Great video. I did not have that vacuum unit so I simply drained the radiator and engine block. I then used a pressure system unit to create vacuum and refill the coolant. In this video I learned that while pulling vacuum its a good idea to open that valve and fill up the coolant refill hose so theres no air in in. Brilliant. I wasnt able to track down a pressure cap so I made one using a new coolant reservoir cap and drilled a hole in it to expoxy in a male quick connect.
Video looks like it's a Mercedes mechanics training video so they would have all this equipment. Home mechanic would just drain the radiator and engine block then use the pressure attachment on the coolant reservoir. I bought a pressure unit like in this video for $20, came with the quick connect fitting so I just bought another coolant reservoir cap and drilled a hole in it to epoxy in a male quick connect. Worked perfectly.
Typical of all modern car confusing so called progress in automotive innovation... the technician in this case, came across as a confusing disaster. I’ve just changed the thermostat on a. C200 Mercedes... made of cheap plastic ... placed in a ridiculous part of the motor, where you have to dismantle half the engine to get to it...then you tell me I have to get my system bled with all this sophisticated equipment or take it to Mercedes Mum where you empty my wallet.. sorry guys you have gone backwards.. but I can understand why.. to rip us off... I could go on and on.... but no one listens cause we are just to you peasants...!!! Shame shame shame...!
@@garrybaraldi1462 Nonsense. The thermostat is right in the front held on by 2 bolts. And most vehicles these days require a vacuum unit to properly fill the coolant system without air bubbles in it. In this video the only thing they did differently than home mechanics is use thay vacuum machine to suck out all the coolant, most people simply drain the radiator from the drain and engine block from the drain bolt. Can buy a coolant pressure unit anywhere from $35-$250 depending on the unit. I bought the Steelman 60402 replacement pressure pump for $20.99 then made my own coolant reservoir pressure cap from a new reservoir cap with a hole drilled in it to epoxy in a male quick connect. Can use that pressure pump on any vehicle and just have to make a pressure cap.
@@timb7775 actually hes right. The thermostat on that engine which i assume is the m270 4 cylinder petrol turbo, is located under the intake manifold which on a c class with rwd is not as bad to remove but on an a class with fwd with a transverse engine where the intake i located in the rear of the engine bay it will take alot of time to replace it.

Sure we all got equipment like this really.
🤣🤣🤣

I am new here i like to know the type of vacumm is using to doing this process
Thank you
Can we use one of the A/C vacumm with low CFM
sure no problem, soo easy..
That will be 3,678£, have a nice day
The tools link on how to get them thanks
Tool?
sufficient explanation.
What a load of bollox
hahaha i know right

its not really tho is it. A very efficient way for mechanics to change coolant or do repairs on the system without the pain of bleeding the system.
Nice video well done for the ppl saying this that well hers the video do it your self lol
realy😂😂 im staying in rural areas whre we cant afford to change tyres for the car 😂😂😂
Just need a good air lift kit like 200$
I love my airlift tool/kit. I always flush system once or twice with distilled water, prior to final filling, especially with older cars.
Dang
this is ridiculous
Absolutely. If I had an extra $5,000.00 to throw away for a cooling system vacuum machine I’d not be searching for how to videos. lol
xD
