You're welcome, John. Glad it helped!

You're welcome! For wood support, you can use plywood or brace with 2x2's or 2x4's. Other viewers have recommended plywood in the comments.

Good advice, thank you!

Thank you, that's a honor from you! We love your videos.

Thank you very much!! We appreciate your kind words and hope everything went well with your flush!

You may need to replace the mirror assembly.

This couch top was removed with screws from the bottom. Some couches, you will need to turn over to access the staples.

You're welcome. Sounds like it may be an issue with the drum. If the drum unit is ok, and the mirrors are clean, it could be the LED or light that is damaged or dirty.

@@fatherandsonfix Thank you. Appreciated it. The printer is relatively low page count... Couldn't figure it being something so protected as the led or mirrors. The "windows" are covered by a scissor contracting cover which do not move for cleaning. I attempted to blow it out with a duster can and will run a test Monday. But, one thing I hadn't swapped out is the fuser unit, which is where I pulled a double page draw from when this problem started. I have a spare old fuser so I'll swap that in, then, too. Thanks again... Very appreciated!

Yes, especially if it is temperature related.

@@fatherandsonfixdo you know what size the bolt for the sensor would be on the 06 cls 500?

If no spark

Hahaha, you know we probably could have invested more in the couch, but money was tight. You get what you pay for 🤣

@@fatherandsonfix I know🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻lol 👌🏼👌🏼

Thanks for your kind words, we appreciate it!

You're welcome! Thanks for your comment! We like your approach to research *before* the repair 👍🏼

Preventive maintenance, there's a filter inside, only way to replace the filter is to replace the reservoir. Some people say it quiets the pump, we didn't notice any major difference.

Awesome!!! You're welcome! We totally thought ours was just leaky toner at first too, what a difference the lenses cleaning makes.

No, you must keep it on for safe braking. SBC actually does a lot of amazing things beyond ABS to keep you safe such as dry-brake and preloading when you lift off the accelerator. There are at least two deer and many squirrels that are still around thanks to the SBC on our wagon! :)

Thanks for sharing your experience, this will help others to diagnose and fix.

There's a lot of different opinions on this ranging from every 2 years to 100,000 miles. We would say every 60,000 miles to be safe. It's also a good idea to replace it if you are replacing the pump.

@@fatherandsonfix on W210, 100.000 km, year1996 we changed the oil and went from the original 345.0 green to 236.3 yellow because it looked more dark yellow when dirty. Everything bled correctly. Immediately after the change, I felt a much stiffer power steering than before. I thought it was because of the slightly more viscous oil. I swapped it back with Fuchs 345.0 green and the steering wheel is still noticeably heavier. I am now thinking of replacing the canister filter. What is your opinion ?

@@joesaric1 the price of these are not too much and worth replacing it as part of troubleshooting. it's not a guarantee that it will fix it, but you can rule that part out.

@@fatherandsonfix I think the filter could be the cause, especially after the thicker oil that got stuck in the filter and the pump probably has a harder flow. In any case, I have already ordered a new one and will report the result

Thanks for watching, we appreciate your kind words!

You're welcome! That's a great tip, thanks for sharing :)

These steps generally apply to flushing the power steering reservoir on most vehicles. You should double-check part numbers and fluid specs for your CLK.

Yes you are right I noticed when I did mine and actually my mechanic told me mercedes steering fluid is not chf the green on they using.

Sure, you can write a script that would send the data to another program / app or you could use the pin outs and send the data that way. For example, you could have a signal sent to one or more pins based on the can message received. Lots of interesting possibilities there. For example, you could trigger a relay to turn on a set of foglights based on some can trigger instead of a hardwired switch. This board is basically an Arduino + can shield which makes it quite flexible.

Similar location, it is on the driver side of the bell housing just bellow heater hose. You may have to reach a little further on your model to get to it.

Thank you, this video was filmed on our wagon :) we used close to 2L. However, if you replace the filter before flushing, you might be able to use closer to 1L.

@fatherandsonfix thank you for your reply 👍🏼, I'll get the extra litre just in case lol

Yes, great tip, thanks for sharing. 🙂

Thank you, we really appreciate your kind words! 🙏The G500 and S500 are both amazing vehicles and the M113 is a great engine 🏎️

that's a tried and true method that also works if you don't have the diagonal cutters, a flat head and good old-fashioned adjustable pliers

thank you! Part number is 0279979548 always double-check that your model or year applies.

M112 is the v6 gas/petrol engine, M113 is the V8 engine.

Thanks for your tip which will help others with the E320 bluetec. If the three pins don't line up, you could try measuring to see if two of the pins will line up, then grind down one. However, it may best to look for another removal tool.

the pins on tool should be 72 deg

right on with that 72 deg . now how do i find the tool i need. i need too get my money back and get right tool...

@@michaelbrueckner3893 Yes 360/5 = 72. The tool we have is 360/3 = 120. We thought if you could shave the sides to get the 120 out to 144, but probably not. We've seen people weld their own tools before. There are also universal holders that adjust.

Intermittent and then engine cooling and having it work again are typical for the sensor being bad. If the connection is intermittent, heat could also cause the connection to go in and out. If you haven't replaced the sensor and are experiencing these symptoms, that's the first place to start. If you have replaced the sensor and the tab is not engaging, try some 100% silicone spray lightly to ease the plug on. Hard to tell without seeing whether the tab not being engaged means it is not fully seated, sometimes the plastic tabs get brittle and don't want to reseat fully.

@@fatherandsonfix well, tried fixing it, could not get to the sensor, and I don't have nor could afford to get jack stands to try to come at it from below, or to get a camera to find the sensor and see the work in the tight space. I did of course move around in the area trying to get to it, but didn't really mess with anything. But then, after I put everything back together, the car is now having trouble starting. But like previous symptoms, it seems to improve the more and longer the car runs. But if it sits for awhile, it has trouble cranking. The bad part is that this happened on my last day off this week, and when I didn't have the money to get it fixed. Also, not many around here are skilled or confident working on a European car that isn't a stealership. But at least it's driveable to a European mechanic about an hour away. Also, it's giving an error about the brakes before it turns over fully, which didn't happen yesterday when the trouble cranking started, which disappears and doesn't come back when the car is running. I just wanted to give an update. It always seems like I'm cursed when I try to do a seemingly simple repair to my cars. I always mess something up making the problem worse. So I'm not touching my car anymore. My car also has a problem with the passenger directional headlight being stuck to the right, the driver side passenger floor light isn't working, the rear dome light isn't working, the rear sunshade won't retract. Everything else I can live with except this sensor issue.

​@@fatherandsonfixis this process the same for V8 engines? I have an '04 e500 4matic. I'm having a good mechanic at a dealership do this. They specialize in Fords, but have worked on other cars, just not Mercedes. This seems like a simple for a good mechanic job, and I know the mechanic and owner, they're really good. I can't find any local mechanics who can work on my car quick enough and I need my car.

@@fatherandsonfix so the dealer fixed it and inspected the car for $250, but the question is, how much and how easy to fix the rear suspension? He said it's leaking oil.

@@fatherandsonfix and how much and how easy to fix a stuck directional headlight
