I started to mess with my last night because I wasn't getting any heat and I noticed that the top part was actually broken, I never saw anything fluid on the ground, but oh man that is the most difficult thing to take out. I never got to finish, I will have to buy the right clamp to remove the collaps of which in Amazon you can get one for about $20. That will be my little project for this weekend if it doesn't rain.
Hey, good luck this weekend, I’m sure it’ll work out!! And thanks for watching, I appreciate it!!
I have the same issue, but when I let it sit overnight and it drops to around 40 degrees outside the next day heat works again. I have the valve, just finding the time to change it is an issue. This video gave some motivation to go ahead and get it done.
Glad I could inspire you! You got a few months b4 it gets cold again lol. And thanks for watching. I appreciate it!
I know this repair is a bit hectic but it really helps if you use pliers like these which allow you to get in tight places and clamp those clamps. These are just an example, kind of the same concept as a bicycle brake: Gearwrench Hose Clamp Cable Pliers
Thanks, I appreciate the info/advice. Hopefully I will not have to do it again, but if I do, I’ll get them. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!!
Car looks so clean.
Thanks, I’m trying to keep it that way. I appreciate the positivity! Thanks for watching!
I have 2007 Mercedes s550, that has 174k miles. You would never know it though as the car has been completely restored by me. The previous owner did some work on it but i literally went the next level. I came upon your video as I had a coolant leak that after replacing the water pump, coolant reservoir, hoses, thermostat it was still leaking. Being from jersey it’s still cold and I went to turn on the heat and no hot air was blowing out of the vents. Of course the coolant light keeps turning on after I fill the reservoir up. It’s not losing a ton of coolant but I need to keep topping it off. Needless to say the change over valve was faulty and now I am back in business thank you.
I’m in CT, so we’re neighbors. Good luck with it!!
I am in CT all the time.. Frank Pepe’s is my spot lol.
Oh really. I’m not far from Pepe’s. Either one. We’ll have to get the cars together after this pandemic settles!
Sooo did your heater work? My problem is cold air front warm air rear. Benz forums claim this is a benz issue. Hope yours works thanks for the Vid😎
Hey bro, thanks for the support. I really appreciate it. And yes, it did work! So happy it did. Saved so much money doing it myself. What year and model is yours?
@@autodtails1 2008 CLS550. Runs great only prob is I need the control valve replaced lol
@@furiouswolf777voodoo4 yup, I just double checked on that, you do need the heater control valve. It’s located same as mine, under the windshield wiper area. Good luck bro.I’m sure it’ll work out!
It would help to show exactly "what and how "you did instead of just showing the finished work
Sorry, I definitely tried to. I hope it at least helped a little. Thanks for watching.
Cars real clean I have the same issue too I'm about to do mines as of right now thank you for the video
You’re welcome bro! Good luck with it! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
@@autodtails1 thank you and I fixed it at work 🙏🏾💪🏽
@@Peaceinlove1432nice!!👍🏾
My coolent in my 2010 S550 suddenly leaked heavily and my temperature went high sky, I freaked out. It was this little sh*t it was split in half, Man, it was pain in the A$$ repleacing them . took me 1.5 hour without special tools
Oh wow!! Crazy how such a small part can cause so much trouble! And so annoying to get to it! I’m glad you were able to fix it. German engineering!….Thanks for watching!!
Hi did it work straight away or after a while?
Because I changed mine and still no hot air do u know maybe where the fuse is for heater control valve thanks
It did seem to work right away. My heat was cold. Once I changed it, it warmed up. I’m not sure where that particular fuse is. There is a dashboard fuse box,(located on the driver’s side and front passenger side),a fuse box in the rear(behind the armrest), and 2 fuse boxes in the engine compartment on the left and right. Good luck, and thanks for watching. I appreciate it!!
