Mercedes 190E Heater Core Replacement

Hello, today we do some maintenance to another 190e.
Heater core replacement is usually one of the most hated jobs for most people as the dash needs to be taken apart to get to it. Well aint that bad really, follow my steps and you should be fine. Be careful with the olds plastics so you don't break anything!
Thanks for watching, subscribe!

Hello brother, I have a request from you. 10:45 I accidentally messed up the socket that you held with your hand in the video and the cable order was confused. Can you help me with the correct cable ordering?

[@driftinrust]

Hello, which socket? You mean the electrical plug?

[@nedretozdemir]

@@driftinrust Brother, the heating control socket you show with your hand at exactly 10:45 in the video.
I accidentally removed that socket and the cable pin order got mixed up.
Can you make a video of the socket so I can get it in the correct order?

Hi I wonder if you can help me with a gas leak in my AC system.The detector ,detects that the leak is coming from under thecdashboard.
My question is , could the leak be coming from the heater core or woukd it be the evaporator behind the heatercore.
Any answer would be appreciated.
Thank you

[@driftinrust]

Is it leaking coolant or AC gas?

[@PaulBater]

When I charge it with AC gas R12 it only last a few weeks

[@PaulBater]

Thanks for replying.that's great

[@driftinrust]

@@PaulBater It's probably the condenser behind then. Or any other old o-ring through the system. People usually convert these to the newer gas style nowadays.

[@PaulBater]

Amazing,thanks.
I have another question if I can ask.
The lights on the center console don't work I've checked the bulbs but still no luck. The clusters lights transmission light ok.
Do you know if it could be shorting out or some fuse somewhere

[@jepku1189]

Do you need to drain all the coolant?

[@driftinrust]

Not all of it but at least from the head. Undo the heater core pipes before they come in through the bulkhead and it should be fine.

[@twotrunk1]

how long did it take you .......great video

[@driftinrust]

Thanks, about 3 hours

[@jepku1189]

11:48 how do you unclip those?

[@driftinrust]

On the side of the clip with a small screw driver, or if you don't feel like it, just leave it dangle around 😁
