Mercedes A class wet carpets!!!!! this is why and what you need to do to fix it.......

[@raymondregis4701]

Wow, I definitely didn't think about the channels through the chassis. I'm gonna investigate mine hopefully this week to see. Great job and thank you so much for that insight.

[@nickluckleek2445]

Baz your knowledge is unreal you no ever job some mechanic or mechanical engineer fantastic

[@nightstorm9128]

I had the same problem with my first gen skoda Fabia,,The seals would fail on the rear doors and let water in ,,,They all suffered with this problem,,,,A fantastic way to get the carpets 90 percent dry in just 5 mins,,,,Here in Ireland we have co op stores that supply farmers with everything and anything they need,,,I'm sure England has something the same,,,Just get the largest cow syringe you can find ,,,,without the needle part,,,push it down into the carpet and suck,,,,,You won't believe the amount of water you can extract from a carpet,,I'm sure you can also get these syringes on line,,

[@itsacarthing]

Small dehumidifiers out of curry’s/argos are fantastic for drying out the carpets. Love the videos Baz.

[@khalidacosta7133]

Won't really do it.... water gets trapped underneath the carpet (which is plastic) and insulation (closed cell plastic foam). No other choice but to pull the interior unfortunately... THEN use an industrial dehumidifier.

[@Doctor00-786]

Great job, really impressed with your attention to detail in these jobs.

[@bazmeredith]

Cheers buddy 🤙

[@wormass15]

I thank you for making this video, i have to do this job on my own a class and makes it alot easier when i can just follow what you do

[@andrepereira3176]

Good work once again. Thumbs up 👍

[@naturalman4185]

very good mechanic. how much did this cost?? and where are you?

[@Maddogbird123]

Im invested in ur page because I’m watching all ur vids from the start so still have 10 Month to watch but iv probably heard you say ur scanner is a euro tab 3, you connect the seat belt around the steering wheel to stop it turning when you drop a subframe and you use liquid moly grease on ur glow plugs about 100 times each and that’s not an exaggeration 🙈😂

[@ANDY-we7mr]

😂😂😂 baz want to buy a couple of gold fish 😅😅😅 ha h good video that you done a cracking job 😊

[@TheiTempo]

Baz bit of a long shot but dont suppose you have the Part Number for the rear Air vents please behind the Bumper?

[@williamskills6965]

Hoping you see this with video being 6 months old, ive a cla 220amg here 2014 with the same problem in the back footwell, was wondering is it the same idea with the cla as the A class? Thanks in advance 🤞

[@MX5MAN4]

great video baz wow im surprised merc havent done a recall on that then?? just to ask the labour charge for this and cost is it over £500?

[@nightstorm9128]

The white silicon will eventually fail,,,if you want it to last forever use TEC7,,,

[@naturalman4185]

Not tiger?

[@the_retired_mechanic]

Nice 1. I have 2 customers with those cars. I ask them to keep eye out for wet carpet.

[@loshan1212]

Do you know what the part number for this is on the W176 A class?

[@GR1M3L1F3]

I’m having the same problem in my 2013 A200… where can I get mine fixed in UK

[@pattihill3521]

My car too . I want to fixed it

[@ANDY-we7mr]

Baz is that launch diagnostic tab 3 or the company's is it good as the AUTEL

[@tomthepetrolhead97]

Good job massive job that. I bet the customer had to sit down after seeing the labour bill after all of that 😂

[@bazmeredith]

It's not bad tbh

[@naturalman4185]

Cheers how much was it? I want to get mine done

[@joskd8491]

One would expect this to happen to a cheap car, like a Dacia or so... but no, it's a Mercedes. Mercedes isn't what they used to be...

[@TheMattyholt]

Do you think mk7 golf could have same issue Baz?? Got one with rear footwells wet like a focus you did👍

[@nightstorm9128]

On vw it'll be the mastic on the rear doors ,,you must take the door cards off and you'll see a plastic type material with silicon or mastic type stuff sealing it,,,This fails,,Just get a silicon gun and some TEC 7 and seal it ,,,,

[@lucianomedina4568]

I got the same problem but on a c250 2013, is it the same problem ?

[@MichaelNeville-y8p]

Laser do proper sockets for those bumper studs to remove the nuts i brought them 👍👍👍

[@roadracermark7946]

Hi have you a link to the tool

[@chrisbennett7983]

Best way to get that carpets to dry is through a ground sheet or seat covers on the floor do the same on the top and drive over it foam traps water and it doesn't like releasing it even with a breeze. Guess ya body shop bay doesn't have an oven

[@yengel7442]

hello I have a mercedes w176 and I have problems with the light on my dashboard which turns on and off and tells me that it is the battery and I changed the 2 batteries and still the problem it's possible that I have water that has come in or it has the fuse box can you help me THANKS

[@togekisses_]

how much would a job like this cost? this is literally what my Aclass is going through right now !!!

[@justinw6670]

Ive done thos job before,if I remember rightly the vents are only £20 each...

[@nightstorm9128]

The launch tab3 is also an insane price,,,,,6500 pounds,,,

[@petarpetrov5933]

I did everything as in the video, but the water continues to seep in 😕

[@williamskills6965]

Maybe that's not where ur leaks coming from bud
