Changing the Fuel Filter and Accumulator on my Mercedes 190E W201

In this video, I change the fuel filter and accumulator on my 1987 Mercedes Benz 190E.

Goodday mate. Nice videos. I'm gonna change mine too. Very bad starts hot and cold. Renewed alot of stuff, but seems to be the accumulator. Watch out with tapping an iron tool on the iron filter, with all that gas pooring around.

Thank you very much, I'm not sure if mine did need replacing but I though I should as it was the original to the car I believe.

I'm changing my pump and filter tomorrow. I didn't think of the accumulator being faulty....cars been standing for a while. I think I'll look at the tank strainer....is it easy to get to??

@@leetbawden4480 I took my airfilter off, and adjusted the air plate. It should have 1.9 mm before it gets resistance, when you press it. Mine had 4 to 5mm before resistance. I adjusted it to the 1.9 and it starts right away at the first start, and it was 8 starts before. I renewed the accumulator, but apparently unnecessary.

Thanks..
After making the change, I checked the bar pressures. Crushed washers on missing fuel filter!

Hopefully you can get some washers on.

Hi. I like your videos. Did you damage the fuel hose when you clamped it?

[@OnTheDrive]

Thank you very much, yes I did clamp the fuel hose off.
