Hi, thanks for posting, very clear instructions. Just got one question if I may. If the connecter that fits into the magnet has oil in it do I clean it or do I need to replace it? Many thanks, Rick (Cambridge, UK).
Before anyone changes these cam magnets make sure you have power coming out of both wires that attach to it. I think one wire is 4.7 volts and the other wire is about 12 volts with the key turned to the second position.
Fyi: This lufi XF1 was earlier swap for usr between two Hondas of both 1.5 litres engine. But one is otto cycle and other one is atkison cycle. On idling the atkison unit is having suction of only -0.15atm vs -0.45atm for otto cycle. Happy motoring.
Thanks a lot for the video! Do you think the clips and the cables should be changed as well? I have the same kind of leak and my local mechanic recommended to change the magnets the clips and the cables altogether to prevent the leak reaching to the ECU.
It depends if the update had already been done or not. There was a retrofit so that it rerouted the cables how they are on mine, so that the oil can’t flow into the ECU.
hi I have E 320 1997 I have the camshaft magnet ready to install but doesn't have a O ring gasket is only metal do I have to put sealer silicon to avoid any leak I call dealer and asked and they said... doesn't need any gasket

Hi i wanted to ask if you got any trouble codes with this issue, as mines coming up with P0366 camshaft position sensor bank 2,, or is that a whole different issue?
I found oil inside both of the camshaft magnet electrical plugs but there is no oil leaking around the magnets. Do you think the magnets are bad or do you think if I just replace the orings and the problem is solved? there is no codes showing up at all. thank you!
Hello, what are the colour arrangement of the wires going to the camshaft position sensor (intake side) for this model? I have some problems with the wires mixed up after the connector got broken.
Thanks for the nice video. Actually both magnets have this silicon leaking ring rubber right? What was this think which you put in the center? Some kind of rubber isolation?
I replaced my timing chain and cam gears, aftermarket cam gears. I still hear a cold start noise from these cam gears when the oil drain from them. Is the only way to have a quiet cold start to use geniune Mercedes cam gears?
If oil starts leaking from these magnets, they will infiltrate the sensors attached to them and go all the way to the ECU and O2 sensor (lambda sensor) causing all kinds of errors and eventually compromising the ECU. (Not a cheap fix)
If the connector won't come off of the cam magnet unplug the extension from the harness and remove the cam magnet with the extension. You'll be able to get at the clips easier that way. It should come off relatively easily unless someone put it on crooked and bent the pins.
Hi my car's camshaft only leaking . But it doesn't have any problem. How can i stop the leaking? Thanks. Is it mentioned in manual it has to be change every 100000km?(camshaft)
Can you just replace the seals? what made you want to buy new magnets? I found mine are leaking pretty badly today, and want to clear it up, but I do not have any codes that warren replacing the whole units.

If you had a full donor car with the computer and everything then probably, but the price of a 2007 c-class is so low now that it would be cheaper to just buy one.
You left out one step that Mercedes mentions in their maintenance manual for this repair. You are supposed to align the new magnet by using a 6mm drill.
@@mortiferum87 Just look up the according Mercedes WIS document. It explains all neccessary steps, including the correct centering by using the shaft of a 6mm drill.
I have just changed mine on my SLK 200. Quite a simple job. Have anyone know why it should leak? And why it is designed in such a way that it leaks? And most of all have anyone ever dismantle it to see if it can be repaired? I bought mine, a pair for about 85 USD including "O" rings & grommet.

Please tell me what type of spark plugs I need to get for my w203 1.8 liter. I am also interested in doing a tune on mine. Can you share more info on that? I saw you mentioned about it in a reply.
M 271 is well know for serious problems with cam chains stretching and sometimes jumping teeth causing catastrophic engine failure, definitely not one of Mercedes best efforts, M 111 is a far better power plant.
Good video ! However, you have missed one point. When refitting the magnets you need to put a 6mm drill shaft through the magnet centre hole and into the camshaft to align the magnet as you are fitting it. You then insert the middle rubber once the magnet is tightened in place. Otherwise you have have the magnet slightly out of place which will cause oil leakage.
While I found out about that later on, there is zero play for anything when you put it back together at least on my car. So you could align it but it would be the same as if you just put it on as there’s no play in the screws for the actual camshaft magnet to move at all

Leaking is not only comming out from the edge of magnets,it is also comming through the electrical connector and it could reach to the O2 (lambda) sensor.That is the dangerous one.If you only change the o ring you might stop edge-leaking but main leaking still goes on and could cause damage to your ECU and relevent sensors.Hope it will be useful.
Check to make sure the intake is tight as well and that your PCV is not backed up or clogged. That can spray oil into the intake if you are camshaft magnets are not leaking
Why would oil be leaking into cam shaft magnets if PCV system is vented either into intake manifold or into suction of Eaton 45. I have just install a generic OBD2 plug & display unit Lufi XF. MAF reading at 5.4g/second. Rpm 850. Air manifold at 0.55atm (-55kpa). Throttle at 17.2% open. IAT 40 degC. O2 SENSOR AT 0.74V which is good. Calculations: a) 5.4g air/second = 4.9 litres air per second. B) 850rpm for 1.8litre engine = 7.08 suction strokes per second = 12.75 litres of displacement volume by all 4 piston in 1 second. C) 4.9/12.75 = 0.385 for ratio of air intake volume vs total displacement volume for every 1 second. This come to -61.5kpa or (-0.615 atm) inside cylinder at BDC. This should be correct as manifold pressure is always higher than pressure inside cylinder during suction stroke. The above does not take into account of gases coming from PCV system back into intake manifold and the gasoline spray by port injectors. So actual pressure in cylinder at BDC could be much closer to -55kpa. This Lufi XF is generic type reader. When it was on my honda ivetc engine it could read EGR valve opening value but not MAF and exhaust temperature. On W211 E200k year 2006 it could not read egr valve value and exhaust temperature. Good if Lufi could sell XF1 reader which customised for Mercedes or Honda or BMW etc etc. Every one should have a good plug in & display type of OBD2 reader. There was a post around year 2010 that owner had done quite many costly things (and pulling hairs) to his troubled E200k and in the end it just come down to just a leaky breather hoses.
that could be a number of things, but many people have said replacing the 12 dollar PCV hose helps. Do a search for w203 12 dollar hose and you'll find it.
Ya did that. Found out what it is well I started the car and opened the oil cap and boom there is the problem head gasket blown dam that y codes do little to help in some areas
was that the $5000 job they told me about at the dealer? I was just asking them what problems my specific car model could have, and they said "oh, camshaft adjuster...it's a 5000-dollar job. I've seen it go bad at 20k and it could go out at 100k"
I had this problem also with the M271 (new control chain, new camshaft adjusters, new valves, C180 T, 2006). Since November 2016, the car has a total of 4 months in 2 car workshops.
