Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge. You just gained a new subscriber.

Had the command unit screen go blank yesterday on my S550 and resetting it did nothing. Also noticed that my start stop button is inconsistant when I press it to start the car where it doesn't always respond. Could it be aux battery related? Only had the car about a month so far.

BEST VIDEO ON HOW TO CHANGE A S550, but if you want to do the old fashion way at home by draining the oil from the plug you can, but I love the explanation on why dealers do it like this.

Great video Jose! I think a Vapor Canister, and possibly a valve replacement video might make for some good video content.. Also your opinion of if replacing the valve 'While you are in there' makes sense. Thanks for the informative content.

Good job my friend,

Hey Jose do the 2018 and up 4.0 have the same problem with oil leaking into the harness ?

So many missed opportunities by MB to put a supercharger in the middle 😂

I know it’s a year old video But I went on eBay and got the kit that came with 8 pigtails 4 are for these cam position sensors 4 are for cam magnets I went on fcp and replaced the cam position sensors since mine were leaking and the new ones have green o rings ,the older style has the black o ring

Awesome Jose !!! 😃😃😃

Another tip: When you want to change the valve, make sure engine bay is warm. This would allow the plastic hose to come off easier and possibly not break. Great video !!

Thanks Jose I’m at 60K I’m gonna replace mine asap 👍🏻 So I have a question on my 2015 s550. At outside temperature of 80° F and above my car idles with a shake like a misfire (but not sure if it is a misfire) but at temp below 80 degrees outside it idles as smooth as butter, even when car reaches full operating temp. There is no check engine light or stored codes. I’ve taken it to the dealer but they said without any CEL codes they can’t figure out what it is. Otherwise I’m stumped and it’s pretty annoying. I’ve changed spark plugs, ign coils all maintenance is up to date. I’ve also done a smoke vacuum leak test with no leaks. I’d greatly appreciate your input. Thank you in advance.

As always good job Jose !

Nice vid, can you drop where did you order part?

Amazing install! 👏🏼

would be good if you make a video for the W223, the dor is very different :)

excellent!

Hello i just would like to ask I bought c63s it drives normal no abnormal engine sounds maybe a little sluggish in comfort mode i only got two codes p002177 and p001177 the mechanic told me the cam adjuster are ok and he’s going to check and probably going to change alot of stuff and it sounds expensive what do you think car with 80km 2017

Excellent presentation

Jose--That was brilliant. The way you take a process that most people would be afraid to try and show how taking a logical, informed approach makes it actually easy to do, separates you from most others doing these types of videos.

I’m getting code p0347 bank 2 sensor A

Hi Jose. I have a 2017 C300 convertible equipped with 9g tronic transmission. They told me that I just need 5 liters of transmission fluid since the pan will drop 4 liters and the torque converter drops only 500 ml, is that correct?

Now I see why this service is so expensive 😩

This is the same on the V6 Ml 350 2014 model I have one now same issue

Hello Repair Jose this is a very well put together video. I was wondering do you do repairs/maintenance for customers? I have a 2007 Crv, if possible can you help?

I'm reviewing this tutorial to assist with my parent's S550. What a RIDICULOUSLY COMPLEX routine just to check a battery!!! How in the world do you people think Mercedes builds a good car??? No wonder the depreciation is horrendous on these things!!

I can only speak to the Nissan Titan, but I believe they only got the 9-Speed Jatco from 2020-2024. Prior to that, there was a 7-speed Aisin transmission, not sure if the maintenance procedure would be the same.

Your video is saving us a lot. Thank you! I’ve 2013 E350. Does Magnet and position sensors are same part for E350 v6? Thanks!

Does this harness fits 2013 E350 or I gotta get different one?

Does this apply to w212 E350 or it’s just for v8?

jose, i ordered these as preventative maintenance for a 2015 ml63. well, when i went to install them, i discovered that the oem harness connectors for cam shaft position sensors were already full of oil. i sprayed connectors and harnesses with contact cleaner, allowed to dry, before i installed the sacrificial harnesses. thank you much for creating this video. hopefully, i averted any long-term damage.

What kind of scan tool are you using to code your new battery for your bmw and where can I get one? Thanks.

I save this one.

Thank you for the super good video love it.

Wow he explains it so well

What's the name of that engine flush wow

You can also disconnect the vacuum like going to the brake booster and do it there

Congratulations with New car Jose !!!

A great demonstration and excellent teamwork. I have gained much insight and will be able to take on once feared tasks on my own 2008 CRV. Thanks.

loved this video. some solid life lessons there ! most people seem to have forgotten how to look after there things now. i say this and i am 32, but even i am my time i have seen a decline. I just brought my partner the same car, so this video was super helpful, thanks.

Well done!! I have a 2007 CRV as well, with 172k miles. Your engine looks clean, and Patty did a great job. No yelling, etc and she's not afraid to get dirty, etc.I haven't done my rear diff or transmission fluid, but I'll do it in the future, instead of paying someone. These CRV's last forever if well maintained and are great to drive.

Thank you for making this video for all of us. My wife's 2015 S550 just started acting up. We purchased it off lease at a small dealer in Santa Monica, CA, and I usually do the oil changes and brakes, but recently it had coils go out. First #7, then #8. With 67k miles, I figured it was time for plugs. I only broke one stubborn coil (#3), but moved #1 to #3 so when it arrived the next day it would be easy to install. I do notice some weeping of oil around the magnets - not the sensors, and have ordered the sacrificial harnesses. I have also found and ordered O-rings for the magnets, and an inch-pound torque wrench - since I have a 1/2" drive ft/lb wrench only. So... I'm only planning to change the cam magnets, and then I will clean up the front head cam covers with brake-clean and keep an eye on everything. It's possible the cam covers are weeping oil too, and I have found and ordered a small tube of the grey Permatex silicone liquid gasket for about $8. The only thing I do not have are the 12 replacement bolts for the magnets. Do you know what the part number is for those bolts? That was a long explanation, but my reason is that taking the 4 metal intake tubes off is just beyond what I've done on this car. I need all the moral support that I can get to do this. I just know those tubes are going to be stuck like glue on the bottom side, but I watched you to the end and I promise I will grab each tube and wiggle, pull, wiggle, wobble, pull some more, get coffee, and repeat until they come loose! Oh my gosh, what have I gotten myself into now?

Hey man just a heads up the w221 12/13’ have the M278. I know you put 2014-2017 . But don’t forget about us man 😂 it’s a great engine I will upgrade but I won’t go to a 223, only a 2017 222

Thanks for the info

I’m surprised you’re allowed to work on your vehicle at your condo parkade , not generally allowed by condo rules because then you have every vehicle being fixed , on ramps , fluid spills everywhere

Thanks for a great video. I think you are losing vacuum since the conical adapter is not not airtight with the coolant bottle. Also, as you vacuum once you have filled with distilled water , do you see water coming out of the waste bucket?

Hi Jose I ordered the tweeters, your video and clear instructions inspired me. One question, for the little box where did you place so it won't rattle?

I have a 14 ML550, and ive been told it needs valve repair. P0305. & Leak test Im now wondering it is just DI carbon.

This issues even extends to the s550 from 2007

5W-20 is better for theses CRV’S

Hey k just put the extensions on today when unplugging a couple of them had very little wetness on them should I be worried about that?
