How to change fuel pump and fuel filter on Mercedes SLK230

- This video is on how to change the fuel pump and the fuel filter on a 1999 Mercedes SLK230. This video is also a good example of how dangerous it can get when working on the fuel system. I have a little accident and didn't get hurt badly but I could have been killed if things had gone just a little bit differently.

Thanks for the link, I downloaded the Mercedes workshop manual pdf a while back but it was all in German lol useless
I know Im asking randomly but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Chris Kellen Instablaster =)
@Case Leonard thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Case Leonard It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
Thanks for leaving the "human oops components" in your video. By leaving stuff like that in, you've saved some of us from the same path. Too many of these videos show perfect world, perfect install conditions that just doesn't happen when the average person goes to repair their car.
Clint,
I really appreciate your struggling a bit on this job. Because “Mr. Murphy” rides on my shoulder, I now understand the possible pitfalls on this project so now I can tackle this project without taking a gasoline shower. I’m sure I’ll get my share of bloody knuckles and I’ll use a few colorful words, but I won’t blow the car and me up!! Thanks! I’m buying your book.

Thanks Clint just inherited a 99' SLK and need to replace all the fluids and filters happy that your for making my day a little less complicated way easier than on a 997TT
I got to do this job tomorrow and glad I watched this video, respect mate for making it 👍🇬🇧
Be careful, all kidding aside if that light have fallen and broken in the gas I would be a goner. best not to have a non-led type light under there, I will not that again. good luck!
Very entertaining I have an slk320 thank you for the knowledge passed on!!🔥🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Clint, I just wanna take a moment to thank you for all the SLK videos you made so far. Great help 👍
Hi. Great video. I have a 2021 SLK that's run perfectly every year since I bought it used in 2004. Now it turns over without a hint of wanting to start. I suspect it's the fuel pump. I hadn't thought of the fuel filter also. It's also nice to know that they're both easy to reach. Thx again..
Correction-It's a 2001 SLK
And were you correct in your assumption? Cause I can think of a few things that might be.
Thanks for making my day a little less complicated 😊😊😊 gonna change the filter myself today 👍👍👍👍👍
Keep talking all you want I enjoy it and it is more information
Thank you sir for this video. I have an '89 300 SEL that needs the same work done. Looks like something I can do. I will admit your video had me cracking up when the fuel dumped. I'm glad you didn't get injured though.
Great video, I'm about to tackle my dad's slk230 fuel pump and filter. This was a very helpful video and I like you left the bloopers, shows people what can go wrong and be ready for it. Wish me luck
Good luck VDubber, and stay safe.
That was hella funny, I am glad you didn't cut that out so we don't make the same mistake. My stomach hurts with all the laughing.
Nice video..at 17:15 ..been there done that... its call the art of learning...will be changing mine this week end
Sorry to hear that smh :)
17:30 !!!! Thanks for your struggle man. I gotta do this in my apartment on the DL tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Great advice about chocking the tires. Definintely don't
Want the car rolling off the stands anytime. I have a SLK 320 and I kind of think it's the same system as the pump is kind of noisy. Thanks for showing us how this is done.
And yes everyone has done that at least once with the fuel running. Especially running into your arm pit.
Thank you for the comment Lisa!
Great Video, Thanks for making it. One suggestion in the future would be to drop the assembly down from the rubbber mounts it sits in to make it easier to access. That whole piece will come off the car and will be much easier to work on. I replaced dual fuel pumps on a 1989 300e and removing the assembly made it much, much easier.
Really appreciate the video man. Helped me out on my crossfire 👍🏻
Great job. I have to change mine tomorrow. Thank you!
Be careful!
This video is a joke to watch,i love it!!I laugh my gut out . Later I did replaced mine without any problem. Note spray the hose with WD40 before removing them also use a pair of pliers to twist them.then use the flat screw driver to push them off.
Mr. Hightower,
Awesome learning video and the Bloopers are what make us remember the necessary steps to get the job done correctly. No edit required... Hey at one point, I thought I was listening to "Pop" John Witherspoon from Friday.... Great Video Sir, Keep them coming... Lol 😂😂!!!! :)
I was shouting at the video, you've clamped the wrong side lol. Keep them coming buddy, good info.
Lol ROFL 🤣
Hey, many thanks for this video. Great help. My plastic shield/cover was missing when I bot my car.I Have the found the plastic shield & am trying to find the nuts & how the shield fits. I have a 2004 R170
SLK320/Chysler Crossfire.
LoL. "I clamped the wrong the one."
Very nice and authentic, really a pleasure to follow. It is what it is ;)))
It's very encouraging to see other folks also fall for human errors, and take their time !
Also, I need to do exactly this job these next days, and I know myself...
The Massive Prophet thanks Prophet :)
The Massive Prophet Thanks Prophet.
Growing up I learned, to only take advice from people who explain hazards and take safety precautions.
Hey! Great video !
17:05 I wasn't expecting to laugh while watching this video, but here I am laughing 😂
Good Job Teaching
When working on the Fuel system, start the car then pull pump fuse to make car run out of fuel to relieve pressure....
Ok tank you for this vidéos from spark plugs change this best Spark plug now problèmes
It would have been nice if you had of took us for a before and after drive to show us how the car was acting and how it changed
Salve dovrei fare lo stesso lavoro sulla mia SLK 200 Kompressor R170 Evo del 2002, che non va in moto nonostante il motorino di avviamento gira benissimo, pensi che siano uguali le auto come posizione dei componenti da sostituire. Non hai messo i link per l'acquisto, delle parti da sostituire. Forse un po più di illuminazione era gradita.Grazie
My dealer said 1500 to replace the pump . I said ill go to you tube
I love RUclips :)
smart man...
so could you drain the gas like that like how u kinda messed with the wrong clamp if i js took that tube off would it drain my tank like completely
Yep.
Same process for the SLK 320 W170. Much easier with the car jacked 1M high. or on a lift.
Yep, a lift would be very nice! :)
Nr. Hightower I watched your video I have the same car your wife. I was told the fuel pump and air filter need to changed. Where do I purchase these parts? There is no sign of gas on the pavement but I do smell gas fume at times. How safe is it to drive to nearby store?
The two nuts on the filter pump are different in sizes so you don’t have to mark them
So, does the fuel pump > run to the >filter runs. > to the fuel lines
Yes, they are right next to each other and the pump send the fuel through the filter before it goes to the injectors.
I have a miss fire cylinder 1 and 3 but also when I press the gas it doesn't rev up any help
Coil likely. This car has 1 ignition coil per 2 spark plugs/cylinders.
17:17-17-31 the titanic sinking HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣
lolololol
Another video to show u should always wear splash goggles when working with any car fluids
Exactly! smh
i have replaced my fuel pump with a new one, but there is a noise when i turn the key, i took another one but the noise is still there. fuel filter replaced too.
is it a not how to video! 😀 I think you're bearing in the supercharger needs changing it sounding whiny!! you got there in the end. I just bought one actually why I'm watching the video good price low mileage 64,000. have you changed the pulley on the supercharger made it more powerful or not?
At 17:15 he knew.
he fucked up
Yep lol literally ROFL :)
Get a pair of metal ramps at harbor freight.... it will be far easy...
C RAMOS probably right but don't want to store them
Very long winded. Why did you replace the fuel pump?
It failed.
you didn't happen to mention if this solved the problem or not, im having an issue while the car is under heavy load (like a/c on and trying to get on the interstate) I notice the power plateau's and if you push the throttle down further it stumbles, almost like misfiring or lack of fuel and timing advanced too far, supercharger is coming on, I also held it in the stumble for a few seconds hoping to get a check engine light and stored code but didn't happen. I replaced the crank position sensor and I have the fuel pump and filter here ready to be installed but did replacing the pump and filter correct the issue?
There was no real problem just an old filter so I changed the pump at the same time. If you're having power problems, it could be a lot of things. I would start with the simple stuff like clean correctly gaped spark plugs. clean air filter, clean throttle body, good fuel pressure on both sides of the fuel pressure regulator. Then, if you still have no power, disconnect the electrical connector to the bypass valve next to the air filter to turn the super charger off and check power before and after. Even though the super charger is coming on, if may not be producing much bust due to the need for a rebuild or there could be a boost leak in the piping to the MAF to the throttle. Hope this helps.
This change filtre now simple Mercedes spécialiste change this filter tank you for this vidéos next y change from my cars Mercedes SLK kompressor 230 ok tank you for you vidéos y looking morow autres problèmes from Mercedes

Man if you can afford a Mercedes seems like you would have enough light so we could get a wider view of the bottom. I just stopped the video. I couldn't take looking at this any longer.
Thanks Kenneth.
