Hi I would need your help in replacing a stater motor for my Mercedes c220 cdi

[@williamkennedy5492]

You have convinced me it was a major mistake buying my E class, this is absolutely ridiculous, as soon as i have replaced that plastic inlet manifold the cars up for sale , let someone else have Mr mercedes home grown problems. Again a big thank you for your video you shine a light into the dark corners of mercedes benz repair,

[@biggietriss6586]

finally a mechanic on youtube that doesn’t have broken english 🙂

[@fabiencapon565]

thank you, very usefull. It will be perfect if you put some more details in you video (which screws you have to remove, connectors, etc...) but again great job, and very nice of you to share your knowledges :-)

[@salihbegovic]

Thank you very much. Of course there is more details but it help me very much

Live this Video and your filming Style!

[@wangnani7624]

very helpful. That will be great if you simply show the connection points on each component. Thank you

[@BigHumz155]

Jesus that new starter motor sounds a lot better than mine, that's what 140k miles of start/stop does to your starter I guess. I've only recently just unplugged the negative battery sensor and that's pretty much disabled ECO, so for everyone else with a 651 that wants to preserve their timing gear and chains, do this too 👍

[@mercmantips]

ECO is a complete waste of time!

[@BigHumz155]

@@mercmantips Agreed! I'll code it out.. eventually..

Salam Humza, I can understand from your name that you are a believer of your creator (Allah), how it is possible you call prophet Isa ( Jesus) as your Lord as they !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@madds6678]

You can do it without removing the vacuum cell or splitting the cat/dpf, just unscrew the oxygen sensor & remove the lower steering coupling then remove the complete unit from below. Can’t tell you how many cat/dpf leaks I have to deal with from the two being split then incorrectly aligned & dpf pressure sensor pipes twisted.

Thank you, this was very helpful and good video !! 😍 now my starter has been removed and placing new one 🥴🙌

[@sufyanumar4663]

My w204 c220 CDI 2010 just makes one single click when trying to start the car? Battery is fine. Will it be the starter motor?

Any chance of doing a video replacing the thermostat with the plastic housing for a 2010 w204 c220cdi om651 engine. Cheers

[@mercmantips]

I will add that to my list of videos to do

Nice easy instruction, great editing idea! 😉

Great video man keep it up

Best vedio love to see this video. Thanks

[@krystoph4420]

That's ridiculous on my 2005 Vito with OM646 you just go underneath and you can undo the bolts and replace it. I've just bought a newer Vito with a OM651, hope it's not as bad as this

[@abdelchemami6964]

Hi, could you please advise on the location of coolant drain screw on the crankcase

[@leebebb3349]

Hi I’ve just had my starter replaced as it burnt out I’ve replaced the starter fuse and checked the relay but when ignition is turned on and you try to crank the engine nothing happens is there anything ecu related which will be holding back from cranking? Thanks

[@mercmantips]

There is another video on my channel checking the starter motor, and how to check if there is live going to the starter motor, i would first check for live going to the starter motor and then go from there

[@armanikurds2227]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@garethcrf]

Great work Merc man ! Did that engine have timing chain rattle or it just me when you started it up?

[@mercmantips]

Hi Gareth, well spotted, it has a slight rattle on cold startup which is the first signs of a stretched timing chain..

[@garethcrf]

@@mercmantips thought so , my Vito sounds very similar. I've put a new tensioner and changed the oil but it still does it. Have you changed the chains before?

[@mercmantips]

Yes on E class and C class we have changed loads, but never on a vito yet there is not much room at the back but could be done if the wiper mechanism and scuttle panel is removed..

[@garethcrf]

@@mercmantips You're right its tricky access ! I've heard the engine needs removing but that adds massively to the cost.

[@mercmantips]

I think you will have enough room to do the timing chain on a Vito if you remove the scuttle panel, i have never tried but i will give it a go if i get one come into my workshop, if the guides are broken (sometimes they do if you leave it too long) then the engine definitely needs to come out even on a E or C class..

[@bevishyrden226]

What is it like to get under the car by jacking up the car? Do I have to jack on both sides?

[@IrestoreIT]

Have you lowered the engine? Because I haven’t access to the two 11 screws that holds the starter

[@mercmantips]

No dont have to lower the engine, use long extension to reach the bolts from behind the gearbox

[@jbcapone9578]

Looks so easy in that video haha

[@ililiililliliill9498]

Can you tell me if the ground wire for the starter is a part of the engine wiring harness?

[@dasauto7847]

Great work 👍👍

[@likanworld9301]

Well done!

[@ajetheta7650]

How long does it take to change that starting motor roughly?! Thanks

[@mohammedshaji9785]

After aging maintenance is highly difficult......

How do you remove another side screw ?

Hi
I'm following the instructions but having trouble taking off the diaphragm can you tell me how to remove this?

[@hectorpascale1013]

Sorry Merc Man for posting a competitor video ;)
th-cam.com/video/CrjqcbLl1EI/w-d-xo.html @14:00 Minutes, I think it helps

[@kashaunkinloch-williams4584]

do you know where the GLK350 is located

[@castrolgtx5064]

How long did the whole repair take?

[@SDav21]

Is this engine the same as in the W203 C220 cdi with the 5 speed auto? Because those seem bulletproof. Also, what would cause the interior lights to dim when accelerating in a car with the OM642 V6 diesel?

[@mercmantips]

No it is a different engine. The w203 c220 cdis are the old straight 4 cylinder diesel engine and yes they are bulletproof compared to the om651, the dimming lights i have never come across

[@SDav21]

@@mercmantips Okay. Thank you for the response. My dad has a 2004 C220 Cdi facelift with 292,000 kms. It is a noisy engine and in my country the dpf was removed for local sale so smells quite diesel like. But it settles down nicely when cruising and is bulletproof. Strange on the OM651 that the ecu must be taken out when taking off the air box.
On my OM642 engine E Class I was thinking maybe voltage regulator or alternator causing the issue.

[@BigHumz155]

Check your alternator output and check battery

[@sericunda1]

Iv got 2009 clc . Why is mine on the other side

[@denisx9553]

Do you have any idea how long the original starters from Denso in 651 engine (made in Japan) usually last? I know there are multiple Toyota/Lexus models out there that have OEM Denso starters and they usually last for 150-200K miles. Thanks!

[@hectorpascale1013]

The Starter of my OM651 in a S212 is still ok @ 680.000km = 422.500 Miles. But Start/Stop mostly deactivated.
I don´t know if it is a DENSO, it is in there since fabrication. The one he changed was BOSCH.
Generator lasts only 250.000km = 155.00 miles, then the brushes are worn out, and the commutator as well.
Brushes/regulator can´t be changed anyway as far as i remember, at least not so easy as on a S210.
