Thank you for sharing a detailed video. I will be changing the spark plugs on my 2014 ML, I bought Bosch ZR6SII3320 plugs. Do I have to set the gap between the electrodes? or just put them on as it is? Thank you for your time in advance.

Santosh Hodawadekar No Problem and keep me updated. No you will not need to gap the spark plugs. Just put them in as is. 👍

Really useful video. Just changed the plugs on my 2012 SL350 (R231). Note that on an SL the rear 2 plugs in bank 2 (left hand side of car) are really tight and you will need to remove part of the metal bracket. Bank 1 (air filter side) is very easy with lots of space.

Regarding the spark plug socket. I have a lot of tools, but never needed a 14mm, 12pt, spark plug socket before. I went to my local O'Rileys last night and they had one in stock. I hope it helps someone. GREAT VIDEO.
@StevenMWilliams03174 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the video. I had no trouble following the video and understanding what to do. Another video from another person showed disconnecting the battery and then they disconnected the computer instead of just moving it out of the way. I think either way is fine really. Basically, once the filter and computer are out of the way, you just unbolt the coils and remove each plug one by one. I am glad I do not have to remove the cover as many other videos show. Thanks for posting.
@michael9313 жыл бұрын
The way shown here is the correct way. You do not want to be unplugging those connectors.
@vikingrobot4179 Жыл бұрын
Yeah man….it’s a bitch to get to the battery in the ML’s in general but not a good idea to chance screwing up the billion pin plug connectors in the ECM. For the life of me I could kick the engineers that thought it was a good idea to put the engine management computers so close to and sometimes on top of the engine on Mercedes vehicles. Just a little more wire length and a cooler spot under the hood would have been awesome. I’ve replaced so many ECM’s because the engine heat finally baked them. But Mercedes’ engineers never really ga e a crap about the guys working on them as they did production costs and ease of assembly.

Great video!! I am jealous how easily the coil wire harness connectors released. I managed to replace 1 through 5 without disconnecting, but #6 does not give and room. I used a small pick, then screwdriver from behind, but no luck. I ended up not changing it because I knew I was going to end up breaking something, so I will go back in after I get a spare ignition coil on standby. These just seem totally stuck on a 2014 ML350 that I was working on. Any ideas out there?

This PDF provided further instruction that I did not go through because I just wanted to check my plugs but it turns out I do need to replace.

@@sharpshooter200 I used a 14mm, 3/8 inch drive, 12 point thin wall Assenmacher Tools spark plug socket and it worked exactly the way it was supposed to. I bought the Bosch double iridium. This is the exact plug Mercedes used but this doesn't have the Mercedes emblem, so it's less expensive. I was able to to get the spark plugs on the passengers side of the car swapped but I couldn't access the drivers side. I ended up taking the car to a mechanic who was willing to install the the remaining plugs for me. I'm no mechanic and I probably will not attempt to do this again. I couldn't get the access I needed to the plugs in the driver's side. This really will depend on your patience, skill set and tools. Hope this helps!

thank you for making this video. It finally got me to get started and made it. Spark plugs 4, 5, and 6 were the most difficult. More so 5 & 6. My problem with 6 was pulling out and reinserting back in the coli. Darn, how did you do it? Did you use some special tool to extract it and push it in? It does not help to have fat hands..... Aside from that, your notes and comments helped a great deal.

Use a tool like Harbor Freight 37909 pliers. But dull the edges with a file since they are razor sharp from whatever "factory" they came out of. Or get some better quality ones like that. You need that for #6.

How do you know which spark plug to replace? or whether the problem is with the ignition wire instead of the plug?
@viewtube33104 жыл бұрын
Well almost all Mercedes use spark plugs and ignition coil so there are no spark plug wires. Its either the spark plug or the ignition coil itself. You can isolate the the problem using a OBDII scan tool to check for engine code. The code will tell you whether it’s the spark plug or the coil. If you don’t have a diagnostic scan tool you can go to most auto parts stores and they will hook up their scanner for free. Make sure you write down code or get a print out for future reference. What model and year vehicle do you have?
