It would be helpful to discuss the order in which to bleed, farthest to nearest to the master cylinder/fluid reservoir. Also, you should state the SBC disclaimer up front and that it requires a special diagnostic tool to use on the SBC when performing the bleeding with that system.
?? what do you mean can you please elaborate. i just changed my brakes on my 09 CLK350 and im about to perform a brake bleed. I dont believe i have SBS but i could be wrong, do i need to worry about something following my brake bleed?
I agree about the SBS. Particularly as it is basically ignored as not truly important. Particularly as there is no mention where to go for an SBS system, no link, no tools offered??
Late to the party here, but will you guys EVER address flushing the ABS pump when advertising these bleeder tools (which are, I am sure, very good, I'm a fan :) ) ? On any car with ABS the ABS pump needs to be flushed as well. This can happen by activating it. Activation was easy on older cars (there would be two dedicated terminals on the pump to jump together which activated the pump), but on most recent cars, all brands, you need a smart enough scanner or dedicated software to activate it via OBD. That, or you'll have all your system flushed fresh, and old liquid in your ABS pump, which will mix with the rest the first time your ABS activates. Or, if you use the "Flush fluid, go driving, activate the ABS on a slippery surface, flush again" system - please be clear about it ?
Hello, the process will still remain the same! We also have a video on the motive bleeder which shows you how to do a pressurized flush as well: ruclips.net/video/JWJIYeourjY/видео.html
@@fcpeuro Thank you for your answer. I will try this procedure soon. I don't need any diagnose tool or computer to brake fluid replacement and I like it. Greetings from Poland. 🇵🇱
Great video brother. Really informative. I just purchased a 2014 G-Wagon G63 with 13K miles and a message for SERVICE B required is on, so I need to do this process. Can you advise if it is the same as you did? Thanks a lot from your Brazilian brother. Cheers
Thanks!! Great video. THis is so much easier than oil change wow. Only issue though my Motive Bleeder is defective and was leaking in between the gold nuts. So, wasted so much fluid and had to push the pedal to make it work. Will be calling them for a replacement. Otherwise, job well done and now my brakes work again. :)
Your bleeder wasn't defective. You have to use teflon tape to seal the threads. That's why the instructions spell out the method for testing the system dry.
I did the job but now I need to get an expensive tool to bleed the ABS pump because car won’t stop. Mercedes years 2000+ require this. Don’t change your brakes yourself unless you have this tool.
im so confused by this comment. can you please elaborate while i do more research and find out what youre talking about because i just changed my brakes and im about to bleed... cheers
First off all the old dirty fluid was not completely taken out on that last side it was still coming out all dark and only way to tell is by actually dumping the bottle and seeing clear fluid, also like jetta said it would be helpful to mention the bleeding pattern or order as many people watched this so that they could find out how to do it but after the comment on that first one i think he was going on a Z pattern

why this gentleman refuses to answer questions regarding sbc? I have landed here looking for the same answer
Did you disable the ABS first? If so, did you use a scanner or Mercedes Star?
Precise educational video. The tools are thought provoking.
Will this procedure work for a car equipped with the SBC system?
I like how clearly you explained yourself in this video. Do you have a link to the diy on the sensotronic brake system? I have a 2003 E500
your video really helped me
Thanks for thinking s! Can you please make a tut for the water pump.
Great video, really good info, so helpful.
Glad you liked it!
@@fcpeuro what about for w211 e500 2003 same process?
Hi, which adapter model did you use, the 1107 or 1108? Thank you.
Good video.

Thank you for watching!
Question I have 2011 S550 with distronic it is the same procedure? Or I need another special tools?
Good stuff! Thanks for the video!
Great video. I own 2006 W211 LIFT without SBC. Can I use the procedure of brake fluid replacement you've presented on the video?

Hi, Luiz! You are correct, part of Service B is replacing/flushing the brake fluid.
Thanks!! Great video. THis is so much easier than oil change wow. Only issue though my Motive Bleeder is defective and was leaking in between the gold nuts.

No need to bleed the ABS after?
How would you do it with the senseotranic system
I would like to know which cars have SBS also. However, we can Google, check wikipedia, or just call a dealership.
Will this brake bleeder system work with 2010 Mercedes GL 450???? Thanks Todd
Yes sir.
Do you really have to flush the fluid or you can simply refill the tank?
Just refilling the tank will not replace all the fluid in the braking system.
Do you have to remove the mesh filter when connecting the power bleeder to the reservoir?
You do not!
Which models require LV fluid?

what tool send link
Great video
Is the 15 to 20 psi the corect pressure?
Thanks for the video guys, can I assume this process will work the same on a 2015 (W205) C300?
You're welcome, Kevin. Yes, it would be a similar process.
Kevin, how did it go? I have same year make model. Thanks
Work on a cla45?
Why first you didn’t start from the rear right site the farther weell

My CLK has mesh on the reservoir opening...
yup! its there to keep debri from getting past there and into the system
@@fcpeuro Debris and an extraction pump ;)
@@SavedbyHim I'm pretty sure you can just remove the mesh filter.
question i have a 2013 c300 how do i knw if i have a "sensatronic brake system? or can i do this same procedure as the video
None of the C class vehicles were equipped with SBC
@@fcpeuro the GLK SUV didn't come with the SBC either ?

@@fcpeuro any special tools for ABS pump as mentioned above or does it properly bleed as you showed on the video?
Man you are dressed so nice.....I don't want your shirt to get dirty
don't it should be 109 ? not 100
How much fluid would I need to flush my W204 brakes?
Thanks!
Hi Ivan, about 2 quarts should do it!
@@fcpeuro Awesome thanks! And the DOT 4 TYP 200 Brake Fluid you guys sell should be sufficient?
Thanks!
@@ivanvujadinovic9905 You're welcome! Yep, the TYP 200 will work great.
