If you have a SLK with an engine that vibrates at idle make sure you check your engine mounts. That solved my issue thanks for your videos.
Thank you Clint, what a wonderful training demonstration, clear, extremely helpful tips and showing the patience it takes. Gives me great confidence to do the work myself with the satisfaction as a result. Massive thank you from the 🇬🇧 to the 🇺🇸
Hey Clint, just watched your video. Thanks for the time and effort to show that. Now I have to go replace mine. Thanks again.
No problem 👍
Ditto, I found this video and the one you did about the trunk lift support replacement to be one of the best and authentic that I've watched. I ordered the parts today and will attempt installation next week when they arrive. Thanks!
Thanks Clint, injectors now replaced on our SLK. Really appreciated your wonderfully clear demonstration - thanks!
Loved your dear lady at the end; "That didn't sound good" ...... Clint: "It did". :o) Great video Clint. I changed mine today in my 230K, using your vid step by step. Thanks so much sir.
Hi Clint, yout knowledge is very helpful. My 98 kompressor and my wallet both thank you sir!!
You make some of the best videos, just pulled my 98 slk230 out of storage and am fixing it up. This, as well as the fuel pump / filter video, has been helpful. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great Video! Straight forward instructions make it look like an easy process. Thanks for making it.!!
great video..clearly explained..im confident in doing mine in the future now
Thanks for sharing your experience Clint. I have a year 2000 SLK 230. Your videos have been very helpful.
You are welcome W. Mac, I am largely paying knowledge forward, thank you for your comment.
Clint you did a very good tutorial and very well and clear explained step by step, thanks to you I did my Merc C 180 1995 here in Australia. Thanks mate ,have a great day you and your dear ones.
Very very clear instructions. Impressed!
Thank you so much sir for this explanations that will help alot of people around countries, you have no idea how we like your work, I am a student and in Chemical engineering
Mechanical engineering student and I fix my car alone , i have some question my and my friends want to give you some comments that help us , we need if you do not mind to write in the comments the tools that you used in your project and like the website such as Amazon or Ebay to make it easy to let us find these tools also if you show us the problem before you start like just start the car and let us see what this problem does in the car and start your Project explanations and than show us how this problem has removed and fix. That will help alot of people included me and my friends!! Also help you if you wanna go back and write your own book you can find the information that you comments for your explanations easily thanks a lot and we looking for more help from you you are the best.
Thank you. Love these SLKs
Great video! Thanks!
wonderful brother! Thank you.
Thank you very much, I’m doing tune up work on my SLK. Replacing spark plugs, ignition coils and wires, fuel filter, valve, throttle position sensor and I’m adding this on the list. 🔧👍 I’m thinking of doing a video on it too.
You're welcome Pharaoh, good luck to you and have fun at it ;)
As time goes by fewer and fewer people are doing their own work on their cars. I appreciate your guidance. Mercedes are cheap to maintain if you do maintenance yourself. Great vid. You put that grease on the oring just like my dad used to which means u know what your doing. Hell yea
Very true, thank you for your comment Jacon.
Very helpful all your videos.keep the good work.
Thank you so much Giovanni, I will keep them coming, thanks for your comment and for watching.
Excellent demonstration, hands on lots experience. Muchas gracias, Master Mechanic
Thank you Jesse!
a great video thanks colin smith
Use a carbiter detergent spray first to keep the dust away so that it does not fall into the holes, and then use an rust remover spray to help get out the injectors. Spray it, then move the injectors in all directions and spray the rust remover. Repeat it four times or more (spray and move) and then pull easily .... this My advice I thank you
Good tips, thanks Muftah!
Great vid
Million thanks
Ok y tank you for this vidéo change injecteur Mercedes SLK very good from you
Thank you boss
Thanks so much I am going to try it !
Good luck my friend, you can do it!
I did it !! Actually I was very nervous, and take almost 5 hour, jejej but everything was ok
THank you of France.
Hi Clint. Thank you for your great films regarding your SLK. I have a -99 CLK 230 Kompressor that doesn´t run that good. (We don´t use it winter-time, and the winters i Sweden are long...)
We think there might be an injector issue since there is ethanol mixed in to our petrol and it "clogs up" the fuel lines in when not used.
Now I got the inspiration and some knowledge to try t change them myself. BIG Thank You. Take Care.
// Tomas
Good for you Tomas, give it a try, let me know if you have any questions that I might be able to help you with.
Good video, 👍😎👌
Thank you very much. :)
Thanks for a real clear video. One question I’ve read elsewhere that the new injectors need to be ‘coded’. Is this necessary on the 1999 r170 SLK230 petroleum engine?
This good change injections from 230 SLK kompressor tank you
Very helpful video! Thanks very much for making it! Any chance you'd be willing to tackle one showing how to replace the windshield washer fluid resevoir on the SLK?
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is under the wheel cover on the right hand side. Once you remove the finder liner it should be pretty clear how to change out the reservoir. I have changed it but unfortunately I didn't video the job at the time, sorry. Thank you for your comment.
Could have drained rail first with the 15mm schrader. Also might want to put some towering down to stop them clips going down them open holes. Sods Law
Thanks
I think you got the aftermarket lights like I've got trouble is mine hasn't got the bracket at the back and they're too low! I need to cut a piece of metal out and make a bracket that fixes into the insert in the inner-wing and connects to the light at the bottom, I wouldn't mind to see a picture of this but I can't seem to find anything do you have anything there or you no of any pictures for the lights? I'm assuming the original had the same fitting why it wasn't put back on the aftermarket I don't know I've gone to maximum adjustment but it's way too low.
How often should you replace the injectors then what sort of mileage?
We have a Porshce Cayenne 2004 v6 and we see If we open the lights inside the cayenne at night, some times theyare working well as a normal, but there is some separation of the acupressure is extinguished for less than a fraction of the second, please if you heard and know any informations about this problems we will really appreciated your knowledge.
I really liked the detail you went into to show this. I would like to ask you if you could recommend a set of HID headlights that are OEM compatible. I have an 1998 SLK 230. I need a resource for lots of other parts too. ... Driver side rear view mirror, fog light lens, rear view windshield mirror, new hydrolic cylinders for the convertible top ... If you have a good resource as a referral for parts, I would be grateful. Thanks again, I will be replacing the fuel injectors soon because you have boosted my confidence.
I have LED lights on this car and my BMW, Love them! ;)
Thought it was a dangerous procedure without some proper tools and good knowledge of Mercedes electrical unit.
No, the procedure is relatively straight forward really and has nothing to do with the electrical unit.
Good job, Clint. I have a 2004 MB SLK 32 and I'm starting to do some of this work myself. So your video really helped if I have to change the fuel injectors. You didn't put down the link or text on the video description for the bearing grease or tools. That would be one thing I would add to your nice video.
I am getting a P0305 Cylinder 5 misfire (not passing inspection). And I am trying to troubleshoot this problem. But I am starting with the spark plugs, coils, and wires. Question: do you use that "special" spark plug wrench to take out the plugs and wires? I took off 2 of them so far without any special tool, but those were up front and were easier.
Will try to swap coils also. Right now I am just changing out the spark plugs (double plugs) on cylinder 5. Then checking with the code reader. I am checking the 2 spark plugs from cylinder 5 with a offboard spark plug tester, just to know.
Any tips or ideas? Thanks. Will check out your other videos also.
What ended up fixing your problem?
hello friend, wanna see if you can help me, I have a slk230 but I failed, I changed almost everything I bought two camshaft and do not grab, and down the exhaust you hear a noise like air, the car does not advance more than 3 thousand rp, apart from the cmashaft the erro code is p0341
Hey Clint, did you ever figure out that there was an easier way to do this? I'm in the middle of replacing my engine in my wagon, on my channel, and was struggling with the clips! I found out if you attach them to the injector FIRST then insert them they will click in quite nicely. Thanks!
Yes I did but thanks for sharing, there may be otgerd who have not. Nice tip!
Graat video the only thing I'm worried about is getting that clip back on injector#4 is there an easier way? lol
Not that I know of, it is way back there and it's a little tight, but it can be done.
hey clint im using this guide as a little reference for the fuel supply line. im changing out my steel line for nylon because of a leak I found after changing the fuel filter.
The nylon tube thats joined to the supply nipple. there is a compression fitting lower down that line to the steel line.
its funny because at first glance, the first line leads to the return part of the rail. Thanks so much almost made a huge mess.
but my question, after ive undone the supply line underneath. would you rekon I can cut the hose and use some barbs? to join all of my supply lines?
I have seen barbs used in fuel line applications before. If you do go that route I strongly recommend, in addition to the barbs, hose clamps on both ends.
@@Engineerboy100 oh ye absolutely clamps aswell theres over 40psi in the feedline I think. thank you! I am struggling on removing the feedline not at the rail though. but clamps all the way down
Hey! My car has 6 engine codes right now, all in relation to the fuel injector, cylinder misfires and the 40k relay. I live in a tiny town so theres nobody to fix it but me, before i buy 4 fuel injectors i was wondering would this cause the engine to PURR? When the engine gets hot, it purrs starting with fast then slow pulses. Any idieas of where else to start? Thank you
Try resetting the throttle by turning the key on for 5 minutes without turning the engine on, then turn the key off. Then take it for a test drive.
Hello sir and thanks for your exelent vidios
I need your help if you please help
I have a 2002 c230k my car shakes when i stop check engine light on and some times when driving all the lights and and all the power go off some times no brake lights
ill like to know if you have any idea what can be? Ill like to know where can i get fuse and relay diagram my car do not have does diagram. Will be nice if you share a video about it and how to get it. I can not drive my car because all the light goes off when driving.
Please help me the reason I'm doing my self is because mechanics don't want to work on it they say it is complicate
👍
Read error codes.
I need help fixing my 1998 p1747 code where might you think I should start to fix it I replace the transmission recently ran fine for a while later placed all the ABS speed sensors still stuck in limp mode can you help
Sounds like you need to replace a solenoid on your transmission valve body. Not a job for beginners!
Do you still have any Corollas? Still working it I see?
I have had my Corolla for over 20 years ... and I will never sell it ;)
I would spray the seal with silicone spray
.grease will swell and rot the seal eventually
Ok tank for injecteurs change this ok for montage simple for my
Thank you sir, I have a vibration in my engine and the check engine light says piston 2 misfire. It sounds like this could definitely be the problem.
In my 1997 c230 I get the same thing . What could be the problem please ?
Or coil pack
First thing to do is the ignition coils, they are easy. There are two ignition coils, just swap them for each other including the spark plug boot, an easy job. You should see the cylinder 2 misfire change to cylinder 4. If so, you can safely suspect that the ignition coil or boot over cylinder 4 is bad. You can then swap the boots to see if the misfire follows the boot from cylinder 4 back to cylinder 2. Get a new coil and boot from the junk yard or the auto parts store and you'll probably have it fixed. I have fixed many misfire codes with new ignition coils. If the misfire remains on cylinder 2 after you swap the coils, then you know the coil and boot are ok since they are now working well on cylinder 4. The next thing would be to swap the #2 spark plug for one of the other cylinders. If you see the misfire code following the spark plug, then you know it's bad, spark plug swap is also easy. If all that checks out, the next thing to suspect is the #2 fuel injector. Use this video to swap the #2 injector for the #3 and see if your misfire follows it. You can also use a stethoscope with a probe extension to listen to the four injectors, they make a clicking sound so you will be able to hear if the #2 is not firing. The injectors can be plugged up or they can be leakey. Write back and let us know what happened. I have a persistent misfire in #4 and I have ruled out all the ignition electrical, and I can also hear all injectors firing the same. I am on my way out now to swap the #4 injector.
@@TheLarryBrown was it the #4 injector?
This Injecteur change 4 article better for économie benzin and démarrage from this cars SLK 230 kompressor
Why did you have to replace all 4 of them, I thought these injectors were pretty robust, I mean they should last at least 200-300k miles in my opinion?
This car has over 300k miles ...
@@Engineerboy100 That's impressive, the engine looks like it's done a lot less then that! Can you share if you've had to do some major work on it - head gasket, timing chain, transmission?
On my w208, the vibration/shaking turned out to be my motor mounts
Yes, that is another common cause of engine vibration in these cars. I had to do that service as well. th-cam.com/video/4KHC6qWMxuU/w-d-xo.html
So got the problem solved?
Yep :)
@@Engineerboy100 very good. Will change mine too, today.
