Best vid ever

[@mrjerusalem5513]

Thanks for the video great job guys , I'm a mechanic and my 2011 c300 steering locked on me , I had towed my car to the Mercedes dealer ship and had them do it , they charged me $910 parts and labor , I could of done the labor myself BUT you still have to get the new part programmed and only the dealer can do this for you , or another place somewhere in Texas , not worth it guys for the do it yourselfers your better off going to the dealer believe me it's cheaper for you to go straight to MBZ

[@israelelms8306]

Mr Jerusalem how is it cheaper I have this problem right now?

Thank you sir it helps to me 😊

Hi, quick question. Did you have airbag light on after replacing the steering wheel. Just somebody told me that on Mercedes you will have the airbag light on on the dashboard for good if you remove the steering wheel. Thank you

Try turning the music down for next video. It's way too loud.

Super Arbeit

[@rgvmarciano]

I had to do this on my wife's C300 (ESL fail at 90K miles), change the water thermostat (failed at 70K), disc brake pads don't cover the whole rotor disc surface, so pad replacement will always require turning the rotors or replacing, and tires have mismatched designs for the front and rear, which means you can't rotate. My poor Tundra gets so jealous! I won't deny the feel and ride of my wife's Mercedes, but it comes with the price of being stranded and high maintenance. Unless you don't mind shelling out for overpriced and constant maintenance or have a husband to do it for you, simply put, buy Toyota!

[@glasser2819]

buy proven Japanese brands is the best defense against priceless high maintenance.

[@marioperez460]

Good video guys thanks.

[@AWAradiola]

Thanks for the vid, please piss the music off next time lol

[@majdijaber2040]

People shouldn’t buy Mercedes if they can’t afford the repair let alone waste their time to go through all this on their own....this could possibly cause more damage. This video was posted so these guys can make money by you doing all the hard work for and send them parts to repair it on bench.

[@mkusta2357]

The special tool to take out the ignition 😒😒 but the video is awesome.

[@DolphinDivingChamp]

You can use two flat head screwdrivers

[@skeeterjay1]

Guys I don't have enough room to swing column out am I missing something? The column is too long and it doesn't swing out do I need to remove something else on the column? I have it loose and ready to pull out just no room to swing top out.

[@bernardc531]

Did you replace your esl or what was your repair solution?

[@marksakowski9272]

How bad is this vlog??It is so crappy it is unbelievable that anyone was brave enough to publish that!

[@denig9949]

Can you please give me a list of the tools I need for the job?

good sharing... thank u

[@harrisquayum766]

Is it t40 or t45 for the bit on the end of the steering column for w204 2007 mercedes

[@Backfire10]

Hey, does it matter if my locked in the "locked" or Unlocked position. Mine stopped working in the unlocked position, how is that different.? thanks

[@JoseMarquez-mh8ud]

He said you dont have to pull the column if its in the unlocked position. Just pull the 4 bolts let the column hang and pull the esl

[@starsister4420]

OMG. I cannot do this myself! Iam so upset.

Putting the end of the steering shaft back into the u type clamp / joint type clamp...... How far in does the teeth of the shaft need to go and whats an easy way to do this?

[@joetwo227]

These are old posts, so if anyone is really looking for an answer then you can message through here.

[@modifiedjaymill]

@@joetwo227 hello and yes I still an answer please. I heard it should slide in without much effort but it definitely wasn't going in without a hammer. I was able to hammer it in just until it reaches the smooth gap. I couldn't hammer anymore past that so I just tightened it really good there and praying I don't hit Any bumps hard enough to knock it out.

[@vinniehandymanllc7053]

Can I send my esl to you to reprogram ? I have that problem but I have 2008 c300

[@broprowebs7916]

How do you put column back on upper steering shaft when your all done?

[@joetwo227]

Anyone?

[@Cats_4_life]

hi i have same problem did u sort out yours column steering shaft?

[@brandliftmarketing9202]

@@Cats_4_life I grabbed a short stubby hammer since there is no room down there and tapped it in with force

[@glasser2819]

keep it in place, don't remove it unless ESL is locked up. Later models retain that cheap ESL lock but only lock steering under rare conditions. The EIS still built with poor components.

[@ToLife_]

hey i replaced the motor and it still giving me the same issue. Is there anything else i need to do to the circuit board before i put it back together?

[@bernardc531]

Did it work after you replace the motor and do you had to do anything else to get it running? I just remove my steering. [e-mail]

ur video not complete, I removed what u did on my w212 it don't seems so easy and straightforward like u showed, your video is just a conclusion of the process not full details what will encounter during dismantling process.

[@BackFire10mm]

Can you reedit this video and loose the background noise? Nice job

[@therivalryan]

no need to remove steering wheel when removing column it will all come out from the front no problem.

[@israelelms8306]

Ryan how you have video?

[@therivalryan]

@phillip cole I do 2/3 a month, the only time it will not come straight out with wheel attached is when electric adjustable steering installed as motors get in the way.

[@robertholderman7824]

Mine is turned all the way to the left does it matter that my wheels arent straight? Can i still take it out without removing the steering wheel l?

[@therivalryan]

@@robertholderman7824 it makes no difference, just be sure to put back as removed ie. dont turn steering wheel once removed.
