I like channels like this. It’s good to know these things because a lot of garages charge you for things that you can simply do yourself with a little bit of time and effort.
If the spark plugs seals are over 15 years on the engine, it's a good time to replace them, they will start to leak. Note that if you decide to replace them, make sure remove the whole seal(with the metal part) and also you have a tool to press the new ones into the valve cover - you can make a tool that is like the mercedes original tool (111589041500) out of some metal pipe or a big socket with the same diameter and hammer those suckers in. Tips for that would be to heat the valve cover around the spark plug seals just before install and put the new seals in the freezer the night before the job, that will make it much more easier to install. Hit the tool with the hammer until the seals have passed the lip. If you don't press them in, you'll have oil leaks on the top of the spark plugs and coils, guarantee.
@@jamesluna6743 Use a sharp chisel or screw driver and 'catch' the lip and lightly tap so the lip collapses inward towards the center of the hold. After you get that 'V' in the metal ring, then grab it with pliers and pry it out. Be careful not to damage the aluminum valve cover during this process.
i think its wrong, 27nm its a lot, its the same as the oil drain plug (25-30nm), the cover is made of plastic, i think the torque is 10nm max, maybe 8nm
The cover is very hard to come off in my case. Already tried banging the cover with a rubber mallet and shaking it. Still not coming loose. In your case, it seems to just lift off easily.
Hello, I am your Subscriber from Azerbaijan, I have a W203 Sport coupe 2.3 Compressor engine, I myself was engaged in diagnostics for me, this car has already tortured me all the parameters in the scanner and let me look at the normal position fuel consumption a lot when I press the gas black smoke changed the flow meter looked at the scanner shows normal 11 and 12 kg I cleaned the throttle valve I cleaned the injectors all the actual values I looked I can’t find the reason why the flow rate I want to ask you a lot, you can check through Teamwiver how to find this reason even the coolant temperature sensor changed all the same errors no put a new ignition coil all the same flow rate is high when I press the gas on the exhaust, the black smoke changed the maf, no result, the pressure was blown at 12 bar each clider, you don’t have a catalyst in the car, set the cadding 918-32 mode without a catalytic converter in the check, the lambda probe before the catalyst will show 425 millivolts, I can’t find the reason for the high consumption, according to your opinion, what can be with this situ hello we need your help waiting for your reply
