Sounds like your car is a fan of Van Halen hot for teacher.

Having the same issue

Thanks the video

Very helpful, great suggestion on using the vacuum line rubber plugs to prevent leaking while you are replacing. Thank you!

There's a tool for the release date the black cap

Exactly what I'm doing today.

Did you ever find out what the problem was?

So what was the end result? I have a similar sound and I just replaced the rear chick top rubbers but old ones where in good condition, sound is still there

Guys...if you gone so far to remove the glove box and if you have already watched/replaced other actuators, you can do this as well. One tip is to remove the heating element which is on the way and second tip is to remove the actuator opposite to the recirculating one to get more space. I thought I can never replace, but I did just in 2 hours. I am not keeping the car, I am done with it so will be looking for the next owner. I like the smooth ride, but I don't like the problems it comes with and the milage sucks.

I have buick enclave and have the same issue...replaced 3 actuators as of date, this one I still have to fix. My wife does not drive this car and my kids hate it

Great job showing all phases of this HEADACHE of a job. Boy, what were MB engineers THINKING - I've worked on dozens of various makes / models but this is hands down, the WORST placement + BIGGEST hassle fuel filter change of all. My only guess is: - 100% rigged afterthought at design time OR - make job SO difficult, even DIY guys will come to Dealer for the work. What do you think ? How hard was it for you ? For me, releasing clips in such a small space - so fussy - was a HUGE hassle. Dang, MB why NOT regular clamps & braided steel / fuel lines ?

At 8:00 you are struggling to remove the clip that holds on the line end. Here's a video that shows EXACTLY how to remove the main clamps onto the top of fuel pump. I wasn't able to tell from your view, but is this the same clamp or different type clip ? ua-cam.com/video/-IGrSMAsgRw/v-deo.html

Very nice over view of the w163 Fuel Filter Job. It's a shame Mercedes buried the filter in such a hard to reach location. My only conclusion is that they are really trying to make it hard on the DIY home mechanic & to drive owners to the Dealers for service work ! I had a Nissan Maxima years ago it was an 1985 but Fuel Injected like the ML, and it had a similar looking Metal Hi-Pressure filter, located underhood. A blind man could have changed it in 15 minutes. I was mounted in plain sight, easy access. I LOVE my Mercedes for it's virtues, but some of it is hard to live with. I'll say the "In tank" pumps are just a bad plan. The Dodge gas engine trucks & vans are about as bad. You have to drop a tank to change the pump. At least the Mercedes has a cover to do it through. Some Ram truck & van owners cut an access panel in their bed or body to avoid dropping the tank. Anyhow, we put up with this stuff because we avoid New Car Payments, and get to KNOW our ride real well - which is a good feeling ! Cheers everybody & thanks again for the video.

That's the sound of your strut mount (top) bolts rattling. Just tighten them to the specified torque & job done!

How did you get the glove box door off without breaking the hinge hooks? Mine will not budge even when fully open and hanging down.

You should really continue to post on this channel, it has very informative and easy to understand tutorials.

At 8:58 there are special pliers to disconnect that. A Mercedes service tool basically. I got mine along with filter for $12 or so. Haven't used it yet - but will soon. Its a hassle of course cause not everyone will have one on hand !

he should have replaced the pump

What made you change it? Whats the name of that kit?

Information for everyone, the small line that costs to disconnect is the one that goes from the filter to the canister, another easier technique is to disconnect it directly from the canister and remove the filter with everything and line attached to it, already outside it is easier to disconnect than in such a small space!

Hello

15:57 you don’t replace the transfer case. Replace the motor that engages 4 low. I had to replaced mine. Easy fix.

Question on previous transmission fluid video. Did the valvoline max life oil work ok?

Hey man! I'm glad a found a fellow 05 ml500 owner who knows how to do it's maintenance! I recently bought mine and am blue when it comes to this kinda stuff, keep it up! 👍
