a thread lock should be aslo applied and was just wondering when I saw that plastic screw.., normally we do not apply a thread lock on plastic screws, if I am not wrong.

Hi l, I have just completed the job, all fine. I have been still thinking about the yellow plastic screw. The brakes do have to be resistant to high temperatures, just wondering if the plastic screw would not melt. What do you think? I woud feel better with the original or any metal screw if it fits. Worth to investigate maybe?

@DODIKUA it won’t melt. Trust me it’s a 100% solution 👌

By the way how do you lift the rear of the car in order to place stands? There is no central lifting point I believe.
