mandem out here saving lives and all that, many thanks!

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Pleasure hope you got things sorted and that it helped a bunch..

[@fatwizzard2520]

@@YusufPetersenCPT Yo, did you use the old clamps ? i just ordered the part thanks to you and will be doing this myself, not sure if i need new clamps and if so what sizes. Edit: what's the pipe connector there you have I cant find that either. (still looking)

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

@fatwizzard2520 yep all the old clamps worked didnt need to get clamps and that one connector infront to the coolant bottle I got at the same parts store its aluminum so wont break like the plastic ones.

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

@fatwizzard2520 really appreciate it.

[@nevillepillay6681]

Thanks for posting the part number for the connector. Really helps when the young guns at Goldwagen insist they don't stock something. 😂😂😂

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Oh for sure i know the fight with buying parts thats why when its a part i got i try and put in the part number.

[@nevillepillay6681]

So you installed the plastic pipe 4 years ago. How is it holding up?

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

@@nevillepillay6681 its doing well no cracks or leaks as of yet. And its been on and off a couple times as i just had to do my engine over a few weeks ago dropped a valve end of last year. That was fun.😅

[@jamesmorrison5632]

That's exactly what's leaking on my C250 will be replacing the same hose as you did ....

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Yeah go for it the hardest part is just putting that hoses back on the back end.

[@dhrg8601]

I think a common problem for the M271 is the breathing hose on the other side of the engine. (its under the Kompressor)

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Yes I heard about that and mine has a slight rough idle so I'm sure that is the problem I need to get to that asap.

[@dhrg8601]

Yusuf Petersen I think it’s a cheap and easy fix, the only thing is in the way of the hose is the compressor!

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

@@dhrg8601 it's a easy fix yes but so difficult to get to will document it when I sort it out.

[@bilalcassim4509]

It was a recall on those engines mercedes suppose to fix it.they did mine long time ago

[@khayalethukhathamzi7771]

If i may ask does the leaking of this pipe cause engine to overheat

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Yes you will loose coolant and coolant pressure this could cause engine to overheat. Mine was a slow leak so not major issue just replaced it as soon as I realised where it was coming from so I didn't get overheating yet caught it early.

Hi do you have a video on how to replace the Water flange O/Cooler HD.?

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Hi there and nope i have not yet done that sounds scary lol.

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Wait what exactly are you talking about?

[@georgewilson4044]

Hi Can you please show me how does a water hose to header looks like Merc 271 at the back of the head the plastic one .The water hose attached to the head.Thanks

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Hey there.. I'm not exactly sure what you mean the only pipes I can see are on the side then one goes accross the back between the back of the engine head and firewall that's rubber that one looks like a mission to replace I'm not even sure where it leads maybe the heater core Inside the car. Is this the pipe you are talking about? Not the one I'm showing in this video?

Hi Usuf ,trust you I found the hose the one has one screw Merc 271.Now the mechanic says the is another water hose attached with the one I have that goes directly into the cylinder head I need pics of the hose that goes directly into the cylinder head please it's about appr 15 cm long.Thanks George

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Ok then that's the pipe attached to the plastic fitting.. it as a plastic clip over it then that clip goes into the plastic pipe that's screwed into the head the hose in question is the one coming out the bottom back of this pipe I replaced in this video. It's got to be one of those 2 pipes they must be coming from the heater core.

Where did you get the aluminum connector?

Goldwagen Kenilworth. It's like R60. Well worth it never have to worry about it again.

[@zacharyrippel9886]

@@YusufPetersenCPT Thanks man. The old connector is truly garbage. I live Canada so I am not sure it’s available for me.

@@zacharyrippel9886 oooo try Ebay then I know it online somewhere it's a common replacement I just got lucky it's at my local parts store. Theres another on that goes into the coolant refill bottle so get 2.

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Its not expensive its about $10 or R150 by us

Where did u get the part at the dealer or online?

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Got the parts at out local euro parts shop, Goldwagen they have most things I need to repair the mercedes mechanicals

[@johnjohn6332]

Yusuf tell me must i disconnect the hose from the cooler bottel is needed or can i just replace the coolant hosing pipe

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Nope the bottle and the lower hose can remain the level must just be lower than the side plastic pipe. Then the whole job can be done. So its just a mission of emptying the bottle till the required level then replace that pipe and connectors then refill. If done right there's no need to even bleed, the system should bleed itself.

[@18winsagin]

Have one leaking on 05 c230 going to replace it and sell it, it's always something with it after high miles, mostly the electrical components fail. Car isn't worth the cost of the parts anymore, stay away from high mileage Mercedes they're money pits.

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Yeah sometimes you can have some real bad luck with these cars. But for now it's been treating me well just normal things for now like brakes and services every year.

[@bilalcassim4509]

Mine 150000km on the clock , the only problem i had and this was yesterday , the plastic pipe behind the cylinder head started leaking.part was R285 at golwagen , took me about an hour to put it in

[@YusufPetersenCPT]
