Just did this job today. Great video you walked me through the job. Only thing I would add is that the 2 horizontal bolts on the mount can easily be accessed by removing the plastic arch liner. Merc put access holes and everything! And for anyone reading this without air or powerful impact tools, the starter removal and locking tool is a doddle. Cheers
Did a full service on our A180d at the weekend and this video was much appreciated. I used a drill bit to lock the cam and used paint marker on the crank. I pulled the arch liner to get to the holes to do the engine mount. I also pulled the pipe off the radiator to drain the coolant as I replaced that at the same time.
@diydaly Thank you. I'm slightly worried though as when I fitted belt, cam & crank pins were in and tensioner in at 27nm. When i took both pins out and cranked x 2 and stopped just before TDC, the crank pin was fine but when I rested the crank web against it, the cam pin was 1mm out. In other words, the laser pin didn't quiet go in but a 1mm less drill bit did. Did this twice but each time the laser pin wouldn't go in, only the ever so slight smaller drill bit. Everything was locked and timed perfect before the 2 rotations😢
hi mate, great video, can i just ask- im looking to change the serpent belt tensioner on my other halfs car - merc a180d 2019 , is it held in by the one bolt in the centre? what size socket is it? and i take it , it can be done from above?
I like your video and the way you work. (I don;t say that very often) One thing, You mentioned about bleeding the coolant system. You said to put the heater on full heat and full speed. Full heat and no speed would surely be better as the vehicle would warm up faster which would then open the thermostat which is the aim. Its been long time since I did my apprentice and things have changed so maybe their is a reason for full heat AND full speed instead of just full heat?
The reason you put the blower on full is so you can easily feel the heater getting hot through the vents so you know its circulating the coolant round and theres no trapped air. If it was a case of wanting to just get it hot as quickly as possible it'd be better to put the heater onto the cold setting so there's minimal heat lost into the cabin. Which once you're happy that everything is circulating and has been bled up properly you could do that so that the engine warms up faster so you can check the cooling fan comes on as it should. Which I've done quite a few times just for peace of mind.
@@lewisbsalford No, if you leave the heater on the cold setting, on many cars it stops the water flowing through the heater matrix which will trap air in the system. That is why you turn it to hot. As for your comment about warm air through the vents, It's Difficult to check that from outside the car and if you are inside, just turn the fan on for a few seconds.
@@lewisbsalford Not really. You are trying to justify putting the blower on full. Do that on many big diesel engines and they will take an age and consume a lot of fuel before they get hot enough to open the thermostat yet alone power up the rad fan. Unless of course you live in a very hot country.
hi mate really good tutorial for this engine timing belt change, after watching your video I felt I could do this job also , I've got a 125 Mk6 fiesta, I've got to change the alternator belt, but really could do with the timing belt renewed aswell, I've seen you fiesta timing belt video, could you give any advice about replacing the fiesta 125 timing belt please? anyway thanks for your videos their great tutorials and nice film work, from Tony from Bedfordshire,
Thanks Tony , your comment is much appreciated !👍👍 .. Yeah that video will be the same for your fiesta .. there not bad to do really, the floating pulley always seems bit daunting but with the timing pins its not bad really, bit easy if you have a buzz gun.. just double check everything really , once the belts on, check everythings in line & the cranks definitely resting on the pin and you shouldn't have any issues 👌
Hi, great video. I can’t seem to find any data for the interval on changing the timing belt on w176 2018 facelift model, I saw one that says 90,000km. Any idea? Thanks!
update: I saw a forum post saying form OM607, it's every 200,000km/10 years for Europe and 100,000km/5 years for rest of world.. wonder why the stark difference? Anyone can chip in?

Hi mate great video.....I have a renault kadjar 1.5 dci year 2016 done only 36,000 miles but unsure when cambelt needs replacing due to age,also would the water pump need doing as well if low mileage ? Any help much appreciated,thanks.
@@1972dazbo Renault say 5 year or, 60 65 or 70k miles (I cannot remember which) Whichever comes first. Mercedes do some mods to the Renault engine apparently. They extend the time/mileage as you know.
What other changes you have to do I'm at 130k km on a Mercedes citan with same engine. I also need the classic oil and filter but what else needs to be done? You think the brake pads need change if they are the original? Anything else I'm just new thanks
@@maxthecaddy8451 definitely did, they tried the typical scaremongering b*******t, will be the last time I’ll be using a dealer! Only went in for its service and MOT
Gretings, I have same car W176 OM607 1.5 diesel with 7DCT, car is made in 10/2016, I buy it at 61.500Km. I was at the dealer to check it, everything was ok, no issues, like new. Now I have 90.228Km, almos 29.000Km in 2,5 years. I take it to service for oil change (OE MB oil) and MANN filters MANN at every 10.000-11.000 km maximum, next maintenance will be in 186 days (third oil and filters change), since I have it. I wanna ask you if should I tell to the mechanic to take a look at the thooted belt? Because some guy from MB send me this maintenance intervals: OM 607/OM 651 For diesel engines OM 651 and OM 607 the service interval for the additional maintenance operations "Replace coolant" is now also "Every 200,000 km/ 10 years". For the new additional maintenance operation "Replace toothed belt" on the OM 607 a service interval of "200,000 km/10 years" applies across Europe, while "100,000 km/5 years" applies for all other countries.

Thank you so much for the video! 👍🏻 Looking forward for your answer.
@@balamuc29 👍👍 sounds good , yes I would definelty enquire about the timing belt .. they won’t beable to tell from inspection but it will need doing at the correct interval
Thanks! There ok tbf , if it’s the 1.5 they run a lot of Renault gear… the do suffer with airbag faults relating to the pad in the seat which is a pain

Don’t be fooled by thinking it’s an unreliable Renault engine. These 1.5 dci engines are little gems. Pretty reliable and very fuel efficient.
