Mercedes w140 changing cam oil tube and valve cover gasket 1995 s500 tapping noise fixed

- My beloved w140 has been sitting for the last few months waiting for me to order in the parts to fix the tapping noise. Thanks to my subscribers, I was able to narrow it down to a cam oil tube. I could tell the sound was coming from the left (driver's side), so I decided to approach it with cost in mind, and only fix what what necessary. Dont worry there will be a video soon showing how to completely change our every stock plastic tube, along with timing chain guides.

You helped me a lot with my w140 1997 s500💯✅
Great video, I have the same tapping noise from my 98 S500. Thanks a lot.
Hey man your a life saver I couldn't figure it out and didnt wanna spend shit ton money as benz service is expensive asf thanks alot 🖤 brother
So glad I found your channel. Thanks for the great content! 94 W140 S500
Thank you
The repair manual indicates 10 - 12NM. I did 10NM, hand no problems what so ever. Grate content!
Thank you so much for the fill in. I'm sure I'm close with what I did and happy with results.
Thank you for being on TH-cam💯
Helpful information ✅
Really good explanation ✅
Really well done researches ✅
Thank you. Let me know if I can help out in the future.
@@petescarport will do👍🏼 just ordered oil cam tubes, will do the same what you did, even the same side, I was just looking at the valve cover gasket as well, but don’t know exactly how they call it - left side or the right side? That’s the side that you did🤷🏼♂️
@@lawrenceK90s so that can be confusing. It’s based on when your sitting in car so drivers side is left side. Hope this helps.
@@petescarport thank you👍🏼I work on semi trucks, we use only driver or passanger side😁
Great channel! Thanks for all the awesome information
Thank you
Dude u r the man!!!! 😂😂 though i had a bad motor thanks a million!!
Thanks. Let me know if you need any help
Great Video!
Go ahead and order the timing chain guides when you order the rest of the aluminum oil tubes I sent you the part#s on last video, you will need to replace it because you need to remove it for first oil tube.
Thank you for your video! Very helpfull
Great. Glad it helped
Good video 🤙🏿
Just had mines changed today... 97 S 420.
Good job! Mine kept ticking for almost 5mins. after replacing my tube. Had a holy Christ moment until it finally cleared up. Check eBay, there were a few cats there selling used metal sets, not too long ago... I regret not picking up a set.
Just grabbed a set from Ebay actually with new o-rings. Glad I got them at a fair price too!
Same on mine me and my brother said let's just order another set but your correct next time I start car noise was gone.
Yo Manny thanks again. I had been looking on ebay and just wasn't ready to drop $200-300 at the time. Have too many projects right now but wanted to get the w140 back on road asap.
Any idea where to get the fuel injector “cups” or
“Inserts”. The part the injector actually goes in to ?
nice to meet you. I also have a W140 S500 of the same year. There is a clicking sound from the engine. Your video was very helpful. Could this issue cause white exhaust?
How to replace timing chain tension on this car
Is it usual for the internals to be orange?
Timing chain guides part # from dealer
W140
Part# 119 052 09 16
Part# 119 050 03 16
It's cheap at the dealership.
Thank you once again. I would have done them but plan to change out the tubes at same time and wanted to start driving car. I think I will order them on fcpeuro since they are factory ones and they offer lifetime warranty.
What if I’ve beend driving it for 1 k miles with this tapping noise? Did it caus edamage or it is ok? Planing to fix this week. The taping is the same as it was at the beginning, didn’t get any worse
Should be fine. I’ve seen people go 20k miles with a loud tap and than change out the tubes and be ok. Don’t recommend going anymore but you should be totally fine
Hey Pete I’ve been holding off on this project on my 94 s600. It’s a little more rare as you know but are the “oilers” and maybe other components the same? I’m just doing my best to not be the “cat” stuck up the tree- thanks in advance
Did you notice the oil pressure before and after changing the oilers?
Unfortunately my sending unit went bad right before this. So I need to change that and make sure
Hey Pet, I have w140 s500 98, and it reach to 250k miles, it have the taping noise and my mechanic said it began to burn oil, do I change the engine or do I fix it? (Is it worth it to fix an 250k engine)?
Thanks
Yes fix it. Very cheap and you can easily get 300k or more miles
@@petescarport thanks sir
Absolutely. Please let me know if you need any help. Let's keep these cars going.
I went to go look at a white 95 s500 very clean and well kept . I noticed the tick right away . I backed off but after seeing your video it’s not too bad .
he’s asking 2800 very negotiable. Do you think it would be a good deal ? It has 204k miles .
Also after leaving it idle for a few minutes it kids sounded like turned off or some what stalled is that normal. It happens quick .
So 204k is a lot for any car but a well maintained s500 can go for a very long time. If the ticking noise goes away that is normal but doesn’t mean the issue isn’t there. Mine would come and go and I think that’s due to oil covering the area that’s making noise.
The main things I would look at are suspension. Rear shocks are hydraulic unless changed out. New hydraulic shocks are very expensive. I would take it down some bumpy roads and then on the highway. I would also try and get it for closer to $2k if you feel comfortable with the car.
Also how is condition of interior and do the soft close doors work and locks work?
@@petescarport interior was 9/10 small rip on the drivers seat . Little stains on the floor .all the wood trim was perfect no cracks
It did have a check engine light on
I feel I definitely Could have bought it for 2k
@@MsXfusion check engine is usually fine. Mine has it for o2 sensor. At that age a lot of emissions stuff goes bad or needs cleaned like egr. If it has any other light be cautious. Could be a major repair or a simple broken wire.
How many total oiler tubes does the engine have if I replace al of them?
Pete’s carport
The s500 has 16. They sell them as a set as well
How to know which side the noise coming from
You can listen and should be able to hear it clearly. But most people just change out all the cam tubes on both sides to get rid of future issues
How many hrs does it take to do one side ?
Shouldn’t take more than 3hrs taking your time. I’m sure a shop could do it in 1hr
When can we do mines pete's please let me know how much
Where you at? Also do you have a tap now?
@@petescarport I'm in Orlando and yes
Let's do it. I won't change much but would need you to get parts and I can do it pretty quick depending on how many need to be done or if you want to do them all plus timing guides
@@petescarport ok great Pete thanks so much your channel is amazing I will contact you directly
How much for the 420sel
It's going to be on auction but I would sell it now for $3500
And now you have to wash the engine.... :-)
Oh yes. It's a mess.
