I wish people would learn to work on these cars themselves. I’m a 4 time MB owner, 99 c230 sport with a super charger, 2007 c230 sport. 2011 e350. 2013 GL550 with an exhaust mod and tune. They are not that hard to work on. They just need proper care. Ships usually charge outrageous prices. Just blows my mind how easy some of the work is. Dealer wanted 500+ to replace a serpentine belt and tensioner pulley and 2 idlers on a car I did the job in 25 mins start to finish and paid about 60$ in parts. I like to call the dealer after I do a job just to see how much I saved lol. I’m about to do this T case job for a friend who was quoted 4k from one shop and 1200 at another. I’ll be making 800$ and the parts are not that expensive. Just crazy. Y’all are awesome for documenting this. MB is a nice car. People dawg them and give them a bad name but there is no comparison.

If you maintain them properly they last and serve you well. We think they are reliable vehicles. Thanks for your support.
Thanks for the post. Helpful
Great video. Do you have Mercedes part number for the chain you have put?. I got 2014 GL450 and am thinking of doing this.
A heck of effort of taking the driving shaft off and putting together a nice video. Thank you!
Thanks 👍
Keep up the good work, 😊😊 great video
Thank you! Will do!
around how many miles did this start to happen?
We are seeing worn out chain on some as early as 125000 miles,
@pmxmotorsportllc6080 what are the symptoms?
Great job
What would I expect to pay for this service?
Can you tell me wear you guys located?
It's on a lift right? So why only a foot off the ground?
Our lift cable snapped that morning, reason why we had to work just a foot of the ground
mine lasted 275kkm,replaced it myself
