Hello and thanks for the effort to make this video. I too have been concerned about the indexing as Mercedes says that it is required to have the electrode in an open position facing the injection port. My engine is the x254 turbo 2.0. thanks in advance for all your efforts.

Excellent video! Mercedes Benz of Littleton, CO wanted to charge me over $500 to replace the spark plugs!

Good day Mr mike

[@mikeicee]

Its almost Dr Mike lol

[@Gfalkh.57]

Thanks for uploading your informative videos , they help me even though I have an MB c207. I'll probably have to buy a new torque wrench, a digital one, next time I change the spark plug. I do not really trust the one I have anymore, would be damn if I pull the spark plugs too hard, then with the risk that the threads will come with the spark plugs next time, do not even dare to think about what cost and work it could be if it happened. Thanks again broh.

[@mikeicee]

Thanks for the feedback. This one is something called a "digital torque adapter." You basically use it between the socket and your favorite 1/2 wrench or breaker bar. It is a lot nicer than a classic torque wrench IMO. It does between 2 and 200 NM so you can do lug nuts to the smallest bolts in one unit. C207 is a beautiful car.

[@ChickenNuggetDino]

Before i commit to changing mine myself, is the glc43 amg version about the same?

[@user-si1ji8go9d]

Should we do indexing?

[@abhisekchaudhary7557]

can you make a vedio how to change a front grill E300

[@chrislovecomputers]

I have a 2020 GLC 300….. is the tool size, the spark plugs , and the everything you did in your 2019 the same? I want to use this video to change my own

[@Msleelee9487]

I always do one at a time I seen a male friend go through loosening all all of them 🙄 then he was helping me change out camshaft sensor and I told him I always put a rag or towel in the engine bay under where I might drop a screw well my friend I don’t need that and what did he do got butter fingers and dropped the screw so I do my own work now🤣✌️ thanks for a informative video

[@mikeicee]

You're welcome, yeah its super annoying to drop a screw in the engine bay... I just always hope it hits the ground.

[@Msleelee9487]

@@mikeicee yes thank god it hit the ground 👍👍👍

Hi Mike. Just checking... can I reference this video when changing sparkplugs on my *2016* GLC300 Benz (RWD) ? Also do I have to use that electronic device to torque the sparkplug(s) ? (I noticed sparkplugs were not torqued in another video I watched) Thanks

[@mikeicee]

You don't need a fancy one, but you should definitely torque them because they fire up to 5 times per combustion cycle and in past some engines have had problems if wrong plugs or not torqued. Yes 2016 should be fine.

[@pgithens1]

So what was the torque spec you used for the plugs? I thought you mentioned somewhere in the video but can't find it again.

[@mikeicee]

23 NM

[@TheMikefromQuebec]

I was told by my Mercedes dealer that the Ignition coil required programming if it was replaced. I have a bad one. Have you ever replaced an ignition coil module and had to program it?

[@mikeicee]

Are you talking about the coil that goes over the spark plug, I've never heard of a programed one. If its just an ignition coil you can buy one and replace it... my E350 is 10 years old and all 6 coils have done 280K miles... So I'd just replace the bad one.

[@12neld]

Do you know if the spark plugs come pre gaped? If not where can I get the correct gap for them? Thanks in advance

[@mikeicee]

Yes they do from the dealer. The owners manual has the gap info.

[@mountainserenity9347]

Do the spark plugs need to be indexed in a certain direction?

[@mikeicee]

yes they do via torque. You'll notice the MB ones don't have crush washers.

[@MrRab]

At what mileage should you change the spark plugs?

[@nmsu92]

Mercedes recommends replacing every 50,000 miles.

[@OutlawAR15]

No anti-seize on the plugs? Not needed or not recommended?

[@mikeicee]

Not recommended because it messes with torque specs and the factory plugs are coated with nickel or some other anti seize coating. In my E350 which also uses no anti seize the plugs came out easy after 90K miles (70K service life).

[@OutlawAR15]

@@mikeicee Thanks!

[@twinscamp5409]

What is the best mileage to change the spark plugs ?

[@weliveinasimulation.]

50k miles per glc service schedule within car manual. The job takes 1 hr with electric ratchet, 3/8 extensions, 14mm magnetic socket and 3/8 torque wrench.

[@ligang7301]

How often this spark plug need to be replaced?

[@kingsalami142]

Every 50K miles

[@leelee-fi3fe]

What is the mileage on your vehicle odometer when you change the spark plug?

[@mikeicee]

About 50,000 miles.
