Thermostat Replacement Mercedes Benz C230 2001-2007

[@petroschristodoulides6116]

When the thermostat housing is broken, it is rather tricky to install and keep in place the outer o-ring with high risk of water leakage thereafter. So best to replace it when broken.

[@lisawitteduncan]

It's not a spacer. The thermostat housing is broken. I have always replaced the housing when it is broken. Good to know that you can re-use it. It is a a cheap part though.

[@2carpros]

+lisawitteduncan it is a spacer btw it holds the thermostat against the block to seal it

[@StuEvans]

Its not a spacer. It really isnt.

[@rbrood267]

nope. at me it was fixed tot the hose. Tried to remove it from it but i am glad it didnt came loose. This video was really handy. I didnt removed the coolant. I put a paper cup reversed in the hole so the least amount of coulant got lost. And i topped it of with new coolant Many thanks

[@GoldenBlade99]

Terrible design using cheap plastic parts, but not a "spacer". It's also not a washer, it's an O-ring. Mr. Mechanic should know better, REPLACE THAT BROKEN PART

[@jackomalley3687]

I have a 2001 e320 Mercedes after filling the coolent up how do i bleed and get rid of.air pockets

[@ematolweni7512]

How can I do a smoke test for vacuum leak in a C180 2000-2007?

[@bingsalazar8723]

Thanks for this nice video. I hope you can make one on changing the engine mounts especially on the driver side mount. Same car c230

[@MrReptilelover08]

Awesome video

[@denvernarismulu2002]

Can the thermostat stop fan from working if faulty

[@ZafOsophy]

I have a 2009, c180, w204, I think the thermostat and housing is the same. The hose, spacer, rings, thermostat, ALL CLICK together, and then slide in as one assembly. Well, that is how it was with my car, when I replaced my thermostat.

[@jalatecompa]

if thermostat gets stuck, uper radiator hose could be blown?

[@oscarcoreocontreras4127]

How easy will it be to replace the heater cord on a 2000 S430 Mercedes? Anyone have links or suggestions

Hello, there'a a little error in the sequence you mount back the different elements that could lead to a costly problem. The seal ring (rectangular section) should have been mounted after the thermostat (in front of it and not in the back) and not before! When you first extract the old thermostat is clear that the seal ring is in front of it but when you put it back you squeeze it in before.

[@erkaraoke]

yes yes, i notice that too..

[@TheRastachild]

Gian Maria Malmesi you're correct!

[@bthedonb3013]

damn u paid attention

[@raterNAZ]

is it possible that when he roved the old Thermostat the washer got pulled to the front?

[@sixstringsmitty513]

If you think about it, the o-ring is there to stop fluid from entering the other side. In this case fluid (coolant) comes from the hose not from the engine block. It would make sense that the o-ring needs to be on the side that stops the coolant which would be on the side facing the coolant hose.

[@marcosaenz1884]

Thanks You fir your vídeo 👍.

[@suleimanmuhammedhady1198]

I scanned my car and I am getting the P2228 error code, what could be the problem? I drive a 2005 Mercedes C230 kompressor

[@2carpros]

Could be a BAP sensor. Thanks for watching!

[@amilcarcastillo6995]

The same procedure aply for a MB kompressor C200 model 2002? and you have any idea of the price for a new themostat and coolant temp sensor? thanks for the answer, sorry for the bad english greetings from Guatemala

[@AntonioMartinez-dm2vg]

What is the part that was removed after the o ring called?. On my 2004 c230k it seems to be broken. TIA

[@uucho1]

Thanks for your video. How tight the screw to install.......ex. for torque wrench?

[@tolaalegbeleye1251]

Dear sir, thanks for sharing the knowlegde. Kindly tell me the name of the tool you used in unscrewing the nuts....Thank once again..

[@2carpros]

Thank you for watching and leaving such a nice comment! I'm going to assume you mean the thermostat bolts? That would be a pneumatic ratchet. If that's not what you mean please let me know! Have a great day!

[@deweysoriano4046]

Thank you for your videos. It's important to me to know what they are going to do. I like to be armed with information. My past is filled with poor experiences with mechanics taking advantage of my family. Folks like you and youtube have come close to even out the playing field.

[@2carpros]

Dewey Soriano That is a great way to put it. We like putting the information out there for the people to save money for themselves. Please subscribe if you have not done so already.

[@oscarcoreocontreras4127]

Question: I own a 2000 Mercedes Benz s430, it's been (attempting) to overheat but I turned on the heater on hi to have the can release the pressure and drive. I checked the fluid, that's fine, I also checked the hose and they have water in them. So the issue is the temperature gage raises to almost red but as I turn on the heater it lowers. I have noticed that on the freeway the needle lowers but if I do any driving in town, it goes higher again. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

[@ronh_8940]

Oscar Cruz if have have an electric fan check those they should be a 2 speed fan. I had similar problems and found out the fan was only spinning low would never switch to high

[@kyllasaakuvata]

No need to take all fluids off. Just suck much as you can from liquid coolant reservoir. took anout 3L and then theres no leaking from thermostat when you open it., Then just add new or same old 3L cooling liqued and have fun.

[@Jojo51058]

Hi there, good video, good source, what part those 2 in upper coz mine is leaking the RT and LT that has a wired?

[@morussk]

After I replaced my thermostat I have been experiencing slow but steady coolant leakage. I did not break my plastic housing while replacing it. Used new thermostat and new o-rings. Any idea what could have cause it to leak? P.S. I did not drain any coolant, there is a little bit of coolant coming out when you pull out thermostat but its not much.

[@deerodriquez5338]

my coolant has been leaking alot, ive been having to put coolant every day befor it was like ever two weeks. and it gave my mechanic the 128 error code does that mean i need a new thermastat. it has never over heated.

[@ECRUZPI]

AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING US THIS!

[@2carpros]

Thank you for watching!

[@Alex-wx8be]

Driving a luxury car, and doing my own maintenance ;)

[@2carpros]

Smart! Thanks for watching!

[@gorillaump5869]

Not really luxury, its a C class

[@yhwe100]

How do you get rid of any air trapped inside the radiator?. Sometimes this happen during coolant change.

[@sunsafewindowfilms]

Great video! Except i have a 2007 C230 sport V6 and the thermostat looks nothing like urs. It comes as one whole direct piece and there's even a metal ring u pull etc.... this is just different...look up the part online and u will see what I'm talking about....If u have feedback let me know.

[@enriqueflores2755]

Same here I'm a bit confused , did you get it fixed?

[@orhansejfulov7437]

It's a long time ago but for future watchers. This is the 4 cylinder with compressor. You have a 6 cylinder motorblock.

[@anthonykalio2162]

You are amazing

[@andyrminuto]

you should never use DEX coolant in any non GM cars, it is the worst coolant for all plastic pieces

[@2carpros]

good to know thanks for the comment

[@stephjax93]

Yeah I was like why is the coolant going in orange? Blue euro coolant or itll be back for sure

[@seannic66]

so how cane u tell the thermastat going out or not working on a 2001 c320 dos it come up on the screen

[@2carpros]

The vehicle was over heating. So we suspected the thermostat first.

[@robb15033]

Maintenance also, see how easy it is? DO NOT wait for problems. Dont wait for superchanger oil replacement for $12.00 from AC DELCO. Dont for get differential fluids (Commonly forgotten)

[@ricksocki967]

Motor runs cool in the winter. Should be exactly 85C at operating T. Below 80 and the Tstat is not closing properly. Check engine light may also come on.

[@markoconnell1941]

What is the parts number you have used?

[@furzflamme]

Do you have to take a new Spacer for the thermostat or can you use the old one?

[@2carpros]

You can reuse the old one if it is in good shape.

[@robthomson3583]

There is no spacer, these guys should know better. The housing shown is broken.

[@brdavis]

There's no such thing as a spacer there. That's a broken housing. It should have been replaced.

[@90008132]

Where is the cooling fan sensor on Mercedes clc 200(w203)

[@nickcowen4565]

My c180 kompressor won’t get up to temperature when it is still without interior heating on it will get to 80 degrees but while driving unless in stop and go traffic it won’t get to operating temperature. Should I replace the thermostat? Also it is winter right now about 10 degrees Celsius outside maybe this is why it’s not hot?

[@Jojo51058]

you use Delco coolant is that okey for MB?

[@Jojo51058]

America thanks I did it's available now in Autozone....

[@brdavis]

ACDelco coolant is not recommended and can do long-term damage to the aluminum and plastic parts in the coolong system. Mercedes are amazingly picky vehicles. It's always best to use OEM or OEM equivalent.

Hello There is an error code in my car What is the method of reform? mercedes-benz c200 komp p0170 fuel trim bank 1

[@kracksmith4ejm1]

why is it necessary to silicon the bolts

[@2carpros]

They go into a water jacket. Thanks for watching!

[@iloverapkc]

How come my 2006 c230 sport doesn't even seem to have that much space to work from? Hella shit blocking it

[@jtabiolo31]

Can you do a video on how to replace a coolant temperature sensor on 2007 Mercedes C230

[@2carpros]

We do have one in production now, please stay tuned.

[@renetorres1236]

jtabiolo31 did they ever post that video on how to replace the coolant temp sensor

[@Elgikonyo]

why could water mix oil inside the radiator?

[@2carpros]

Blown head gasket can cause that. Thanks for watching!

[@kyllasaakuvata]

compressor is water cooled and that gasket can be broken

[@saleemnaser2]

Good job.

[@2carpros]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lennyofoz]

Thanks so much

[@kito1san]

I think this tutorial only goes up to 2005. 2006 and on has a different engine.

[@douglasamp46]

Great job my mate. Thanks

[@sunnysengvilay780]

Very helpful video. Thank you!

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching Sunny!

[@thandananisinokwanyana2003]

thermo housing is broken and that is not a spacer,you must replace that housing.

[@robb15033]

!!% perfect Job

[@Tinkerbell1978]

What normal temperature for 2006 w203? I’m wondering if mine is running a little hot

[@r3yk07]

Mine 2 it smells plastic inside the hod

[@Gridlivin]

what are the dimensions of the bolts holding the housing down? and where can I find them for sale?

[@mersedescidede6395]

It seems easy 😊

[@2carpros]

It is just nuts and bolts :) take your time and it will be easy

[@valentinstoian7707]

What about silicon rubber? If we don t have? :D

[@2carpros]

Yep you need that too! It is available at any hardware store. Thank you so much for watching!

[@briggs9187]

Mercedes: Let's use a lot of plastic pieces against metal mating surfaces so they get brittle and break... we will call it, German engineering.... Perfect.

[@2carpros]

Pretty much why mechanics don't like engineers! Thank you so much for watching!

[@SanjayKumar-ox1ef]

arjis for brek

[@antongems603]

I know German's like to prove they can do things better than others, it's who they are. But over all I will take a German car over any US or Japanese car. I have owned many different vehicles, all makes and the best cars I have ever owned were German. Yes some are a btch to work on but as far as durability you cannot beat a German car. Any car will last if you take care of it but German cars last much longer. Used to be Germans bought 2 or 4 cars in their lifetime, many Germans joke that Americans buy new cars when the ash tray is full.

[@kochatj]

@@2carpros I disagree. I’m a mechanic and an engineer.

[@MrJolem]

you don't need to remove the radiator drain plug, just loosen it

[@bernardhuther2832]

Ok change thermostat and o ring perfect nettoyage and réparation good from Mercedes C 230

[@huba959]

nonsense! !! housing is broken in two

[@redneckgearheadgarage495]

huba959 I thought it odd, my housing is one piece.

[@robthomson3583]

You are quite right, the housing is broken. This video is an embarrassing series of errors.

[@vaseAnd1]

I did everything right by this video, It started leaking coolant after i stared.

[@StuEvans]

If yours was the same as this then it was broken its not a spacer. Its actually one part.

[@mattdeeretech]

That’s because the makers of this video are morons. The housing was broken in half. That’s not a spacer

[@berner]

Looks like that Thermostat fell apart.

[@ronstrickland1915]

4 minutes of a 9 1/2 minute video just to drain the coolant.

[@rubenc4465]

The only part replaced was the thermostat and you keep saying replace this and that when all that was needed was re-install or install said part. Good video besides that.

[@msb3235]

+ruben castillo Second that...should use word re-install or re-connect...

[@joeblades]

Dude not the same for a 2002 c230!

[@jueelrana817]

Ok

[@giusepperomano1453]

Looks nothing like my 2006 c230

[@marcsmith3881]

2006 C230 doesn't have the M271 4 cylinder anymore. It has the M272 V6 engine. Thats why it is different. Yours will be a metal housing/thermostat with a temp sensor on the side. This video has several errors. The housing is broken, and the o ring goes on the end of the housing and the thermostat snaps onto it. Thats why that metal tab is on the thermostat, to hold it in place against the seal on the end of the housing. It should go into the engine as one big piece and not in pieces like this.
