2008 CLK550 Oil Change - the Elegant Way
มุมมอง 482ปีที่แล้ว
Just a regular oil change on my CLK. The only thing different this time was that I used a manual oil extractor pump and everything was so nice and easy. As you will see in the video, I extracted more oil than the pump capacity and I ended up spilling a little bit on the floor. That was my fault and fortunately it cleaned up very well. Other than that, everything was textbook easy. I recommend, ...
2007 R Class Main and Auxiliary Battery Replacement
มุมมอง 27Kปีที่แล้ว
Changing the main battery in R Class (also in M, GL, GLE and GLS) is not simple. However, when you replace the auxiliary battery as well, things are getting a little more complicated. I apologize for the quality of the camera work. It is hard to work with one hand and hold the phone with the other. Please let me know if you have questions. There is an error code that you need to erase at the en...

2007 Mercedes R Class HID D2S Low Beam Bulb Change Passenger Side
มุมมอง 5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I tried for passenger's side to remove the HID bulb without taking the wheel off, but the space inside the headlight was too tight for my hands. I just couldn't manage to remove the mounting base of the bulb, so I had to redo all the work I did in July for driver's side. Take your time and with patience, it's fairly easy. If you have questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

I had to replace the mirror turning signal assembly on my 2007 R320 CDI and while there are a lot of references on the internet, I couldn't find one that was matching the mirror structure of the R Class.

I changed both batteries without removing seat or connectors. Don't delete the comment please
Hi @AsianBlackR3501, sorry, I have no idea why your comment had disappeared. I am not deleting anything. I have just replied to you a few minutes ago. I hope I didn't do anything by mistake. Actually I am glad when someone uses my videos and manages to get the job done easier and simpler. Honestly, while changing the main battery is possible without removing the passenger seat, I have never heard of anyone to change the auxiliary in the same way. OK, now I am very careful and make sure I just Reply to your message :)
@@konradspages7937 No hard feeling buddy. I did it myself and I know it is possible to do it without remove seat or unplug the connectors. I own 2008 & 2012 Mercede r350 and do most DIY myself. Good job on your video.

I agree, it is possible for the main battery. If you want to change the auxiliary as well, then it's getting complicated.

thank you for nice informative explination
You are welcome, I am glad it was useful to you. I have made another video for the passenger side and I have explained a little more in that one how to replace the bulb, if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/BUf8TaTmrlc/w-d-xo.html
very informative video. Thank you for the information, as most videos I keep seeing on this topic missparts
Thank you for your nice comment. I learn a lot from the internet and giving back to the community is the right way to go :)
Hi, is it tight in there?
i just witness the another blunder of stupd duma$$ German engineers. they placed batteries under the electric seat which is also powered by these batteries that means if battery dies you need external source to energize and worst is if the main fuse got blown that means you have to cut seat and carpet in order to reach that miniac german fuse. all the toxic fumes of batteries are recirculate in cabin.
Now i got it why Mercedes and other german brands fails. Designed and engineered by stu oid domA$$ engineers. older(before 90s) mercedes are way better engineered. those were complicated compared to others but not shit like newer one(after 2000). german engineers degrees must be cancel and ban for working until they should learn and get degrees from Japanese.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve just replaced the perished rubberised steering wheel switches on my R320 . Epic job. Massive fiddle. The new ones look great though. Disconnected the battery to avoid any unwelcome air bag excitement . Didn’t need to to remove the seats, access was fine . I replaced the battery a while back, again no need to remove the seats .
Yes, you are right. To access the main battery you don't need to remove the passenger seat. However, for the auxiliary one, you have to do that. For me it's a learning process and I like "to have space" when I work. I tend to disassemble more than necessary, but this will help everyone with a better understanding of how the things are put together.
It’s there because there’s no room in the engine bay . A design compromise. Aimed at maximising interior space.
Yes, it makes sense :) The hood is so short and the engine is practically buried half way under the windshield.
Hey there thanks so much this is so helpful step by step and I will be buying everything I need to do it myself so tired of dealerships trying to charge so much for stuff. I had a question also if the main battery is brand new and the auxiliary needs to be replaced will that cause the car to be dead all together ?
Hi @missimani, no, even if the auxiliary is discharged, and the main one is new, you will still be able to drive the car normally. However, at some point, you might get a message on the dashboard to replace the auxiliary. Mine was good to go after 16 years and two main battery changed.
what? Does anybody holds responsibility for such anti human design? these engineers really commit crimes by making everything over-engineered and stupid!
I think I will re-wire it to somewhere easier to access.
Hi Edwin, actually this is a great idea. I don't think it will apply to me, as we are planning to drive the car to the ground and then get a new one :) But if the next car will have the same challenges, I will take this into consideration!
За какво служи малкия акумулатор?
It keeps all electronics in the car functioning during the start of the engine, or when the level of the main battery drops too much. I don't know if you are Ukrainian or Russian. This is Google Translate: Он поддерживает работоспособность всей электроники автомобиля во время запуска двигателя или при слишком сильном падении уровня заряда основной батареи.

Thanks for sharing, very informative! Such a pain for a simple battery replacement.
You are welcome :). I agree, it could have been done more ergonomically, but I guess they want to force people to go to the dealership and charge them royalty for the service.
A useful video Conrad however by positioning the seat fully up and fully forward (fully back for negative terminal)you can remove the main battery from the rear of the drivers seat (UK) without removing the seat. I’ve not done my small battery yet but would recommend moving seat fully up & back to access the front carpeted area 😁🤗
Hi Ian, thanks for the comment. To replace the main battery, you can move the seat fully forward but you will need to cut the carpet, which I didn't want to. As for the auxiliary battery, it might be possible to replace it with the seat fully backwards, but I think it would be a major head ache. I find that removing the seat creates plenty of room to work comfortable. Also keep in mind that all R Classes sold in North America are long wheel base. The standard ones I assume are more cramped. Anyways, good luck!
yes you can do it that way BUT it will actually take longer and you will have to cut your carpet with a stanley knife (box cutter) and that is the backyard Mickey Mouse mechanic way to do things. This video shows people the proper way to do things end of story
Can you put a link to the bulb you bought? I've seen many types I don't want to buy the wrong one. Thank you. By the way I am able to replace and access without removing the headlight on 2008 R320.
Hi Alawa, the bulb type is in the description: HID D2S. I don't know in which part of the world you are, but on amazon, you can find it here: www.amazon.ca/Philips-Standard-Authentic-Xenon-Headlight/dp/B01317Y612?th=1 Just type HID D2S. In one of my videos, I have shown the new one, in the box, and out of the box. You can have a look and make sure you buy the right one. Good Luck! PS By the way, if you have access to the bulb, take it out and see exactly how it looks like and compare it with what you can find on internet.
The bolts can be on the clamp when you install the battery. Its still a dumbass place to put a battery.
That's right. I'll try it next time. Hopefully it will not complicate everything :) Thanks for the tip!
Thank you!! Only video I found that actually reset it!
You are welcome & thanks for watching :)
In the UK the battery is directly under the drivers seat So you have to take the drivers seat off and out the way ... Its yhe most ridiculous design ever
If you change only the main battery, there is a way to push the seat forward to the max and then roll the carpet behind it, to access it under the floor. If you need to change the auxiliary, you are doomed, the seat has to come out.
what hold down bracket should i purchase in case of a smaller battery? cant seem to find one
Hi @SlightlyDank, you can try to slide one or two pieces of sheet metal band (2-3mm thick) under the clamp and extend it to catch the lip of the battery. I am sorry, I don't know how to explain better.
Thank you! Was a great step by step Tutorial! I was wondering how to remove the side mirrors. Appreciate the precise video.
My pleasure. Anytime 🤠
Thanks
Anytime!
nice job ... but ... you had to show us some more information about that pump ... thanks !
thanks man
Anytime.
Thanks to your video I understood how it looks inside so I managed to do the whole thing without removing anything(even intake hoses as someone did).
These are the best comments and make me really glad that my hard, painful :) work was useful to someone else and saved time.
What a stupid place to put a battery. I thought the Germans were supposed to be smart.
Yes, they are. But they are not perfect :)
Thanks a lot for the video, it helped me very much with my W163 - I had trouble with fixing the mirror glass to the motor unit, but your explanation and demonstration enabled me to do the job in a minute!
Unfortunately I only found this out after I bought my R 350. I will be selling it very soon.
I called a mechanic to change the battery, and we didn't remove the seat, just put it as far forward as possible. Done. Then I started the car thinking I wouldn't see the battery warning anymore: Wrong. Instead of the red battery picture, I got a white battery picture, and found out that my auxiliary (I didn't know I had one) was gone as well. No big deal. A new one costs about $ 60. Then I went to find out where the little battery was located, and found out I had to dismantle the car to replace it. It is under the front passenger feet, and to change it I WILL have to remove the front passenger seat, the door sill, the carpet, and the wall lining (so that I can remove the carpet).
@@ronpinto9588 Hi Ron, yes, you are right. The main battery can be changed by pushing the front seat maximum forward. But for me, it was time to swap the auxiliary battery as well, hence the headache :). Honestly, it is not a difficult replacement, but it is long and cumbersome. I am sure, with a little bit of thought, this could have been done way better. Just pick a nice day, good music and a beer (or a cocktail) and it's actually fun. Fun fact, the dealer quote me $180 CAD and I bought a similar battery from Amazon for $24 CAD.
Best vehicle I’ve ever owned
@@ronpinto9588 don't be so lazy. Its 4 bolts. Are your kids as lazy as their dad ?
@@ronpinto9588Do you also step out of the shower to piss? Lazy twit 😮😮
I am definitely going to sell my R 350. The maintenance issues are incredible. Changing the battery, something you can do on a regular car very easily, it takes a major disassembling of seats, carpet, etc. To change the small auxiliary battery, I have to remove the entire front passenger seat. Now, to change a simple light bulb I need to take the whole front apart... come on. I am done
Hi Ron, I can definitely see your point. However, it looks like other people can change the bulbs without taking the headlights out. I did it because my hand just does not fit into that space and I was afraid not to destroy the bulb. But if you have time and have some tools handy, it can be done. I hope newer models are not so complicated. It looks like they are trying to make you go to the dealer :):)
Its actually accpetable. You don't change batteries that often and the whole thing took me 20 minutes.
What a pain in the ass
You are absolutely right. I am not looking forward to the next battery replacement on the R Class :):):)

@@markfitzy.86 You are welcome. That's why the internet exists, we can help each other. As for the job, take your time, pick a day with nice weather and have fun. If you disconnect the passenger's seat, make sure you have a scanner to reset the error code at the end. No big deal, but you need it.

Great video does this work for a w163 ML350?
Hi Andre, I don't know if this is applicable for W163. I found that there are slight variations between mirror casings from one model to another, but no big differences. You will know for sure when you take your mirror off.

I succeed without removing the lamps. Spent 7 mins with 1st (driver side) and 3 mins (after I understood all the fingerwork) with 2nd. Only needed to remove air intake hoses, to make more space for hands and my torch. Konrad's video was very useful to undersatnd the workflow. And actually it is easy work, after he explained how everything is assembled inside the lamp.
I am so glad that somebody replaced them the easy way :) Way to go!
Thanks for video. Going to try it without taking lamp off the car :(
Hi there, I have another video, for passenger's side where I tried to take the bulb out without disassembling the head light. th-cam.com/video/BUf8TaTmrlc/w-d-xo.html It didn't work (for me), as I have pretty big hands and the space is extremely tight and hard to reach. If you manage to take out the black base of the bulb, you are good to go. Just keep in mind that it would be even harder to put everything back. Be very careful not to touch the bulb with bare hands and not to break the bulb when you put it in. When you put it back, it goes at a very steep angle. Again, on R Class is very cumbersome, and that's why I prefer to take the headlight off and work comfortably on the work bench.
bravo my friend ! until now i didn't see how to do that ! thank you !
Thank you! I am glad I could help. Yours is the first comment on my first video :)
