Thank you for actually mentioning related details when replacing them, this is something that replacement tutorials lack - adding their personal experience. Thanks!
My ML400 with a V-6 turbo(or bi-turbo, forgotten which) engine drowned from non-draining sun roof drains which, during a big rain storm, let somewhere between 13 to 16 gallons of water get through or over the roof seals and into the cabin and down under the carpets, which ruined the electronics under there. The SUV was quickly declared a total loss by my insurer carrier. Only had 88,000 miles on it, after buying it new, and didn't have it long enough to wear out the oil seals you replaced. Great engine in that vehicle, wood trim, heated & cooled cup holders, etc. Would have kept it forever. However, you have to check the roof drains yourself, or make a special inspection request of your mechanic or dealer - roof drains are not on the list of routine factory-recommended service items.

Hello can you please tell me how to change the cam plugs for 2015 Mercedes GL550 it’s a v8 engine 4.6 liter. The v6 cam plugs are really easy but the GL550 is kind of hard to do. Can you please do a video ?
My mercedes is leaking from the rubber circle in the bottom of the engine by the oil pan. The part number of where the oil leak comes from is 211 271 01 80. Its a 2011 mercedes e class bluetec diesel. I barely bought the car and its leaking bad, thank you for your help
I fixed w272 engine and the expansion plugs keep pulling out once i accelerate,please what could be the problem (i changed new plugs still the same problem)
I have 2010 glk350 and it will smell like burning oil and sometime you can see good amount of smoke coming from front of the hood then goes away. It started smell once i had the oil change. Do you think it's the expansion cap or oil filter not seated and closed properly? Thanks so much
Benz leak all around: oil cooler, breather separator seem to be the most common places. Economy size seals really help. It may also be steering oil, or tranny cooler
You can put silicone lubricant on the rubber o-rings. I wouldn't put gasket maker of any kind on those parts - the next time around it will leave some residue that can actually cause leaks.
hey man I have a question. I did the spark plugs on my moms c300 v6 4matic. Their was oil in the spark plug tubes. On the plugs and coils. 2 of them out of 6. Isnt that spark plug tube seals that need to be replaced? Im used to Japanese cars not German lol Hoping you could send me correct direction.
Great video sir but I only have oil leakage coming from the oil drip pan hose I don't now if that problem is caused by the hoes or the dril pan but I will change all three things the hose, the drip pan cover and the one which is inside. Any way do you recommand me to change these plugs although the don't leake
@@iRepairAutos I allready did cleaned up the oil also about 6 months ago I have changed the pvc which is called on your other video oil drip pan but I have not changed that other thing inside I only changed the cover and now I see the leakage coming from the hose
Ok. The oil separator on the inside is probably letting oil by which is ending up inside the hose. This can end up damaging your MAF air sensor and your air intake manifold. I would change that part asap. I'll try to get a video made on removing the hose.
No the rebreather hose not blocked.. I have been driving another car until I fix the problem.. it’s like they go in after I work with them for a minute then when I start driving I see smoke coming from my hood when I check they halfway on.. idk what could it be
How old are the plugs? These plugs have to be tight. Once you remove them or they pop out. You should change them for new ones. They have a rubber o-ring on them. Make sure the old o-ring is not stuck inside the port on the engine. Or the new one won't seat properly. Let me know what you find. But definitely get new ones.
I just noticed a leak around the oil filler cap on my 2007 c280, its bad enough that its dripping on the exhaust manifold and creating a lot of smoke. Where do you think I should be looking..? Thank you.
Another Great Video! Thank you Keith, Keep em Rock'in! Stay Health, Remember Vitamin C during Corona Virus to help stay healthy and if you don't feel well. 1000 mg. 2x a day. Once in the morning and before bed. Stay well and God Bless!
Hey Hiroyuki! Yes the engine is M272. I changed both the caps (new rings come with new caps) It is quite possible to just change the rings out. One thing to note is the caps are plastic and can get brittle over time and kinda get deformed slightly when you remove them.
I would just use silicon RTV sealant on the old ones... the new one have economy sized skinny O-rings: OF COURSE THEY LEAK in a hurry, they have to by design!

You are truly a blessing to everyone in the automotive field. Thank you.
I too have this issue on my 06 ML350. I already have the parts. Thanks for the video! This will make it very easy for me.

Sometimes it can just be as simple as carefully spraying bleach or mold remover into those four drains. I do it twice a year in rainy So. Florida.
excellent knowledge, thanks to Dr. Keith for exposing the fix for this failure point.
Thank you for making that video cuz I have that problem in my Mercedes but now it's ready fix it thank you and God bless you
Thanx for the informative video on expansion/freeze plug.
thank you so much for this very good video .Have the exact same problem with my C230
+Mike Marashdeh glad the videos are helpful. Let's keep our cars running perfectly.
mike, my c230 has a big leak from this cap. your problem triggered engine light on ?
no but mine had a burned oil smell (sometimes white smoke come out from the back of the engine-passenger side)
The white smoke is coming from the oil dripping on the exhaust pipes. Change those plugs asap.
@@iRepairAutos yes that and the leak from separator outlet port to intake hose, right?

It could be a number of areas. Check the oil filler cap, expansion caps, various sensors. Follow the oil.
Benz leak all around: oil cooler, breather separator seem to be the most common places. Economy size seals really help.
It may also be steering oil, or tranny cooler
Thank you for a great video my S550 2012 only had one plug
Did yours make a clock sound when inserted ?

Are these plugs on the OM642 engine as well? Cheers Drew
Can I put ultra grey silicone gasket on them ?
You can put silicone lubricant on the rubber o-rings. I wouldn't put gasket maker of any kind on those parts - the next time around it will leave some residue that can actually cause leaks.
I guess the plugs leak when there is too much back pressure from the failing PCV separator...
😂
@@iRepairAutos thank you very much
Amigo. Todavía estaban nuevos!
How many of the plugs/caps are needed for a 2009 c300? I tried looking up the parts and I’m lost. Thank you.
I need a part number for these for 2014 gl450
Where did u bought the plugs

Do all m272 engines have that larger one?

Coulde you also make a video of how to remove that hose from the airmass ?
Use some engine degreaser and clean it up. Then see where the oil leak is coming from. Oil pans on mercedes vehicles are not easy to remove.

Where is a good place to purchase the OEM Parts?
For some reason my cam plugs keep sliding out by themselves the 2 small ones .. can you help
This should not happen. Are the plugs new? Is your rebreather hose blocked? Check this immediately. A
No the rebreather hose not blocked.. I have been driving another car until I fix the problem.. it’s like they go in after I work with them for a minute then when I start driving I see smoke coming from my hood when I check they halfway on.. idk what could it be

@@iRepairAutos These are not normal o rings the rubber seal is fused to the plastic cap.
I have ordered eBay item and it is a loose fit in the hole. I am trying to find a higher quality item that has a tight fit.
On the driver side I dont have that big cap in my engine i have a 2008 c300
do not have on 2010 c300. either.
are these in-line 4 cylinders or V shaped 6 or 8 cyls?

great video - very well explained, thanks.
Glad it helped
I just noticed a leak around the oil filler cap on my 2007 c280, its bad enough that its dripping on the exhaust manifold and creating a lot of smoke. Where do you think I should be looking..? Thank you.
Start with the oil filler cap. There is a rubber gasket on the cap that can be missing or worn out
iRepair Autos I’ll try that, thanks a lot.
Excellent Video, are these expansion plugs listed under another name?
Cam plugs
Great video. Quick & to the point. Thank you
Mine on the left looking in the bay won’t frickin stay in help my man please😭😭
Should the engine be shut off for a certain amount of time before starting this job.......just to settle the oil in the upper part of the engine....??
Overnight or until it's totally cool. More so you don't burn yourself. There isn't much oil at the top end when the engine is off.
it look like slk350 have this leaking, thank for the show
Get that leak fixed. Thanks for watching.
its part of the fun of ownership.
All the Benz V6 reliably leak everything except gas

You're welcome!
thanks for this video
thanks for this!
You're welcome!
Is this bluetec engine
No. Gasoline engine.
I got leak in rear of the engine. Does mine have these also.
Yes - but it is a different part number and slightly different in shape.
Love the funeral music (sarcastically speaking)!
Lol. Hopefully the video makes up for the music.
was helpful! thanks!
your engine is a m272?
did you change the caps or the rings on caps?
Hey Hiroyuki! Yes the engine is M272. I changed both the caps (new rings come with new caps) It is quite possible to just change the rings out. One thing to note is the caps are plastic and can get brittle over time and kinda get deformed slightly when you remove them.
