Thank you so much for convincing me not to replace this. That is soooooo much more work than anticipated.

Your videos are absolutely fantastic. Very clear description of tasks, required parts and tools. The arrows that you use to point to bolts, fasteners are also a tremendous help. Thank you so much for doing this, it is incredibly helpful.

One of the best, if not THE best videos I've watched on Mercedes repair. Great detail end explanation. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, and please keep up the good work...

Good camera stability, nice circling of the fasteners in question, very clear on things that could break and descriptive on exactly what needs to be done to get parts out. Very good instructional video. I wish everyone could be this good.

I agree that this is one of the best How to Videos for the ML Class. Your descriptions and Cautions are on the money. Mercedes engineers are great in F1 but they botched this up. You have saved the day however!. THANKS!

Hi, watching your great video again! My tank became very brittle, so had no choice but change out for a new one. I followed your instructions, also loosened the bolts at the electrical fuse box. After all it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Taking out the old tank, I didn't have to remove anything, since I wasn't concerned about damaging the tank. Thanks a lot!!!

I was ready to give up until I viewed your video. Purchased a fluid reservoir from a junk yard for $12.95 (used) for my 2003 Ml 320.

Awesome video! I have that exact issue with a 2003 ml500, can't find a repair vid ANYWHERE, until NOW. THANK YOU and your editing and narration is absolutely fantastic! But oh wow, jeepers what a project

[@outofthinair1]

Perfectly filmed and detailed instructions .... VERY well done thank you for sharing

[@rmsg1244]

BEST demonstration that I have seen! Thank you for your hard work in putting that together!

You are a complete rock star. My daughter inherited my 99 and the reservoir of course was brittle and cracked. I could not figure out how to get the new one into location and after watching your video.. boom it's done. Thank you and God bless!

[@mattmisanthropy.]

Omg. You weren't joking!! This explains why the ML55 I just bought came with a busted tank. They weren't gonna go to all of the effort, haha. Thanks for another great video! I'll come back to this when I take on the job

[@troybourne8254]

When you come to Western Australia for holiday, dont worry about the tools as i have them already. Amazing video tho!

[@sepfoo3512]

GREAT video! Walked me through getting the new reservoir in and it was a breeze, albeit ridiculous how much is in the way :D loved all the finer detail pointers as well. Thank you!

[@nathanlee3204]

Thanks for your work. I struggled with the washer bottle change over for hours until I saw this. On bolting the fuse housing gave me enough wiggle room to get it in with no problems at all. Well done 👍🏻

[@frankangermann6460]

Thanks for the Video. What an effort to change the reservoir…. Crazy

[@gunner678]

Excellent tutorial, I'm half way through dismantling. You are right about that corner lol.

[@sergiobulgari1180]

Thank you so much!!!
