Only a decade or so!

@walshysworld245 well that Is not true

@@bowedfrog OK 👍

I've just tried that, but I can only get from the small one to the medium one doing that on a Samsung.

Yep, that little belt is fiddly!

I disconnected the wires from the motor, and have just been driving around without power steering for the last few months!

Still haven't sorted it out yet, there's a bloke taking a look at it tomorrow. It's been a nightmare!

@@walshysworld245 apparently someone told me it needs coding using only mercedes machine, I had to unplug the motor to drive the car, am also still looking for someone to sort this out kept us updated on any solutions thx

I spoke to my insurance company Sarah. They don't consider tables to be a significant modification, therefore they didn't take a record of it.

Thats good then, my insurance company threatened to cancel mine just for installing an apple play head unit in my vivaro!

Thanks for the warning Sarah, but it won't.

Oh i though your insurer was Sarah, why are you calling me Sarah? Is it like calling someone a Karen?

They're not big!

I think this video was close to real time, or maybe 2hrs. But it was at night, and I was trying to simultaneously trying to film it.

10 people watching this video is not gonna make a dent on anything Gay Jay

@@walshysworld245 not really the point though. This guy didn't know his video would suck when he posted it

Yep, it may be slower than the sighted leading the blind, but it still gets there in the end. I filmed this as I literally could not find a single video showing how you did it. I suggest you upload a better one.

It shouldn't need silicone, but I suppose 4 strategic dabs of silicone to ensure it doesn't slip again couldn't hurt. If you're left with a gap anywhere between the panel and the securing bar, a window packer under the panel would be the way to sort that. Good luck!

@@walshysworld245 it would happen during a wet winter ! cheers for the vid, very inspiring

Same for me last year, it was brutal when I was fixing it!

Ah I see, guessing you've had bad flooding down there too, if you have the motor off, you could try taking the black electrical block off and checking the board, if water has been sat in there for a long time the board can go moldy and gather green gunk on it which in turn causes a short circuit throwing an error light in the van. I've dried mine off as much as I can and started it up this morning and it's still the same, so looks like I'm going to have to take the motor off like you have done and try fix it. Looked like when you take the motor off yours power steering fluid leaked out, have you checked the Ps level to see if its not drained down, as that will cause an error code too, you could also check the 100amp fuse the back of the battery under the drivers seat with a bleep voltmeter

That electrical cover is factory sealed to the motor, I think it would be difficult to get it back in properly, but maybe necessary. It's an electrical motor, not a mechanical motor, there's no power steering fluid feeding it.

@walshysworld245 ok mate, reassuring to know there's no power steering fluid behind the motor. Yeah the electrical block needs to come off in order to fix, but maybe best for a specialist to do, they would be sealed with like special silicone to stop any ingress of water, but looking at it there are 3 x bolts to take out, the one side would be mechanical with the metal splines on which would be on a bearing, and the other side would be electrical with the connectors on. Which would power the motor. I've taken electrical pumps apart in the past so I'm a little familiar with how they work, just never a electrical power steering unit lol

Just managed to get the motor off mine, it was easier to take the passenger wheel off for me and use a long extension bar with torques bit on a swivel socket, struggled to do it from underneath myself, I shook it in the sink and it was still full of water and dirt, it leaked out all the connectors. So I'm going to dry it off overnight on the radiator hoping it will work tomorrow fingers crossed lol

Thanks Steve, in mine there is no slack, the panel had been slipped by a cat chasing birds a few times. I tried a few times to slide the panel back up from below, it bent the rubber seals each time. Mine had no issues being stood on.

@@walshysworld245 Fair do’s. Another approach is to use silicon spray on the rubber seal and even use a credit card to get the spray to penetrate around the rubber seal. That may temporarily allow the panel to be pushed back. Not always of course. Only mentioning in case it is a benefit to others.

You're welcome!

No worries, they must've complicated it even further after the 2014 model lol

And dark, there's always something else I'm supposed to be doing, so just crack on when I've got a minute!

Thanks mate

Whut??

Maybe, I don't know that tool!

That panel will move around easily as the rubber seals have lost their friction due to age. No need to remove the cap from the support bar.

Exactly what I thought, they cost about a score too

I've tried her with harnesses, she doesn't like them.
