    Every 6 years or 60,000 miles we have to replace the spark plugs of our Mercedes, that's requiring of Mercedes maintenance booklet. So let's replace the spark plugs for my six years E350 (M276).
    In the MB repair booklet, there is a step to remove the intake manifold, in order to remove the ignition coil easily. But that must replace the intake plenum gasket, that'd spend another a hundred bucks and more time. So follow this video, you might save that bucks and time to replace all of six spark plugs.

    奔驰的保养手册要求每六年或六万英里更换火花塞,我的E350(M276)已经六年了,换吧。注意,奔驰的维修手册要求拆掉进气总管,以方便拆掉点火模块,但那必须更换进气总管与进气歧管间的密封圈,费钱、费事又费力。按照我的方法可以省掉那些步骤和钱。

    Hi Senior Leigh and to all your subscribers . So i remember a while back I was suppose to let you and the group know if I was successful in installing new timing chain rattle kit for my 2012 Mercedes E300 M276 engine. Thanks to all the pdf you have on your website I got the job done. I know how to set the engine timing completely . I installed updated tensioners , check valves and new camshaft solenoids on my engine. I did also check all my cam shaft actuators and they are good none was slipping and spewing oil from the front so that was great. My car sounds beautiful now all the rattling i heard is gone. If later on one my cam shaft actuator goes i will attempt that job myself and let you know. I am even more in love with my car now . I really want to thank you for the information you sent me your an angel sent from the skies I just want to thank you.

    Thank you so much.. I just did mine today and your video helped me a lot. I did at 76000 and spark plugs still looks good. When I connected the F cable to ECU, I believe my fan ran for couple seconds as I could see some dust flying, first I thought something burnt but no burning smell and car works without any issues/code. So I realized it could be the fan.

  • @MarkRadfordAZ
    @MarkRadfordAZ Год назад +1

    Very helpful. One note for followers. Note the technique he uses to remove the coil connector. It's SUBTLE! Once you pull out the grey lock... you need to push DOWN on the end of it (quite a bit) to actually release the mechanism and allow the connector to just slip off by pushing with another screw driver. I unfortunately didn't notice this until I had broken a connector. Not bad enough to be unusable but still broken. If you do it right the connector just slips right off.

Doing the job in 2024 on a 2014 with 90k means 1000's of heat cycles and those boots were so stuck it wasn't even funny. Broke 4 of the 6 removing them and needed to replace, just FYI for those getting ready to do this project. You can get replacement boots on rockauto for $5 per.

    Genius method to avoid removing the intake plenum which makes the job much longer and expensive. Do you have to remove the battery connector before removing the ECU? Did it cause any errors once the car was started due to the missing ECU? Thanks for sharing the video.

    • @LeighSr
      @LeighSr  3 года назад +6

      Thank you, and no necessary to disconnect the battery. Once you disconnect the battery, many errors codes will be stored in the OBD, you have to erase it by MB Star. Switch off the ignition and remove the key away, disconnect the ECU, when you finished the work connect it again, the ECU won't know what happened, so no error code. BTW, disconnect the ECU is a way to prevent steal when you parking in the street for a long time.

You can realize a similar level of performance improvement if you clean all chassis ground connections, esp. the alternator ground strap.

E8 - Spark plugs ignition coil. T25 - Remove the Bracket on the driver side to give you some room. Hope this help. Warning, don't try this job without the spark plug removal tool shown here.

    How do I get the boot off? Can I spray Kroil or WD-40 directly into the top of the boot where I can see the metal contact and hope the oil gets to the plug?

    • @LeighSr

      The 6th spark plug is the most difficult to remove. That must be sucked too tight with spark plug and the boot. I think you can fill the WD40 into the hole of spark plug, and wait a couple of hours. Let the WD-40 sock into the gap. That would be easy pull the boot out.

    • @LeighSr
      @LeighSr  4 года назад +2

      I'm happy you like my video. And say hello to your daughter for me. For Spark Plug boot Removal Plier, I strongly recommend purchasing one. Considering the ignition coils have sat the position 6 years, the boot holds the spark plug tail pretty tight, they never separated since 6 years ago, LOL. Also, the ignition coil is more expensive than the plier. When you pull them off with strength continuously instead of suddenly to avoid breaking the ignition. At the last make sure the ignition coil seat correct position to firmly connect to the connector of the spark plug. If there has abnormal vibration with the engine while you start the engine, there must be an ignition coil connected incorrectly. Don't worry, connect it again. Replacing the spark plug is not a difficult job, just patient, Good luck!

    • @LeighSr
      @LeighSr  Год назад +1

      Thanks, and in my opinion, the index spark plugs are the old school. And now the ignite spark energy is much more stronger than before, the indexing is not necessary for the modern engine. Also the Mercedes must be considered the best way to optimize the engine. The index is always the right things to do, but I think the benefit is too small to be ignored. So we just follow the WIS to maintenance our Mercedes and peace of mind. 🤝

      Easiest way to find if it’s ignition coil to interchange ignition coil from 5-6 cylinder and see if you can replicate the issue on cylinder 5. As you can see cylinder 5 & 6 is the most toughest, I would suggest to buy 1 ignition coil for cylinder 6. I saw the same issue you are having with same engine for other people and it’s most likely spark plug not the ignition coil. Hope this helps
