[@wuyjhgbfdjkiuy]

thank you master for your great well-organized way of explanation in details step by step. I was wondering if there could be a chance to make more videos specifically about the model W220, such as : 1- Troubleshooting airmatic and all related issues for car losing leveling pressure. 2- Door panels removals and reason(s) for center lock of some doors is not functioning while other doors working, and how to tackle this issue. If anyone agrees with me on the above mentioned issues, please like for him to see. Thank you again in advance for all your efforts, appreciate it👍 ... God bless you.

[@ivanorisek4886]

I want also to say that this is one of the few videos that explains the issues correctly in detail. There are many videos here. Some of the authors truly do not understand what they are talking about. Others are just scratching the surface, such as "change Fuse 62." I do not want to sound like a chauvinist after living in New York for 50 years but perhaps it is because the author is European...... The part about tightening the screws on the turbine until you get 43 psi "takes the cake" because you do not find it anywhere. Perhaps, the warning about the inserts in the plastic hose connector could be added. Thank you very much !!

[@jackflanagan8954]

I am ditto of tolipapa's comment. Suspecting that this is the way your videos may be constructed, I look forward to viewing all the others. Thank you for being absolutely thorough ... the sign of a TRUE TEACHER and MASTER MECHANIC! To be both demands I too must be generous with my A+'s!!!

[@mccanlessdesign]

Hey man, thanks a million - just pulled my pump out tonight; '01 CL600 - had blown the fuse a couple times. Looking at it after watching the careful alignment work you did, I could see that the carbon rings were not neatly aligned. Taking it apart, I found the rotor was not cracked - it all looked good. I did swap the pallets in the slots end-for-end, to put a new round edge out. I carefully reassembled the unit, following your vid. Pressure checking got me to ~58 psi, so I decided it was good. Didn't blow the 25A fuse I put in-line to my 12V source. Reinstalled it, will put a fuse in and test it tomorrow. Thanks again for your thorough vid - if I hadn't seen the alignment care you took, I wouldn't have realized it was critical! This is the first time I'd really looked at the spare tire, while I was back there - manufacturing date of 13th week of 2001; never been on the road - neat!

One sentence would be enough to summarize my reactions after viewing your video : Omedetou ! You are a rare real " Sensei " ( in japanese language) Thks for helping MB and DIY lovers to maintain and keep their MB running " in Aller Welt " at an affordable cost. Clear image, clear voice, clear english ( not your mother language nor mine, but more understandable than a lot of original speakers) , clear explanations and, last but not least, real passion to share your knowledge. Congratulation ! Bravo ! One question : as the rotor to be changed is that expensive ( +/-119€ -2020-05-18) and as you have at hand the broken parts, have you ever tried to glue them together and see how long it could last or ever tried to make a 3D printing and cheap copy of it ? Please, consider my question as a suggestion et let's know how it works or worked ! Merci beaucoup ! Ciao.

[@IfixmyBenz]

Thank you very much for your compliments! To answer your questions, I didn't try to glue the broken rotor because the mechanical constraints are such that I doubt the glue will hold... I highly recommend this rotor (in the description of this video). It's a premium rotor ans iIts price is not so high compared to the replacement cost of the pump at MB... more than $1000 for the part and you will have to add labor because a new pump requires programming. If you want your pump to work as it originally was, you can forget about cheap rotors ! They will not last very long and the pump will not work properly...

Please help, I am desperate! This is my 4th time I am rebuilding this motor. Before I got 3 bar from the pump and experienced nearly no problems following this guide. But now, no matter what, I cant go over 1 bar. The aligment of the grooves is better than ever, everything works as it supposed to, but no matter how much I tighten the screws, max I can get is a bit over 1 bar (I had 2 bar earlier this day, and since then I only improved the assembly). I have even super cleaned all the plastic parts, the case and rotor, made sure when they spin blades slide out properly Inside, made sure the metal ring is sitting tightly on motors shaft etc. If the 2 motor pipes are pointin towards me, the right one pushes the air out and the left one sucking. The left side also has small round rubber thing that I always used before, but now when it is put in place, I get almost no pressure from neither of tubes. Also if screws are tighten too much or I have the small rubber installed the pump starts to rapidly slow down and burns the fuse. So, what could be wrong? The battery is 100% charges over 14v. I am begging you! 😭

[@MrEbonair]

Thank you very useful informative video :)

[@chrismannik]

Great video! I am doing the repair right now and I also replaced the electric motor. I put everything back together and it seems to not create any vacuum. I pressure tested the system and it holds pressure up to 5-6 PSI. What am I missing? Do you know which way to rotor is supposed to rotate? Maybe I got the polarity of the motor wrong?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! A pressure of 6 psi is much too low. The pump will not work with such a low pressure... The output pressure of the pump depends mainly on the quality of the rotor. With the rotor I mentioned in the video description, you can easily get 51 psi (3.5 bar) ! And the pump works great. Is your new motor identical to the original one ? And why did you change the motor ? When you hold the motor in your hand and you face the drive head, the drive head must turn clockwise ! 😉

[@malcolmgay2206]

When I got my SL R230 (build May 2006) I discovered my drivers side headrest angle setting is broken. The high rise and fall mechanism in the seat back works fine and I know this to be a separate mechanism. I feel sure it is nylon or plastic gear damage, someone has unknowingly wrenched the headrest away form the seat and sheared a cog or two. Often intermediate settings require you to extend something fully and then they fall back to the start, perhaps someone didn't explore the options before forcing it. Do you have any idea how to deconstruct, inspect, replace the cogs and reconstruct the headrest? I suspect the dealer might be unfamiliar with this one and subsequently the cost of repair could be quite high. Keen to have a go at repairing it myself, with your expert guideance if possible. I am encouraged of course, one by your instruction technique, and also by the fact there are no computers modules, or SAM modules involved in this headrest. Have looked for an exploded drawing unsuccessfully. Appreciate whatever help you are able to provide.

The vacuum pump and locking system works, but the security system is flashing the lights, inside, front and rear. I was told this security system is part of the PSE. Do I need to completely replace this or is there a possible repair I can do, or is there a by-pass for the security system that I can do myself?

[@jayjohnson8807]

My pump keeps humming on and off and every few days my trunk actuator stops working and I have to pull that 20amp fuse to reset it but, I noticed you said the fuse blows. My fuse never blows so, do I have the same problem?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello, If your pump runs very frequently without you doing anything in particular, then it could be a leak in your lumbar cushion. To find out for sure, set the support button on all seats to zero to see if the pump stops.

[@rizalsaiful6058]

The vacuum pump tested and run at 20 psig..however when put it back on car..no sound.heard ..what the issue should I should check..? Thx

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello, concerning the W124 model, I don't have the specifications but 20 psi seems rather low. However, if you don't hear any noise, check the pump fuse, the electrical connector connected to the pump and the electrical connections inside the pump.

[@mahannaidu5228]

A y good explanation,is it not possible to apply the sellotape before disesembiy.

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! 😉 Why not ? Indeed, it's a good idea to keep the original positioning.

[@Anura52]

Thank you for the detailed instructions. Unfortunately, I was not able to increase the pressure in the motor after replacing the rotor. Wondering if something else was causing the problem for my central locking not to work, I purchased a replacement of the entire unit (black box) and connected the 2 brackets but still didn't work. Can you advice what may be the cause of the issues please

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello Andy ! If the pressure at the pump outlet is not good, it is either that the rotor is of bad quality (if you chose the one that I indicate in the description of this video, in this case, there will be no problem), or that the elements of the turbine are not perfectly aligned (just realign them by taking your time), or that your pump motor is tired (you can take the one from the other pump)... And test on a well-charged battery ! If the central locking does not work but all the other pneumatic functions of the car work, your problem is probably due to an air leak... In addition, remember to check if the central locking system works by using the button on the dashboard, as this could be a problem with the key... And of course, check the 20 amp pump fuse. You must hear the pump running when it is in the car and you activate a function. If nothing is working, you may have a power supply problem, which would explain why neither pump is working. Check the pump connectors (black box). Good luck with that !

Can you help me to find out what's happening. R230. Central lock works, but the trunk opens on the second try. And the trunk closer doesn't work. Is it connected to each other and to the pneumatic motor?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! The opening and soft closing of the trunk is indeed pneumatic. However, the problem in your case does not come from the PSE pump because the central locking system works. A video is planned to explain in detail how to solve this problem. I will just ask you to be patient ! I will update this comment and you will be notified when it is available.

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello, unfortunately not. However, the motor is normally protected by the pump's fuse... Before trying to replace it, I suggest you, after removing the turbine, to test your motor on 12 volts. Good luck !

[@andresh9068]

@@IfixmyBenz thanks for the reply! If i got a complete 2nd hand unit for the central locking pump, just the part numbers have to match my one for me not to have to recode it?

[@IfixmyBenz]

@@andresh9068 Hello, unfortunately, no... There are different part numbers for the PSE pumps for W220. And the part number corresponds rather to the generation of the car, not to its characteristics. If you replace your pump with a used one, and it comes from a vehicle that does not have exactly the same features as yours, a coding will unfortunately be necessary. This is why it is generally preferable to keep the electronic part of the original pump to avoid this kind of problem... 😉

[@KurkWHCUHI]

Hi there, enjoying your videos but I have followed your steps and removed pump and disassembled and found that the impeller and games are ok. What else could it be? I also got a funny smell from inside the box, is that normal? Thanks

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! The pump motor may be burned out... First of all, remove the motor from the pump by unsoldering the two wires as in the video and check that it works with a 12V battery. No need to reassemble the rotor for this. Pay attention to the polarity !

[@str8teeths]

I understand the fins for the rotor have to have the bevel side out to match the curve of the rotor. Is this correct?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! Yes, the rounded edge of the vanes should be pointing outwards the rotor. The edge of the vanes is rounded to match the curve of the turbine inner casing at all times during the rotor rotation cycle. Thus there is no risk of pressure loss. Click on the link in the video description (below this video), you will have a precise close-up view of the arrangement of the vanes. 😉

[@tonymitchell7418]

does the rotor have to be in broken up to be bad. i checked mine and it was in one peice

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! Two problems can affect the rotor: either it is broken, or it is worn out (not visible to the naked eye). In case it is worn out, the pump has to run much too long in order to operate the pneumatic functions of the car.

[@jedi-mic]

Do you know anything about slk 240 03y, I don't know why the central locking isn't working with the boot lid with the key fob I hear a noise I'm not sure wherever it's coming from the lever on the mechanism does go in place to prevent you opening it with the handle but I'm not sure why the mechanism isn't working I'm not even sure which fuse it is any ideas thanks!

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello, I used to own an SLK (R170). It's a bit far for me, so I won't be able to help you much. I remember having problems closing the trunk. Sometimes you had to slam the trunk hard to close it. And one day it wouldn't close at all. All I had to do was dismantle the closing mechanism and grease it. I don't know if that's any help... If your trunk has trouble locking, perhaps it's because it's not properly closed ? To be checked Good luck ! 😉

[@jedi-mic]

@@IfixmyBenz I don't know if it's the closing mechanism I don't think so! there's no issue closing it I don't need to slam it it will close very easily. I don't think it's a vacuum system either I think it's a cable but I don't know where the motor is situated, that's what I want to know I can't seem to trace a motor, I haven't taken the mechanism out maybe I need to do that. do you know where I can get a workshop manual online that's safe? I need to get a workshop manual blow up diagrams? Thanks

[@IfixmyBenz]

@@jedi-mic OK. Good point if the closing mechanism works. The central locking system on the Mercedes SLK R170 uses a small pneumatic pump. Given that only the trunk lock doesn't work, you need to access the mechanism to see what the problem is. This is the starting point for diagnosis. In general, you need to remove the inside panel of the trunk lid. This should not be too difficult. Simply take the time to observe how it fits.

[@jedi-mic]

@@IfixmyBenz yeah I've taken the panel off remove the yellow that I thought is a cable whatever that is a pipe?? I don't see a purple one tho! So where's the pump and motor to control it? is it situated in the mechanism? What's a good website to get a free manual, blown up diagrams, and torque specifications. there's a s,i,.t,,e called slideshare, don't know if it's trustworthy you can download manuals free I think.

[@IfixmyBenz]

@@jedi-mic Hello, the yellow line is probably the pneumatic line. These are yellow on the Mercedes SL and S Class. This pneumatic line is connected to the pneumatic pump in the boot. However, I don't think that your pneumatic pump is to blame, as the central locking system works for the doors. Here's what I suggest you do: leave the boot open and manually simulate a boot closure. There should be a hook in the closing mechanism. Be careful not to get your fingers caught. Use a screwdriver instead. Then use your key fob to lock your car. Then listen carefully to the locking mechanism. If you hear a hissing sound, there's an air leak. You'll need to check where it's coming from. If it's the mechanism that's leaking, you'll probably need to replace it... If you decide to replace it, mark the location of the original mechanism with a felt-tip pen before removing it. This will enable you to fit the new one in the same place without having to worry about adjustment.

[@RegionalRadioShackManager]

Thank you excellent video! My gear is fine but the silver cylinder smells like burnt plastic what’s the name of that part thank you

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hi ! Thanks a lot ! The silver cylinder is the motor. I make a descrition of the pump elements in the video at 1 minute 20 seconds. If it smells burnt, it's not a good sign. The motor may be burned. Or, the rotor is broken, it prevents the motor from running and the motor overheats, hence the smell. First, unsolder the motor and test it on a 12V battery as in the video (don't forget the fuse to protect the motor). If you hear that the motor tries to run and jams then disassemble the turbine because the rotor could be broken...

[@Amg641]

Hi can this problem cause my roof not opening problem? "Roof in operation" plus the central locking isn't working. Are they both linked?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello, there is indeed a link. The PSE pump must be in working order and the trunk soft close operational for the roof to operate. If the central locking system, trunk soft close and lumbar supports don't work, there's a PSE pump problem... However, the message "Roof in operation" may be due to a faulty switch. There are a multitude of switches that act as sensors to inform the car of the various stages of opening and closing the roof. Good luck ! 😉

[@Amg641]

​@@IfixmyBenzthank you for replying! Also I have noticed the rear quater window is not working is this linked to to pump?

[@IfixmyBenz]

@@Amg641 Hello, you're welcome ! 😉 No, there's no link between the PSE pump and the quarter window.

[@IfixmyBenz]

@@Amg641 If the fuse keeps blowing, it may be a short circuit (check the pump's electrical connectors), or a broken pump rotor (you'll need to remove the PSE pump)...

[@TheSmooth124]

Were can I get these parts to repair my pump? Do you have a link? Thanks.

[@an24510]

Would a broken rotor blow the PSE fuse IMMEDIATELY once a new fuse is installed? Or is that usually caused by some other failure in the PSE system? I'm thinking about buying your rotor, but just not sure it's going to fix my issue.

[@IfixmyBenz]

Yes ! When the rotor is broken it usually prevents the motor from running and the fuse blows immediately when you put a new one in. This is the most common failure. However, you may have a short circuit somewhere or a blown motor and this would also blow the fuse, but this is much rarer because this pump is designed to electronically stop a function when the motor runs too long to prevent it from blowing.

[@EndofUSA]

where did you buy the new rotor?? good thing it is readily available.

Hello, you will find an internet link for the rotor in the description of this video (under the video). 😉

Hello today I replaced my trunk latch because it was leaking air. So now that is fixed. The door locks do not go up and down anymore and the seats don't work. I can hear the air pump pumping but I'm not sure what to do next. I've read where there could be a crack in the air hose causing the seats to not work properly. If I have 1 leak does it shut down all the air functions? Are the locks connected to the seat? When I bought the car the seats didn't work but everything else worked fine. Any suggestions would be great! I am very mechanical so I would like to fix this car myself. Thank you for the great video! I subscribed to your channel.

"I've read where there could be a crack in the air hose causing the seats to not work properly." ---> Yes that's right, I will do a video on how to fix that crack... " If I have 1 leak does it shut down all the air functions?" ---> No, all air functions are independent. However, if nothing works, the problem comes from the pump itself. "Are the locks connected to the seat?" ---> No ! "When I bought the car the seats didn't work but everything else worked fine." ---> Your lumbar support is leaking or there is a crack in the air hose...

Unfortunately, this is what happens when you try to install a poor-quality rotor... It's not your fault, so don't blame yourself ! You've probably fallen victim to one of the many unscrupulous sellers of poor-quality rotors. They've been popping up all over the internet since I released this video... If you install a poor-quality rotor, the pressure at the pump outlet will be low and therefore insufficient. You will then tighten the screws more and more to try to obtain a better pressure, and this excessive tightening will cause the lower part of the turbine to break. It's fragile, as I said in the video. I guess that's what happened to you. It's a real shame, because unfortunately there's no replacement part for the lower part of the turbine. On the contrary, if you use a high-quality rotor like the one I recommend (link below the video), a slight tightening is enough to obtain a high pressure (between 3 and 3.5 bar). To solve your problem, I now suggest you try to find a complete original used motor, i.e. with the turbine, if you can, or failing that, buy a used pump to remove the motor with the turbine. Good luck to you ! 😉

what is the torque of the screws? 2 to 4 ft lb? before the pressure and vacuum adjustment

Hello ! At first, simply tighten so that the turbine elements do not move. Then adjust the tightening to obtain a good pressure at the pump outlet ! 😉

Hello!! I love the video thank you ! Do you know where Can i get the pump to messure the pressure with the adaptor ? Can't find it online sorry

Hello ! Any manual bike pump with a pressure gauge and an inflatable device (adaptator) will be OK ! For example, this pump will be perfect: amzn.to/2Z2ig14. Or, you can go to a bicycle shop !
