Hi, at my wits end have 14A700 fault code = the negative control deviation during exhaust gas recirculation control is too high, have changed swirl flap motor and manifolds, EGR valve, exhaust pressure sensor, MAF on throttle body and throttle body but fault persists!! Any help appreciated. Car is 2011 E350 CDI 265 bhp with 200K miles, full MB service history.

Great video. I was getting the engine management light on, losing boost, so I bought a cheap code reader, and it came up saying i needed a new turbo, £2,300 i was quoted. Took the plunge, paid an independent garage to put it on the fancier diagnostic tool, and it was the actuator. Not a mechanic, but a socket set was all i needed and fitted it myself in under and hour, fiddly but doable. Immediately the light went out, boost returned and i was quite happy. The carbon build up on my exhausts is quite severe, so i think the next investment for me is an EGR valve. I've a 2008 320 CLS CDI.

Whats the average battery replacement on this thing

There's one near me. They want 2 grand for it bur it's 158k millage. I could go ans buy it tomorrow currently driving a type r fn2. What do you think at such high millage

Guy talks about trim and colour, really???

I took my MAF sensors out of the Intake and cleaned them and they went back in just fine, there are metal clips that hold the sensors in place. You are very wrong in saiyng that you have to buy the entire butterfly intake plastic piece. You can replace just the sensor, I did it and everyone else lol

Plugged in my OBD and it flagged up code P0244 waste gate solenoid A range / performance ? So I presume change the Turbo electronic Actuator would solve t the problem ?

Hello my car goes in safe mod on 150km per hour no codes ?

Can the old circlip be reused? Or is a new one needed? Thanks

Thanks for the video. I have an issue with the car going into a limp mode and only changing gear at just under 3000 rpm. It is throwing P0471 and P1593(00) error codes. The exhaust back pressure sensor was replaced a year ago due to the same symptoms. I am getting avg 3-4 PSI at idle and then increases to 9-10 at constant speeds and increases up to 25-40 psi when accelerating. Some of the MAF orange seals had splits so have replaced all of 4 of them. I've noticed that the MAF readings show one of the sensors showing 1/3rd less air flow past it. I have also run CATACLEAN through the system. Switching the car off and on again can clear the fault and I can drive 100 miles without issue. Then start the car after a very short journey the code pops up and car goes limp. Any recommendations?

Fucking love the pointer! Its like they used on those old Japanese car vids. Hilarious and effective 👈

Is jacking from the actual diff housing fine ?

Anyone know if you can post multiple parcels (going to different addresses) in one use? It seems like it would be slow to spend 40 seconds per package when you should be able to put in 10 packages into one locker.

Nice 😊

The 09 changed the drive suspension and a few tweaks here and there, the best one was 2007-2008, and i agree silver paint and black interior is an easy seller 👍

I love this car also,Its only 160k kilometer but I run into a bad luck so I had to change the waterpump in the gearbox ..1500 dollars and then the sensor for the adaptive lights in the rear broked(theres one in the left front too for the curves,,) they charge 600 dollars for a sensor even if only the arm is broken) but you could also just remove a fuse to dark the warning light but then you need to check the light settings to pass the cartest.However: I got 2 MB500s before and 2 BMW 750 and one 740 and could say that this 450h from 2007 beats them all in quitness,performance ,fuelconsumtion ,smoothness and also the reliability of electrical funcions in general but the corossionprotections could be a bit better under the car so lexus share the same corrosion issues as toyota in their older models espesially but I live in Sweden...If you live in LA you got rid of those problems;-)

Hello what fault code P123900 low boost presure

Hi mate, your video is very informative and is not boring at all, in fact i've watched twice, I hope you may know the answer, i have a 2015 ( 64) CLS 350 cdi bluetec and just had a service done, driving perfectly before, the mechanic manage somehow to break a return fuel line while he was replacing the fuel filter, got this replaced and put everything back as it was, engine is running as before on idle and no warning lights on the dash, however, after 3 or 4 miles there is no boost, put the foot down and nothing, try to paddle shift, nothing... no warning lights and no faults found via diagnostics... i really don't know where to start, i wish now i didn't had the service done.

Thank you for a very informative video! I have just purchased a 2008 GS450H SE-L with every conceivable extra - long test drive with no issues.However just over 300 miles later (Check Hybrid System) warning appeared on dashboard. Had reconditioned cells fitted and balanced so far so good, I now find that all of a sudden after about twenty miles or so the engine and ancillary items die completely! Where do I go from here LEXUS has failed!!!

I have got error for back preasure sensor. I put a new one and problems ocured ass soon as aplied boost. 😭

Fix for motor for variable flaps is what? I do t get a world of the explanation and i thought i am good at english..

Thanks fella

I can't find these. Can you link them?

Sad to see you got rid of it, but I get it. I just bought at auction a high-milage '09 ML280 CDI to fix up for a daily. Sight unseen other than 60+ photos and video walk around of it idling., but for a stupidly good price (1/3 price of what even the cheap ones are going for online). All I knew was that it has a CEL, but drives and has registration (Aussie MOT). Even if I have to do all of the common faults with these, I'll still be up $ wise, and I'll know what has been refreshed and be confident in it for hopefully another 200,000km's. Can you recomend a link for the resistor mod you spoke about for the EGR swirl flaps? My old BMW, I just removed and had them coded out, but this sounds much more DIY - and I'm a fan of that before paying someone to map it out!

Thanks for the no BS video, straight to the point, clear explanations and actually helpful for DYI'ers unlike a lot of the bigger channels that just waffle on with rubish. You have a new subscriber!

Great vid m8, cheers.

Thanks for the video about this amazing vehicle. I bought a used 2007 about 5 years ago. I have to be careful about chipping on it as most folks are clueless and appear skeptical regarding the capability. It’s very fast in standard mode but that center button on the console offers a performance option that gives it an extra kick.

Ahh, too short and not mine

Do you have to change the hybrid battery if you buy an older lexus like from 2007?

I drove a 2011 from San Francisco to Washington State. It really is a rocket on the highway.

Great video and your side mirror looks clean! I just had a jacket and fail on me the other day just as I was trying to remove the jack. I’ve now invested in a proper Jack with a 2t kg limit and two scissor jacks for this beast of a car 😅

night time video? what where you thinking. daytime would be more helpfull.

You did a great job, also want to point out the no readings from the maf sensor and a blown 15 amp fuse due to the swirl flap failure, I found this. It saved the day. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnSQmX6se9uViMUsi=2hvn_QWa-0ugYhIt

Great job you did there! I would like to buy a used Honda Civic 2.2L diesel, but I’ve read that due to the heavy torque they’ll probably need a clutch + DMF replacement around 100K miles or so, which can work out pretty expensive. Is that accurate, in your experience?

Bought a 2007 GS450H with just 58k miles on it a few days ago its like a new car inside! Really quick car...i did a battery health check on it with dr prius app and its 65% capacity, it had an oil and filter done, just wondering should i get cvt oil changed is that an expensive job?

Thanks heaps

Never buy hybrid again i bought a gs450h 2years ago 12 months later $5grand for new hybrid battery then written off 4 months a go with insurance payout still cost about $29 grand life savings gone 👎👎

Is it possible to get an android head unit in this and still retain the stock screen functionality?

Just picked up a 2007 450 in a dark grey color, she drives like a dream. I appreciate you making this video.

Thanks, can't wait to try this on my 2004/5 Honda Accord as I have P0108 which indicates temperature sensor, but I've read it's often MAP?

This is the "I'm already soaked, screw it!"

I habe a w203 coupe with a broke/missing release catch. Can you kindly provide me the part numbers or links to obtain the correct release pull and clip?

What sort of mpg does this do urban . Realistically

Does anyone know if a P2511-1 error can be solved by replacing the EGR?

I stopped halfway through your video and wrote this. I have 3 of these... wonderful Mercedes engines, installed in the engine bays of three Jeep Grand Cherokee WKs. There are some differences in some external elements, but basically the OM642 engine is the same. For a few weeks one of these Jeeps of mine has been experimenting with Limb mode. Some call it "Limb Home" mode, not just Limb. Which is the correct one? I have purchased various spare parts that my mechanic will have to replace. There is an obvious oil leak which appears to be mainly caused by the smaller orange seal near the turbo on the T-joint of the flexible Air Cleaner To Turbo Hose [53013672AE], and by the nearby CCV/PCV, the oil separator/crankcase black valve. I wonder if in addition to these parts and the underlying external components to be replaced relating to the two intake manifolds [actuator motor, joints and arms], it is appropriate to go even deeper and also replace the 2 oil cooler gaskets [which I have already purchased, included in a repair kit supplied by IDParts]. But since we cannot see it from the outside, we cannot know what state it is in. In any case, it will be a long, complex and exhausting task, I understand this well, and consequently also very expensive as workforce. Can you give me some suggestion?

the w203 looks like a real merc. the newer vision look like shit

Thank you very nuch.❤😊

Thank u. I came home in car finally. This was very helpful.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

P145E00 cant find nothing about that code. Do you know?
