Went to an independent specialist today for a quote on oil and oil filter and air filter service and got quoted £380!! Went on eBay and got the parts for around £60 and I’ve been dreading jacking the car up and getting under it in the mud and wet. Searched for videos and this one popped up and thought I recognised your voice 😂 I’ve been watching you for years fix electronics! Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for showing us the suction trick. I no longer have to dread lying down in the dirt and I can do my oil quickly and without mess!

Excellent video. Thank you. Note that I do not have oil pump extractor. I therefore drain oil from outlet on sump which entails removing two "shield plates" from under engine, one made of steel, the second made of plastic. Quite awkward to access and time consuming though. When I undertake an oil change using this method, I extract 7.2 litres of oil. I normally let the oil drain for about 4 to 6 hours. I use Castrol Magnatec oil. My car is almost identical to the one in the video, i.e. Mercedes Benz C200 saloon, 2012 model, W204.

Thank you for showing us how a C180 looks like. Here in America a C250 is the lowest Benz number that is sold on the C class. Great pump to remove old oil...I might buy one. Thank you!

C180/200/250 with Turbocharger (CGI engines) looks the same. Only differences are between turbocharger (C180/200/250 CGI, in US from 2011, only C250) and supercharger (C180/200 KOMPRESSOR, only until 2010, not available in US) models

This will be useful for when I service my recently acquired W204 C200 CDI The pollen filter looks to be one of the easier ones to change. I use Bosch filters on my own cars and they are noticeably better quality and usually don't cost all that much more.

@Skoop0006 жыл бұрын
As you showed, "there is more oil coming out now". That's why you should pull the filter first thing while you're setting up. Those O-rings and a check valve in the housing are holding oil up top for the filter on startup. You should let that old oil drain back to the pan before you start pumping. Otherwise, very nice presentation.

Interesting. On the w203 the cabin (pollen) filter can be accessed in 30 seconds very easy on the top left part when you open the engine bonnet. I don't know why they made it so complicate on the next gen 204. Very nice movie, thanks.

Hi. I've owned a few of these C Class's with the 1.8 16 valve engines and they all rattle for a few seconds on start ups, but only when cold! I have been reliably informed by my mechanic, Mercedes specialist, that this is quite normal as the engines have hydraulic tappets and it takes a few moments for the thicker oil when cold to feed up to them. Cheers, Jon.

You don't need the Mercedes oil! you can buy a lot of brands that meet the same oil spec. for nearer half the price from online motor factors like Euro car parts. they often have up to 50% sales on for filters too.
