How to Open a Stuck or Damaged Mercedes Hood Latch With No Tools
Procedure for opening the hood latch of most mid-2000's Mercedes hood latch if the cable or latch release mechanism is damaged. This particular video is of a W211 (E-Class) but the principle and latch mechanism is the same for most similar vehicles. Tools required are limited to having a way to get under the vehicle and possibly a long flat blade screwdriver. Time to complete is under ten minutes not including lifting the vehicle.
Hope it helps! Mercedes would no doubt quote $500 for a job that you can do yourself with the spare tire kit, a block of wood, and some hand soap. Get to it and save the money!

Buying a Salvage W211 Mercedes E500 from Copart Sight Unseen - Part One
Переглядів 1,4 тис.4 роки тому
This is all very experimental. I know the camera work is garbage, circumstances weren't great and hopefully that will improve as this project comes along. But here it is, I've been shopping for a new project for a while now and this one came up. Total impulse buy, hopefully I don't come to regret it. Current cost for the salvage E500: $2173, half a tank of diesel.
Diagnosing and Replacing Ford Superduty 4WD Hubs

But you can see everything you need to see, and there's a decent amount of information you can use to figure out if your hubs are the issue and if so which hub is giving problems. Remember, the Super Duties have open front differentials, so i...
Cadillac CTS - How to Check and Add Transmission Fluid

How to check and add fluid to the GM 5L40E automatic transmission, found in many GM and BMW vehicles. CLARIFICATION!!! It was a really long day.

    Apparently on older models of s40 and v50 it's located on the chassis where the rear right wheel is from the outside. My car completely stalled so i'll have to try and replace it, it served well for 20 years, even though there was a recall for these models due to corrosion and dust pilling up in the module.

    This airbag steering wheel design is so dumb, which BMW can simply make it more straightforward and less problematic. It shouldn't requires almost tearing your steering wheel boot just to locate a little spring. Should be like a rocker switch.

    Thanks for the video on showing how to actually remove the bumper cover. Mine went exactly as yiu had shown, almost. As much as I tried I could not work around the wheel well splash guards by trying to bend them back. I ended up removing the back wheel, this also allowed me room to see the head of the 7mm screws near the wheels. Also, this area can collect a lot of dirt (mine's a 2005) so add an old tooth brush or similar to that tool list. Again, Thanks.

    So I had a bad DL headlight a couple months ago on a 2015 Audio Q5 and I thought it was the ballast. I ordered two used ballasts and two new HID 5000K bulbs on eBay. I installed and they worked great. So figured it was the bulb. Now the same headlamp is showing an error on my dashboard, but it comes and goes. Sometimes the bulb will startup fine (no errors), etc. and sometimes it won't come on at all. When the bulb is own it seems to be as bright as the other one. Before I replaced, the bulb would come on but was very dim and gave be a dashboard warning. Do you think this is a faulty bulb for ballast? Because it's intermittent it's hard to swap PS components. I think the igniter is in the bulb. Thanks.

    Great vid and thanks, when one front hub goes and in 4x4, (with both front hubs locked) is there power to the rear wheels only or the rear wheels and the front tire with a good hub?

    • @redlineauto8519
      @redlineauto8519 6 місяців тому

      The superduty front diffs are open, meaning they send power to the wheel with the least resistance. If you have a hub out, that is virtually zero resistance on that axle so it will spin free just like when I spun the axle but the wheel stayed still in the video. With a bad hub in 4x4, you do have power to the front end but that power never makes it to the ground so you are still effectively in two wheel drive.
