Is there an easy way to unplug the EGR actuator without having to remove everything? I am looking at getting a tune on a 2014 E250 and one of the options disables the EGR valve but you still have to unplug the wire to it.
@HOWTODO0828 have to get a better look in there, it's on the bottom of the intake correct? Also, where the heck is the swirl valve control plug, thank you so much!!
Hi, thank you for the Video but in most places your head or body is in the way to see what you are removing. Try to position the camera better or get a second camera, it will make your Videos much more worth to watch.
@@HOWTODO0828 don’t take it personally it’s just a recommendation for you brother 🫶🏻 but after watching your video, I think I won’t do this, it’s a long process..6 Hours in Total .. I have the P0400 error on my W212 220 🙈🙈🙈
Hello, at the end of the video when the car engine started, what is that rough noice for first few seconds and than it normalizes. Is thah chain ? Thanks btw great video
Hello, yes it's the chain which it's worn out, the chain it's original and it has never been replaced. And also the injectors have some bad seals wich will be replaced soon🙏
Can you help me I have been trying to install a mechanical boost gauge on my engine but I can’t find a hose to connect it to. My engine is this exact one.
This car was my second one for this job. It took me about 6 complete hours to do it in my garage without lifting the car up because I didn't have an lift (elevator) in the garage. I'm sure anybody who work on Mercedes or who has knowledge can do it even faster then me.
Hello, Could you please help me out and possibly direct me in the right way. I am working on the same engine and I am looking for AIT sensor (air intake temperature sensor) do you by any chance know where it is located? some say it's on the throttle body? any help would be appreciated! great video by the way
Hello my friend and thank you for feedback, the AIT sensor on this engine it's located right in the pipe on wich the throttle body it's connected, the pipe it's going in the intake manifold and the sensor it's in the middle of the intake manifold and the throttle body. You have to remove all the parts showed you in the video to reach it and to be able to remove it safely and clean it or replace it. In the video I also showed the sensor(AIT) wich I CLEANED. GOOD LUCK MY MAN.
My GLE has an oil leak from throttle body and has been to MB dealer multi times and they have been unable to fix it after replacing turbo seal many times. I would appreciate your help if you could advise what could be the problem? Cheers
Mb dealers have the worst mechanics. You should replace the throttle body and the seals from it. Also check the top rocket cover because they tend to find and bend because they're made from plastic and in time they start leaking. Only a new one Will fix the leaking problem. Also the turbo should be checked and I'd there it's a leak fisrt you should replace the turbo seals from around it. Those are not expensive parts and can be done by any mechanic.
Thank you for your reply. But what surprises me is that the throttle is in the air breathing system where the hell that oil comes from? Also where are you based can you do this job? Can I send you a private message? Thank you.
It's normal to have some oil inside the throttle body and intake. The vapours of oil will go in the intercooler and thats they'r passage. Sometimes the vapours will stick to the sides it the intake manifold and the throttle body and transform back into oil. That's why you have oil inside there.
Hi, Thank you for the information in your video I have a c220 cdi with the om651 engine And sometimes thick white smoke starts coming out from the exhaust with bad smell like matches I checked the temperature is ok Oil level after 10k km is ok no burning Coolant level is ok But where i live the diesel quality is bad What are the possible causes for the white smoke and should i be worried ? Also when it happens there is absolutely nothing wrong with car normal idle normal engine sound no loss in power everything seems fine except the white smoke Thank you and please let me know of the causes
If you don't have any coolant loss then you don't have to worry. Buy you could also replace the glow plugs just to be safe and good. Also put some quality diesel in it if you can. Cheers
Hello That's a great video. My car is a w166 ml 250 bluetec. The engine warning has been turned on and the diagnostic has checked that the throttle is stopped at 97.4% and the fault code is p0122. The car doesn't have any symptoms yet. If the throttle body is shut down, what symptoms will happen to the car? I would appreciate it if you could also let me know if replacing the throttle body will resolve the symptoms.
Hello. Thanks you for supporting me and my channell, from what I can read in your comment your throttle body it's faulty and it's not working in the right parameters. It's not a big problem if it's not working how it should work because the throttle body it's there only to make your car shut down smoothly when you turn of the ignition and also to start it up a little bit smoother. Also if you don't replace your engine will make a lot of vibrations when you will turn it of and that's not good for the engine and all the bushing wich it's supporting it. If you replace the throttle body you will fix your problem and the engine will work smoother and also the check engine light from the dashboard wil dissappear.
Hello, the air temperature sensor it's located over the intake manifold and you cand t reach it unless you remove the intake manifold. Also the air debimeter it's located next to the air filter, you will see a huge hose wich goes into the air filter underneath the ecm/ecu and there it it.
Hi I think I need to replace my throttle valve. Looks like a big job And alot of stripping. Mine is a c class so probably less room. I have codes po123-15 throttle valve short circuit to positive and p2112 throttle valve jammed closed.
Yes, your throttle body it's stuck in a closed position due to excessive build ap carbon but I recommend you to replace it and not clean it because it's a difficult job and you don't want to do it more then one time.
I did today the same job on my C Class with the OM651 and i also removed this fuel pipe. Unfortunately my auto did not start up, i tried a few times approximately 6-7 times without success, i am a bit frustrated. Tomorrow i will check once again if i have forgotten a cable plug or a vacuum pipe but i don't think its the case, last but not least i am tending to do a fuel vent direct on the injectors. Do you have any oyher suggestion ?
Probably you forgot to connect the throttle body connector, try verifying if all the connectors are installed properly, chech if the hoses are connected to the vacum and check the fuel pressure sensors. And you could try to spray some starter spray into the air intake and start the car, someone should spray the starter spray into the air intake and someone should start the car at the same time, eventually it will start for sure if you did al of this things right. Don't worry because sometimes depends from car to car it's harder or easyer to start them after jobs like this. I experienced a lot of cars doing like this.
Thanks for the reply, would you direct vent the injectors or not ? As for the vacuum hose I did found yesterday one that is hanging next to the gearbox and to be honest it is larger than all the other vacuum hoses......I try to see if it fit anywhere but did not see a reasonable connection. As for the throttle body I am 100% positive that I connected it because the harnesses with the connector has hold for me in place the throttle body until I fit the 4 screws.
Underneath the fuel filter it's a plastic pipe and inside that pip3 it's traveling antifreeze. I saw a lot of cars with that plastic pipe cracked or broked due to corossionand it start leaking antifreeze. You should check it too and see you you have a problem right there.
P042F73 The exhaust gas recirculation positioner (high pressure) is jammed closed. The actuator does not open. E220 w212 . And car won t accelerate. I turn off the engine then will work as normal a bit. Can be clean the egr or is something else? Thank you!!!

You could remove the bottom hose from the radiator or you cand just remove the hoses from around the egr valve and the coolant will leak itself.
