Your videos are kind of like hanging out with a friend while you work - it makes the job more pleasant. Little things like not having to hunt around on my back to figure out how the bumper is attached to temove it for the first time are much appreciated. Thank you!
Your so welcome
Brother, I was ready to pull my hair out. No belt diagram on my van. You just saved my bacon. Nice open view of belt routing after you got the radiator out. Thanks again and God bless
Your welcome, this is why I remove the radiator so you can see exactly what I am doing 😊 glad I was able to help
I remember some UK technician called you an amateur... 😖 God bless you with your Sprinter knowledge Serj. Vashe zdoróvje !
Wow Thank you so much God Bless You To buddy!!!
Well with you're detailed video I'm going to proceed with my water pump R&R. Huge project, but my Sprinter is also an RV - worth the time and investment. Thanks for making the video.
Great good luck
Good work Serge. Taking all that off the front so we can watch you work is really nice of you.
+OutWestBound your welcome my friends, it’s also much easier to work like that, replacing my high pressure fuel pump I just moved everything back by using 4 inch blocks and did not need to remove anything
I just picked up a used sprinter with the issue of no heat inside. I heard they had heating issues so I’m changing thermostat. Well in trying to pull it broke the plastic tee of the fuel line off the pump and to two other points. I dove into taking the front apart, eventually removing fuel pump just to get to that crappy plastic fuel line. Your videos have helped me get to all theses removals! I may just replace all that I can since I have it all accessible. Thanks!
Thank you for this video and thereby saving myself from my own diy dreams. I'll have to pay somebody to do this.
Lol your welcome
After using a bunch of STop-Leaks and having no NO success, I have realized that I have a leaking water pump. So glad you make a video how to change it out !!!
Glad you liked it
I don't like the music because it's to abrupt, to loud and distracting.
I love your voice, it's calm and encouraging. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Your welcome, music is a tough one, it’s hard to get good non copyrighted music, but I am trying to make mere cinematic viewing experience and for that music is important and the type of music, but this will be a learning curve, this video, is not cinematic by any means, but was supposed to have good viewing angles to see what I am doing, technically I did not need to disassemble the front but I did it for my viewers, goal of my RUclips channel is to be the largest Sprinter source on RUclips, and expediting, but I would like to give my viewers a good cinematic experience so that it will not feel like a tutorial but it will feel like your watching a movie but learning something about the topic in the best way possible, in order to achieve this, I will put in even more time into video production then before and needed to buy more professional videographer gear and software and sound, from now on I started filming in 4k wide angle lens, Dolby Digital surround sound, and video stabilizer rig to shoot smooth B Roll, and I will put in more effort into shooting like a pro, this will result in Cinematic footage, larger File sizes and longer editing and rendering process, to make a 30 min 4k video it takes 1hr to render and even longer to post it to RUclips, but Editing takes me 30 mins to 3hrs to do, depending on what I am doing, you might wonder why am I telling you this, it’s only to let you know, youtube is something I enjoy doing and it’s my Day Job, everyday I make a video but I enjoy it, but In The beginning I really sucked at making videos and was nervous on camera lol Editing and music was not great ether sound also bad, but the video you seen I actually tried making it good, well I give it my all in every video, and this video is not up to my current standards, I have evolved this month but it will start being noticeable in one week, well I am Rambling again lol ok thanks for watching hope you subscribe if you haven’t already and please tell me how I am doing in every video, I don’t mind constructive criticism, I do need to improve in allot of areas thanks
Thank you so much. Your videos are the best,very helpful.
Just finishing up . . . replaced the idlers, tensioner pulley, water pump, thermostat, hoses and fan with clutch. This is on my '06 Dodge Sprinter 3500 (Mercedes) which has to work very hard as it is also Winnebago View RV. Thanks for the video.
Your so welcome, you can send me photo to zimaleta@gmail.com
the video is great ,thanks
Nice info for shade tree T1N work. Mercedes is new to me Thanks!!
Your welcome and if you need help just let me know
Thanks so much great video and very helpful
+Gary Fuller LGN Logistics your so welcome
Ayup Serg ! Love the videos man keep em comin . I love the old sprinters there better than the new ones ! just about to swap my water pump on my 2.7 316
Thanks for watching and thanks for taking your time to comment, I will continue making more Sprinter videos, my goal is to be the largest sprinter source on RUclips, I will be doing an engine swap this year, taking my old 2.7L engine and putting it into my 2012 Sprinter
Great job Doctor Zimaleta!!!👱🏼♂️🧰🔧🔧
Thank you!!!!
Lol thanks, Doctor ha 😂 I been called many things but that’s a first 👍
@@ZimaletaMotors
Well, I call you doctor 🧰🔧 as a nice complement, cuz I will use all the skills you sharing on your videos to keep running in a good condition my 2013 MB sprinter 🚐
Your vídeos are very helpful to me $$$👍🏽🔧🛠
Thank you!!!!!
Thank you!!
Your welcome
Again great job You Are number One
+Maciej Kozlowski thanks so much, and thanks for watching, let me know if you need help
brilliant video, I'm from the other side of the Atlantic in a country called wales. I've been up all night trying to get an idea of the best way to approach this as I'm planning on replacing my water pump today. I've been on spanners most of my life but your video has really helped me have a good idea of what's involved and the rough timescale and the room ill need for the removed parts before I even get to the pump.
and by the way, I enjoyed the music : ) keep up the good work!! P.S.. its nice to see the child having a interest in what your doing. : )
Wow that is a very nice comment, thanks so much for taking your time to write something nice, by the way I never meet anyone from Wales 🏴 before, sounds like a beautiful country, one day I hope to travel the world and Wales will be on top of my list, lol what a small world with RUclips videos, it’s amazing how many counties speak or understand English Language. I am so glad I was able to help with my videos, my goal is to have the biggest source of Sprinter videos on RUclips. So far I am doing this almost 3 years, over time I am becoming better at doing my videos. There’s still room for improvement, BTW I hope you subscribe and let me know if I can help you more
thanks for taking the time to set up your camera and help others to get there vehicles fixed!!
ye wales is a small nation but a beautiful one at that. : )
your doing great, keep up the good work and people will watch when they need to
Thanks so much, I am really glad you like this particular video because I did the voice over without looking at the video, but all from memory and then I had to match sound to clips and put music where I did not have sound, but at the time I did not have professional vice over equipment for my computer, I just bought some recently, it’s the actual gear that professional voice over artist use, so I am hopping to record future video with my Sony video camera 📹 and then add sound after the fact in my home studio, but with this clip I used my Sony camera and an iPhone for the sound, and iPhone is great for voice over, if you can actually see the video while recording sound, I really care for the quality of content I put out for my viewers and I don’t mind taking extra steps to do a quality job, I hope in the near future I can produce real high quality videos
I appreciate you sharing this stuff :) the tools for working the pulley is good advice etc .
I'd really like to see how to change the thermostat with these rigs , I've got a mb100 d but it's still quite similar to the sprinter !
There's not many people showing how to work on these older diesel Mercedes , there's guys doing the sedans but vans , not so much :) it's a Neish you can work with to build your RUclips channel :)
Thanks for sharing , you've got my sub , cos I've already learned things :) .
Peace from Australia
Thanks for Subscribing, I like working on Sprinters and sharing my knowledge about them, yes not many make Sprinter videos, I am glad that I can take that place 😃
I wanted to say how much I appreciate you taking the time to make this. I noticed that you gave yourself a negative review regarding the "quality of your video" torwards the end and I completely disagree. I think you did a very good job.
The only suggestion that I would make would just be to shorten. I fast forwarded quite a bit.
Youre very knowledgable and thourough and I thank you.
Thanks for taking your time to say something nice to me, I think you right, I need to work on Making videos shorter, and staying on point, I care about my viewers and making quality videos, youtube is my life, I enjoy helping people, I also understand time is important, I will try to become better, I do this everyday, so I am confident this will come sooner then later, I think it’s impossible not to get better if you do it everyday, Thanks for watching and thanks for giving me a positive review
Also note! You can slacken the tensioner with a 17 millimeter 12-point socket. A lot easier to find than the t-60 torx in my opinion. Also allows for the use of any breaker bar or ratchet since it's a socket and not a hand tool.
Great video
+Sang-Shao Tbone thanks so many cute
+Sang-Shao Tbone Lol don’t you love spell check hahaha my last message
I need to replace the cooler on my Sprinter. Never done it befor but I does not seem to hard. Do you got any tips or even a video on that? Thanks for sharing!
Good video... I'm about to tackle my 04 freightliner (sprinter) water pump... seams to be a weak link in them water pump bearings as they go fairly common... this vid helped with some items I was unsure of.
Thankyou
Ps.
Maybe keep your music in same volume with your voice over add In as the music was screaming compaired to your voice..
Yep you right, that voice over was recorded without watching the video and added after the fact, most voice overs I do right away, if I use my iPhone to record it, but this video I used my camcorder, and to do it on the computer takes longer due to the fact that I don’t have a studio and my car or van is my studio when I travel, I have laptop with me but I need to plug it in because battery is completely dead, but from now on the videos that need voice overs will be done with iPhone it just so much easier, but this video that you seen I am getting ready to just chop it up and I won’t have voice over just music, because clearly everything is visible and you can see exactly what you need, so I will just add music, unfortunately I made allot of videos with this format
Very helpful video, and nice tips like pre-warning of small sleeves dropping out before i might drop it without even knowing it. For us non-pro mechanics, thanks for not cutting out all of the steps like many other vids. do. Agree with other comment, only imprvement i might request is fix the overbearing background music; perhaps at least mix in music at much lower level than voice. Have to lower volume for music, then miss some of your commentary when music stops.
Yep I understand, this is why I rarely use music, most videos I don’t use any
Very nice video Sergie thank you very much
+Mason Nesson your welcome my friend, was going to post it in the morning but was able to do it sooner
ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING What a wonderful treat this was after a long day at work !
Thanks Sergie
+Mason Nesson Lol thanks my friend, I am happy to know my video was a treat, because more videos are about to come, I just uploaded 12 new videos and they will be posted 1 per day maybe 2 per day but spaced out, this is all the work I have done to the sprinter that was not starting, plus I have more videos to Edit and still lots of work with videos, I am fortunate to make some new friends at the Verizon store, they have crazy speed Internet so it took under 1hr to upload 12 videos :))) for that because videos took longer to make, and uploading just one video takes full night to upload, that’s with my computer, but with my iPhone and Verizon Beyond Unlimited plan I can upload still reasonable speed like 30 mins to 1hr per video, Mason thanks for watching and your comments always make my day
ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING Wow that’s really good and I appreciate your efforts and putting in the time to make such wonderful videos !
I am going to buy more beer 🍻 to go with your new videos and go to my den in my basement to watch all your videos after work while enjoying a beer or two !!! That makes me happy and ready for tomorrow’s another long work day !
Sergie , you are a good man and you are most welcome 🙏!
Keep them coming .
+Mason Nesson 🍺 for me and 🍻 for you hehe, I would like some dry calimary or dry fish with bear and sit back and relax and watch some videos with you my good friend :)))
Also, I think I found a good mechanic today after 6 years of searching in NYC. It is just so hard and dangerous to do a lot of jobs parked in the busy streets especially since I am not an expert. The new mechanic wants to install a switch so I can directly turn on a cooling fan near the engine. He says there is the big fan in front of the radiator of course, but he says there is also a smaller fan that should turn on when things heat up. Is that true? I have never noticed a second fan.
Thanks so much for your responses!
Yes that’s true, the main fan is mechanical fan with a clutch system, it works when engine is spinning but the fans mounted outside the radiator come on electronically, you should hear them come on but maybe they don’t for you, so worth a look, just make sure to unplug a relay that causes that fan to come on if you do it directly, I did that in my Audi when I was 18 and all my wires burned under dash
Do you use the same pulley for both idler pulleys?
Hi I know it's an old video but I have a question ❓ do you have to remove the pin from the belt tensioner right?
Do you have a video for replacing the timing chain tensioner and guides??
Not yet but I will
Great video, thank you for taking the time to set up the camera and show us step by step with great angles. Approximately how much time would you estimate this will take someone without a ton of mechanical experience?
About 6hrs
I’m my case, being the optimist that I am, I have found that if I allow about twice as much time as I think it will take that’s going to be pretty close. That is, without complications. Once a bolt breaks, or a head or threads strip, or you notice something else that is broken or worn out, and should be replaced while it’s apart, these unexpected things are unpredictable. So, just to cover the unknown you should allow yourself a window of 3-4 times the amount of time you originally thought it would take. Then, if it only takes 1.5 or 2 times your original estimate, you’ll be happy!
Yep or use All Data to get exact time
Did you notice the brand of original pump? Is it a meyle pump? I want to buy a pump to keep as a spare and the MB pump is over 200 dollars.The meyle is 110 .Thanks for the video.Well done.
don't use music,,,its so loud your videos are excellent with out
Thanks I won’t use music 😊
Hey Zimaleta. I’m back in your channel as i have a coolant leak when my engine gets warmed up. It looks like it’s from the left side of the water pump. I believe I still have good compression in the pump itself. After seeing your video, I think I’m dealing with a hose failure. I wasn’t super clear on what you did with the gasket seal. Did you place a glue goo over the gasket upon sealing?
Yes I used RTV sealant over a new gasket, probably over kill, but it makes me feel better that I did that
I’m seeing some $50 dollar water pumps on ebay. And some inexpensive hose options. I agree with you, if we are going in past the radiators, might as well spend a bit more and update the pulleys, serpentine belt, water pump and gasket, water pump hose.. I may even consider doing my alternator as I hear a loud squeak upon turning the engine off. I was told it was the alternator clutch. Can you confirm?
Thank's a lot SERGE, today I'm stuck with the same problem on my CDI-311 Van
It's going to be pretty helpful to watch your video.
I'll need also to know where the thermostat is being placed so i can replace it
Would you know also where I can get the technical manual for this type of vehicle ?
You can find technical manual on Sprinter forum, I know where thermostat it’s on the right side of the engine in top in the corner close to radiator
Thank you so much SERGE ;)
Would you advise me a Good Forum for me to check ?
Your welcome, try this one sprinter-source.com
What is this wire that comes down at 3:07?? On my van I can’t find what it connects to. Any help much appreciated
informative vid. well done. but please stop using really bad music. I have the patience to watch without music.
Thanks for watching I will try to use less music
If using music at all, try to keep its volume lower as Your speech. Apart from that, Your'e welcome!
Thanks for advice, I actually will use less music, most of my videos now don’t have music
The music will run anyone away from a good video why the fuck do people do that. People are looking for help mostly not entertainment
When changing the water pump . Do I disconnect the battery before starting. Thank you.
No need to discount the battery, it’s a different system, but disconnect it for good measure, you might be disconnecting other wires and sensors, which will add codes and cause problems if you don’t disconnect battery
Hay brother I have a 06 Freightliner sprinter 2500 no oil in the coolant but keeps over flowing not over heating but always overflowing into a coolant bottle I put on the overflow hose. Van runs great but I don’t know what is making this problem happen and it’s getting annoying any help would be appreciated thank you and Merry Christmas
Your Oil Collet seal is bad, so that’s where this is happening lol, if I am right consider donating to my Sprinter help mission 😊

Anytime
I very much enjoy your series. I have a Dodge 2006 Sprinter 2500. I bought the Sprinter new and it has always run at 180F. Slowly over a couple of months the Sprinter has been running warmer. Going up the mountain, I had to pull over, the radiator plastic top cracked and the engine was approaching 250. After replacing the radiator, the Sprinter would still slowly work its way to 210 running on the highway at ~70mph but at idle would not go over 190. I removed the thermostat and nothing changed. My question is, could an old serpentine or possibly old tensioner be responsible?
Thanks 😊, to answer your question NO, but old water pump can effect it, I would say get a summer thermostat but removing it would do the trick, also replacing your fan would help, the clutch probably is bad on it maybe getting a new one would help
Did you notice. The new pulley you put on at the very last of the video. The pulley that goes on the oil filter housing... the old pulley is smooth and the new one is grooved... also I can do this water pump with taking everything out..
Yes I noticed that was the idea, the pulley that’s smooth should have been Graved
ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING Will replacing the smooth pulley for the grooved one have any impact on performace or belt wear? I went to the autopart store today and couldn't find that smooth pulley. I was having issues with all 3 idler pulleys and belt was about to get off track. Do you have any idea why my power steering fluid ran out? Not sure if that was the stuff that had leaked on the hoses?
There no difference in performance or any issues to the belt. I have seen much more sprinters have the smooth pulley then the grooved one... I couldn't find an answer to why auto parts store sell them. Maybe in Europe have different design engines..you can use the lower idler puller for both as it's grooved... as far as your leak. It's either leaking at the hoses or the steering rack. Double check all the hoses and have a look at the rack. The rack itself has hard lines on it. Sometimes those lines rust and they start leaking oil...
Yes you can put a Grooved for a smooth one on top, but you need a smooth one for tensioner, do not used a grooved one there, and power steering fluid leak you will just need to look for the leak I am not sure where it’s leaking
Good one
I had a little conversation going with you the other day about thermostats, but I can't seem to find it.
Here is a question - - I thought my 2006 motor was overheating because when in hot summer traffic the thermostat has been rising a little bit and making me very nervous. So, I have been turning on the dashboard heat to cool the engine and it seems to work. Tonight I did a little test and just let the engine run but the thermostat never went up into a dangerous zone, it just went up a little bit. Do you think it is normal for the thermostat to rise when the weather is almost 90 degrees and I am stuck in traffic, or should I be worried?
It’s a good question it all depends on the temperature that it goes to, what is yours going to? Make sure it never goes into the Red, but going higher then the center is normal, especially in hot wether and going up hills, I did not know that this is an important topic, I had a video on this and I think I deleted it, but now I will make a new video, and explain clearly what operating temperature is normal and where the thermostat is, thanks for asking this questions because i can help more people with a video like that
What do you mean by "thermostat never went up" ? Do you mean the water temperature gage?
Thermostat is completely something else. It can't be observed visually.
where are you ordering parts, and do you have part #'s
I order parts online but Amazon is my go to, I have a website with where I get parts just click Sprinter Parts and I have a list of Amazon parts you can compare prices there www.zimaleta.com
My water pump is different. And I have a big aluminum tube in my way to get a bolt out. How do you get the aluminum tube past the edge of the driver's side head?
I will make a video to show you how to do it, I have a 3.0L sprinter
@@ZimaletaMotors have you made the video with the 3.0 yet?
Did you go with OEM WATERPUMP? Or other?
This is aftermarket but my OEM is still good, just the seal was bad on it
Also, at about 19:30 you replace the tension pulley. Is there a piston attached that creates the tension? Does that piston need to get replaced too?
+Wallace Murray no tensioner is one pice and a pulley is just a normal pulley, if you replacing the pulley it’s just one torques Bolt, and 2 number 13 or E10 bolts holding tensioner in place, as you can also see, to get the the bolts I First locks the tensioner in place by inserting a small screw driver but a nail would work better, that allowed me to get to the 2nd Bolt, I will make one more video in 12 days I will upload it, it will be just go pro video doing pulleys and tensioner, plus just 1 video dedicated to Water Pump, because there’s allot going on and I got it all with a GoPro, but with this video I wanted to show everything I did without taking 9hrs to do it
The tension comes from a very thick and short coil spring in the body of the tensioner.
Yep
at 4:40 you say "use a pan to catch it". What are you catching in the pan? Coolant fluid from the radiator?
+Wallace Murray yes Lol plus keep in mind not all words will match I recorded sound with my iPhone without seeing the video just doing it from memory, so I needed to place words as close as I can to actually what was going on and put music where there was no words :)))
thanks
+Wallace Murray your welcome, so happy to have you on my channel sir :) thanks for watching, if you have questions let me know and if you can please hit that like hehe it helps my videos be more popular:)))
Hi. My Freightliner 2002 2500 Has oil in the coolant resevour and I but it Idles and runs well in limp mode, I was wondering if you might know what that could be? I was leaning towards the water pump.
I am aware of this problem, but never had it on my Sprinter, my guess is, Oil in Radiator fluid might be corroded radiator and transmission oil that is being cooled by radiator is getting passed to radiator somehow, this is just an educated guess, it also might be a bad seal somewhere, bad head gasket, or oil cooler, but it also might be more serious lol if this doesn’t sound serious, I hope this helps you, if you find what it is that’s causing this let me know
thanks for the quick response, your videos are very useful! I thought head gasket at first but it runs and sound pretty good, so fingers crossed hopefully its not that or a cracked head. Do you know what seals I should check? Should I check the water pump? Im in Phx AZ if you know any reliable response. I just purchased the vehicle but need to get it on the road for work.
Your welcome, unfortunately I don’t know anyone that understands sprinters in AZ, but I just don’t see how water pump would do it, unless your losing water, but you got oil, I recommend change radiator, and drain all fluid and start fresh, see if that does it, also this might be oil cooler seal, it’s easier to change, so check that out first
Oil cooler seal !! Thx
Your welcome
Yea, they sell the 50/50 but the ideal ratio is actually 70%. 50% will not stop corrosion
+Joe Moto wow that’s interesting
I still don’t understand how you used a screwdriver lock the pulley behind the fan to remove the fan bolt. Can you be more specific please?
hi did you get the water pump from ebay or what?
I got it from Amazon, I have links to Sprinter parts on Amazon trough my website
Break the water pump pulley bolts loose before you take the belt off
Smart idea
@@ZimaletaMotors thanks

Hello guys welcome back and thanks for watching, this video took 2 days to produce, see if you notice the voice over, i did it from memory while I was in Michigan, recorded a Vlog and put it on this video, original video was over 9hrs long, but I trim it down to under 30 mins, normally I don’t use music but in this video I did because I had to cut my sound video up to match sound which was allot of work
ZIMALETA HOW TO SHOW & UNBOXING Thank you so much for posting and sharing this video Serge
+Mason Nesson your so welcome, I enjoy posting new videos, I actually took the time and watch some season 1 videos I made and I thought they would be really bad, but you know there ok, I know I did try when making them, I know I can do better now, but we live and learn I guess, and now I have more experience doing videos
Appreciate video, and explanation of why music. It was a bit loud, not great, but now I know why it was there.
+N Martin hehe yes music being Loud not great so I have learned from that, so now I don’t use much music I try doing voice over instead, but I will use music in some time lapses , thanks for watching
more music!!!
Hey what is the exact part # of the two last pulley you put on ?
I have it on my website look up Sprinter parts on www.zimaleta.com I made it easy to find parts you need
Ahh ok I see it’s nothing special it’s same pulleys just groves or not but 4 cylinder might be different
Ok sounds good, I never had problems from buying wrong pulley before
Your welcome
Good vid..music is painful
I like your videos and can follow well. I would ask to leave off the music. It is louder than your voice. I have hearing issues and have to constantly adjust the volume. Thank you.
Thanks I will take your advice, music can be distracting
At 9:09 you first turn the tensioner pulley clockwise; whilst you know it has to be turned (in order to slack the tension belt) anti-clockwise; why did you 1st turned it clockwise; a misstake??
Lol 😆 credits to you for noticing but I don’t know lol
Hey Serge,What brand of pump do you use?I Purchased a MEYLE from Germany when it arrived it say made it Communist China .(PRC)
I don’t know my brand, but most likely it’s from China, but I payed like $100 bucks for it
@@ZimaletaMotors Thank You, Merry Christmas
почему не показал где стоит термостат, и менял ли его. там тоже течь бывает.
Нет меняли мы помпу и натяжитель, но не термостат, о нем и речи небыло
you didnt go into the gasket for the water pump it came with a paper one and a metal one, I bought the wrong one first and it had a rubber one and a paper one .
I see
I bet the Mercedes mechanic said it takes 12 liters not 12 gallons, cuz 12 liters is about 3 gallons
Your probably right
Let me know what you LIKE The video guys with a 👍 and thanks for watching, see you next time, and as always let me know if you need any help, I am here to help you always 👍

The reason you had a gasket leak is because you didn't clean the mating surface on the engine block.
alot of steps out of order, and you dont need to remove all that stuff for this job. i guess this will help some people though.
no music please
Good video but the music gotta go
Your right, I am using music much less now
Also I’m not a fan of the music . The videos are great without any fancy stuff !
I'm doing a belt and alternator and a tensioner on one of these things but it's a motorhome God forgive me
Good luck
Mercedes couldn't figure out a better place to put the pump? That's ridiculous.
Lol, you think this is bad, lol check out the new model
@@ZimaletaMotors You are telling me that not only did they not learn from their previous mistake, they made it worse? That sounds like Mercedes. Brag about how well engineered their products are and deliver stupidity. My van has been a money pit.
Yes that’s exactly what I’m telling you and not only that they did not learn from their past mistakes and actually made it worse but the added some systems, That fail every single year and will cost you more than the engine cost when they do feel how crazy is that
@@ZimaletaMotors Maybe the Ford Transit is designed better. I don't know. I do know that I am not a satisfied Mercedes customer.
Lol, To be honest all vans are designed to break so that you could bring it in for service and they could make lots more money and you that’s how dealers make their money service
Bloody music??? Oh excuse me... 'that 'orrible noise'. And so LOUD!! Why?? Though your video did illustrate quite how much is involved in replacing a Sprinter coolant pump. Not a quick job, and for that - thank you. And Best Wishes from England too. PS: I see you have a budding apprentice. My own son has never shown the slightest interest in spannering. :-(
Two things, try to sync you video with the audio. Secondly, “like” is not really a useful word in many context. Like you could like train yourself to like not use like so much, like you know what I mean. Like it should like be easy.
stop with the music. Please.
12 gallon of water? Mercedes is german and I think they said 12 litres. It's time to get rid of imperials since this allready wracked landers on mars...
Lol yep
Freaky music
The music SUCKS!!!
What music do you like
