2015 Mercedes C300 2.0T Thermostat Replacement

First time doing a recording of a job. This video was not intended for a step by step "How To" type of video. More of a just overview of what kind of goes involved, I will appreciate all feedback, leave me a comment let me know.

[@AsperHouse]

Thank you for adding the audio this helps a lot. there are some that don't. You might not have planned this but this is a good how to video, Well done.

[@Multi-Polar]

Thank you, with this video I did the Job on the street...took me like 8 hours...alott of connectors and hoses,bolts and screws...but job is done

[@plateaumotors]

Thanks for the video! Indy tech in a shop. Got it done without a problem. Except book time was 1.6 hrs according to alldata. once i saw this,i was able to adjust accordingly

[@JimFab202]

Glad it helped!

[@foxmulder151]

thank you so much for this video, it help me out a lot

[@FranksGarage]

Very nice video! Extremely helpful for maintenance on my Mercedes!

[@AngelRodriguez-vw4vz]

I have this exact same car just having a little trouble finding the coolant temp sensor , any ideas ?

[@badboy17pt]

What seals did you have to replace on this job

[@VictorHernandez-cz2fc]

What was the torque spec for the intake?

[@ivanrojas7888]

Do you have a video about how to change the water pump? Or can I get in touch with you ‘cause I have a big question on how to reinstall the pump. I really need help, hope you can give me a hand.

[@DAVISSTEVEND83]

Do you have to remove all that to access the Coolant Temp Sensor?

[@downsouthtroutmouth6217]

Yup

[@dannyhedges831]

I just did the same process as in the video, except that I did not disconnect the battery and now when I start the car I get several collision assist errors and it does not go above 1500 RPM. Do you know what it could be? thanks a lot in advance.

[@JimFab202]

@@dannyhedges831 you probably left something unplugged

Top video

[@mariog5598]

Thanks so much, I have been trying to get to the Throttle body on my Mercedes and was afraid to do something wrong, with this video I believe I can tackle the job now. Also can you tell me why is it that most engines in the US are so dusty?

[@jonsnow2555]

Could be in the south west of the U.S. it's a big desert there

[@fabiocardoso5792]

I changed the thermostat on my c300 after the scanner showed was the thermostat and it keeps overheating. What’s could be a possible solution?

[@JimFab202]

Possible solutions can be a faulty water pump, cooling fans not operating properly, faulty temperature sensor and or computers.

[@badboy17pt]

Did you have to replace the manifold seals ?

[@JimFab202]

Yes

[@AngelRodriguez-vw4vz]

Hey do you know where coolant temperature sensor is ?

[@raeshniroula8221]

Hi Did you get answer for this? I couldn’t find where is the coolant temperature sensor for this car

[@tyjuanjohnson5069]

@@raeshniroula8221did you find it ?

[@raeshniroula8221]

Where is the coolant temperature sensor? Please answer

[@JimFab202]

Coolant Temperature sensor is located on the thermostat assembly, as shown on this video.

[@ОлегГлебов-ы4б]

Hello! Is it need to change only thermostat? Or also intake manifold and some tubes or metal pipes? Just only thermostat? Does it need to clean intake manifold?

[@JimFab202]

When replacing thermostat you need to replace all gaskets of components that get removed. Always clean parts that get reinstalled.

[@KKAY-qx2qy]

My c200 2016 is not blowing hot air and is overheating, the tempetrature sky rockets when i was driving the other day. Could it be the thermostat?

[@JimFab202]

It could be a numerous amount of things, best to get a proper diagnostic done to it and pinpoint what exactly it needs.

[@Romanchelli-ci9on]

I literally have the same issue today and c200 2016, did you get yours resolved and if so how? Thank you

[@lajsta]

What was the mileage of the car and were the intake valves heavily soiled?

[@JimFab202]

At the time of this repair, the vehicles mileage was somewhere around 60k miles and no heavy carbon build up on valves was noted.

[@jejeanmarie4167]

This video was very helpful it took my Certify mechanic 5 hours and half but the job was done thank you again he didn't watch the video but I did

[@jonsnow2555]

​@Je Jeanmarie how much $?

[@ericrios9904]

Good afternoon what was your torque wrench set at for nm at 19:36 mark of the video?

[@JimFab202]

Eric Rios can’t remember exactly but somewhere around the neighborhood of 9-12Nm

[@ericrios9904]

@@JimFab202 would you happen to be able to point me towards the direction of finding that info ? Thank you

[@JimFab202]

Eric Rios will most likely have to be either a source like AllData or Mitchel on demand for accurate information

[@nolimitrc1]

What about the coolant temp sensor???? And for those of you doing timing dont get me started on that oil pressure sensor switch that the wire goes through the bottom of the timing cover and if you aren’t careful you can break the plug the harness and or sensor itself Now Ask me how i know lmfao … it would be nice if there was a timing video on this engine with this year c300 275.1

[@zeroto60in35]

How did you diagnose that it was the thermostat that needed to be replaced?

[@JimFab202]

Zero to 60 in 3 a code set for thermostat below threst.

[@AgassiAA]

how much is to do something like this???

[@JimFab202]

With parts and labor you’re looking at somewhere around $800-$1100 out here in california.

[@williepeters1258]

$800 for a thermostat on a new car,?? Doesn't make sense"

[@badboy17pt]

​@williepeters1258 it's the labour not the parts I got quoted 1400 in the UK 12h but the oil valve also needs doing wich is just by the thermostat

[@donnieboy123]

A lot involved for just RR thermostat.

[@Павел111-е8и]

👍👍👏👏

[@212GTR]

لو منزل مكينه كان احسن 😂😂

[@bmwlane8834]

What a piss poor design!!

[@JoeLinson-c8j]

Omg so difficult compared to domestic or Asian car all that for thermostat ridiculous!!!

[@johnfrisk2375]

Everything is so easy to get too just the problem is you would have to take apart most of it to get to that one thing.
