How To Replace A Water Pump On A Mercedes C300
Have u done this for the rear SAM Module?
Need more 33 content.
It might be a bit I have some things I need to fix on that car
How did you get on with the new subframe hardware? Crazy enough, Mercedes WIS calls for all the threads on chassis to be chased and blown out so that you have a totally clean connection for the micro encapsulation material on the new hardware. They say the proper torque otherwise won't be reached & the bolts may eventually snap off. How nice, right? I had mine done & got reimbursed as my garage is too small for all this, but I need to lower the subframe to do some control arms. Indy (who's a Benz master tech) reused my old hardware too, probably due to not wanting to chase new threads, etc. Mildly freaked over here hahaha
Oh no yeah when it comes to these cars I try not to reuse the bold but here’s a link for you can buy new ones www.fcpeuro.com/Mercedes~Benz-parts/C300/?year=2009&m=2121&e=2073&t=5&b=5&d=1043&v=&keywords=subframe%20bolts
@@r_napoleon appreciate it man, FCP always comes through. I take it you just threw the new bolts in & you were good to go?
Yeah reverse order like it's just that easy the whole point was to show how you put it back so anyone Watching is not that simple to just put back every single video of this made never show how to put back shm
Trust me man it’s not that difficult. Mark a line for the 2 missing splines on the shaft, make sure the shaft it as far forward as it will go if you need to jack up the engine do it and slide the shaft on. I wish I could help you more but that’s all the advice I can give.
@@r_napoleon for the average person would not have no clue how to reverse order because depending how it broke also when I did this job couple weeks ago I took the whole manifold out and still was a pain to install so yeah for the average person it will be difficult so recording the process on how to install is definitely needed for advice I didn't get to record it because someone started the job and couldn't finish it and I like to start and finish and this would of been a great video on my channel I would of recorded the whole process and ideas on how it worked for me because their not a right way to install yeah theirs a right way to obviously line up with the splines but the head ach to get it to line up is not that simple again for the average person.
I have a 2011 MB C300 4matic...I just took it in for service and they are replacing my subframe and they gave me a 2024 Sl250 for a loaner..Thanks Mercedes
Oh nice I made this before the warranty came out I have been reimbursed for all the labor and cost of this but I can’t imagine if there was no extended warranty
Also these guys are programmed neverr to question orders for this reason common sense is not allowed😊
What?
So i agree why did it take 50 years for the soldiers to figure this out
Again what now?
FIINALLLY!!!!!!
Omg what a long time coming bruh
@@r_napoleon for real, she’s been teasing you for a minute
Love the video ❤ and a you have a clean evo, but I want to give you an advice you’re going the right to be a good TH-camr you just need to have a more appealing thumbnail it will give you more views . Keep up with the good work❤❤❤
I appreciate it man I need that to keep me motivated lol any advice would be great can you hit me up on IG with a couple thumbnails you see and like i would appreciate it
I’m going to try and change mine this weekend.
Please lmk how it goes and good luck hit me up on IG if you have issues I’ll be at work so I’ll get to you when I have a chance!!!
At 3:35 I am the blue one the by white one u skipped us why 😢
And bythe other blue one with the purple and yellow engine I am the blue car that has the Toyo tire’s sticker
I’m sorry my friend it may have been in my camera I’ll check to see if I have the raw footage
Bro I am the em1 that’s is blue by the yellow s2000
sorry man im sorry
Would i still be able to use a wideband gauge with a setup like this?
There is no gauge with this controller it just goes right to the ecu you’ll need to buy a gauge if you wanted to see it
@r_napoleon cool I was wondering if could wire up the same wideband to the platinum pro and still be able to monitor the afr while driving.
@@X7rocks I’m not really sure I have never had a Platnum pro I can’t be that difficult
@r_napoleon I assume wiring and kit wise its the same connecgor. Just plug into ecu and have the wideband replaced. Just wasn't sure if the haltech would leave room for the signal wire to read on a gauge or even if the stock 02 sensor can stay, cause I'd love to rid it and just run the wideband to it 😀
You’re amazing thank you for this video ❤
I appreciate it thank you 🙏🏽
R33 gtr in midnight purple is my dream car
I have never been one for midnight purple but still a good car
Aye at 8:40 mannnnnn you made my bay look more clean then she really looked that day 🔥🔥thanks buddy 🤣🤙
Had to take care of my boy lol
I'm watching this as I'm stranded in a parking lot due to my CAS randomly completely dying. I didn't know you had a YT channel brotha. Were friends on FB.
damn man im so sorry you have issues with the car trust me i have been there. i have been making videos for a while now its just to bad im not like dustin williams famous yet but its ok. its crazy im just working on my car and have to do it anyways so why not film it lol.
You will have great content. Update cas is replaced she's wants to start now but I believe I'm having fuel delivery issues from the FPR.
You do know that they fix this free at the Benz dealer
Yeah unfortunately I made this video before the warranty came out but I have a few ppl in my dms telling me their car is it on the recall list 🤷🏽♂️
Now that one looks almost exactly like mine mines a little bit more dirty, though it needs a little bit of work
Definitely a good car for sure
nice impala
Don’t disrespect the bowtie 😂😂🤣
Thats Beautiful
Thank you so much
Clean
Thank you so much
Is that an RB25 neo head ?
No it’s weird I found the kit it’s an early version of the HKS vcam. It was on the car when I bought it
Amazing combo! 🔥🔥🔥
I agree the bikes not mine though lol
You are the best I have ever seen doing a video. God bless you, brother. You really put things in perspective. I hope you pursue a career and this kind of thing because you are 100% helpful and two guys that have knowledge and vehicle repair is not for the averageoil change tire pressure mechanic but man you are good. God bless you with your family.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it. I really try my best to show everything I can but I’m just happy if my videos help people.
Happy Birthday my love 😍
Thank you babes
Dr. Napoleon!!! Thank you so much!!!! I just watched this wonderful video of yours and by reading the comments I found out that they extended the warrantyfor 20 years!!! I just called Mercedes-Benz of North Haven Connecticut and they told me it's covered and I am besides myself here!!! Thank you so much!!!!! Gary.
That’s awesome Gary I’m very happy some ppl aren’t so lucky I did this video right before the warranty came in the mail but it’s ok
😍😍😍
Look at you babes commenting lol
Showing my support 🥰
I bet i could wreck that car in record time if i was behind the wheel.
lol I hope not
Not a gtr. Just a badge. Probably an automatic.
Maybe you should look at a few videos before thinking it’s not legit lol
@r_napoleon it doesn't have a flared rear wells, a standard feature of all "real" GTRs. Maybe your R33 GT4 with the rb26 in it is just a wanna be kit car. Hope you didn't pay a 100grand for it, else you're a REAL car noob.
@@jamieganderton you may want to look again my friend oem wide rear arches, rb26, atessa awd with hicas and brembos it’s all there. You may want to check out a long form video of my GTR. No I paid nowhere near 100k for my car lol.
Honestly watching you use the hydraulic arm to push the tire down while keeping the tire from beading with the tire iron was genius and it really helped me get my low pros on cuz I was struggling cuz the tire kept beading before I got it all the way on the wheel. Thank you
Oh man I’m happy the video helped you my friend
That's soo nicee 😮💨😮💨
lol not really my taste but to each their own. I’m more of a flush fitment guy myself lol
@@r_napoleon haha well I've got a sti hatch but not got the money for bags and these control arms etc so carnt get the fitment exactly 🤣, so I've just lowered it on coils on some rpf1's 👌
Same thing happened to my Elantra N. Stud broke and they had to remove the manifold.
Yeah it wasn’t fun be we took care of it though
Do we need to coding the fscu for the replacement even if the part number is same?
i haven't had any issues with mine but that why i got one with the same numbers
Called the dealer to get an idea what it would cost if they did it. They told me it's covered under warranty. 20 year warranty for read subframe.
NICE!!! there are some like myself that did this video before this warranty ever existed but some unfortunately have been denied so they watch and learn how to do it. I am glad you can get yours covers for sure
@@r_napoleon yes, I was glad. I'm grateful for your video too, I wasn't sure how it all came together back there. I like your video style.
@@samirrawashdeh9368 thank you i appreciate the kind words. im going to be getting back into my long form content soon
By reading your comment I just called the dealer and found out my 2011 300 is covered also!!!! thank you so much!!!!
Thank you just got these for my 33
Nice they only primed so be sure to have them finished in your color or like mine in black
you do not go in sequence with the Rb camshaft until you are level, and cam is sat. you focus on the first cylinders to touch the cam lobes . and slowly tighten the unloaded caps just to maintain that level through its seating, and then you sequentially tighten center outboard.
Oh no man it definitely wasn’t me that broke it lol my machine shop did but they paid for a new one for sure then did the job correctly lol. I’m a year in on that head job
@@r_napoleon good deal , nice of them to replace it, and yeah im building a head off car, i got a heritage head when they were fair $. im doing a V-Cam , and 272 exhaust cam , and i ported and port matched the head to intake manifold and exhaust manifold . so its matched all the way through . ferrea valves , shimless , with Toyota retainers . should be real quiet and perfectly dialed in . will go on in a few weeks.
@@twistymcslide2 that’s awesome 👏🏾
Agreed ❤
Thank you so much I appreciate it ☺️
Just wanted to say thanks for making this video. Thanks to the video, I was able to make up my mind and pulled the trigger on this exhaust. I'm excited to get it and install it.
I’m happy this video helped you please lmk how you like the exhaust!!!
@r_napoleon Love it so far. Been on for 3 days now. My set up prior to the mbrp exhaust was plm dp, ark mid, and oem muffler. It's definitely louder now but I finally got the deep tone I was looking for. Also pops more and they sound louder than before. Very minimal rasp and drone. My down pipe has a cat so it's not as loud as your friens car. Overall I would buy it again and I'm very happy with it. Definite upgrade over stock muffler. Thanks again for helping me out with my decision.
@@ALL0UT323 thats awesome well i'm very happy i could help out in any way
you just made me 6 grand. bought one of these with this issue been sitting for 8 months.. couldn’t figure it out i checked the rear sam under the carpet sam and the fuse voltages. nothing seemed off. now that i found someone who had that weird blasting fan sound along with the lights issue but runs perfectly fine and drives right…
Everything good now I hope 🤞?
@@r_napoleon still working on it just got to wiper motor out and all the coverings about to access it
Mine had sponge too my wife baught car new 10 c300
I have seen this happen plenty of time what I have done worked for me and a few others but if your was in a crazy pool of water it may be more costly to fix
I tried it didn’t work my wipers dnt work seats blinkers
Ok did you find any water at all in the spot where the Sam module goes?
I did
Just happened to me thank u
I hope my knowledge helps you
Sam mod fuses r working but have no seat no blinkers no ac
@@sammanna94 this one is a mystery to me but please keep me in the look on what you find. If it were my car i would be working to find what it could be but it’s tough to diagnose a car that’s not in front of me 🙁
How does it clear the rear arches ? Does it rub?
No rub in the rear at all it’s close though the front rubs on full lock
@@r_napoleon thanks for the info
@@ravonstraker5991 your very welcome
One day man one day I’ll have one of those
IMO one of the most underrated GTRs for sure
is this a sunburst?
what do you mean?
@@r_napoleon is this car is Hiroichi sunburst?
@@user-vq6ky1lf8y oh yeah from the land of the rising sun
@@r_napoleon nice
I shall be the first to like ❤
thank you so much for the support
Thx a lot about the video. I got a call from the repairman that there is a recall from Mercedes (2012) to replace this part free of charge.... but I had no clue what is a rear subframe. When twisting the subframe with a frame, I recognize the noise I encounter and all the mystery is all clear. But I am kind of surprised since I have done rustproofing every year, and this part 's lifespan was so... short.
Your very welcome 🙏🏽 I’m glad your getting your vehicle fixed it’s definitely very sketchy if it gets worse
Definitely need this. Also have no gauges in my car.
Yeah I just have the 1 so far but Im looking at 1 more fancy gauge lol just haven’t grabbed it up yet
Beautiful car!!! I have a kn6 gtr and also from pa🤙
