Welcome to my new Automotive channel where I share my personal journey of my life and my love for everything automotive. I've been in the automotive industry since i was freshmen in high school taking shop class. My passion for cars came from the most cheesiest of places........The Fast And The Furious(original). So join me as I do what i love and fix, tinker, modify and have fun with everything "vehicle".
2020 can't be all that bad if the wife let me get this!
Well the wife out did herself again. Today marks 12 years of being married to my best friend. That means 12 years of putting up with a motorhead like me. I put her through a lot of crap with my project cars and all my various other hobbies but she loves me for me and I love her for it. Find the one that loves you for you and won't tell you to hold back your dreams, marry them and then never let them go.

New Package From Racing Beat Finally Arrived
May I suggest work lights for making videos? I could use experience to probably assume the work being done, but this is a visual platform, the wheel wells were too dark to see the work.
I might be mistaken, but is that a Mercedes Benz golf cart in the back?
This is definitely quite involved haha.
Thanks!
Can someone tell me what is the best brand to use for the coil pack
Bosch. They are the manufacture mb uses
I like your content with the GLK. I am having an issue with the climate control. Blower on high, but little airflow from vents. The air is cold.
Always change both? Coil & spark plugs with that p0302 code?
A special Mercedes socket isn’t needed to get the plugs out. Just pick up a thin-walled 14mm socket from your favorite online german specialty auto parts store.
Thanks.
My friend has a 2013 Mercedes Benz c250 it won't start and vibrates. what kind of machine do you have to test it? could I order it online? He has spent over $2k with the mechanic and he feels that guy scammed him and car is not still working.
Anyone know the airbox bolts size am missing both
there is a ticking noise coming out of the top left side of the intake manifold. The part kind of looks like a vacuum part with a hose attached to it, Do you have any idea what it may be? anyway I can email it?
I’m sorry but I need to see step by step how to remove everything. That’s what I need the video for. Not saying just pull this out and that out and pointing at them. How? Do you pull them out?! I spend two hours trying to pry the coil free from the wire. Couldn’t figure out the clip system. 😮🔫 I went nuts. Someone shoot me already.
Just take it to a shop
When i put off like maf sensor at air intake on c250 and Ive got check engine is on ...how i can to manual reset? To make check engine goin off... thanks
ALWAYS machine the rotors or replace them when doing brakes!!! This is what they call “pad-slapping” and it’s terrible. You WILL have issues if you do this.
per mercedes benz the rotor can not be machined if it is a genuine mercedes benz rotor as this would put the rotor below minimum thickness.
@@TheSAFiles then you should replace the rotor as stated.
@@hugecakefan you don't replace the rotor unless the rotor has a lip or is below min spec per mercedes benz
Thanks man, u got me!
You should have someone filming it getting close up and in a better light area so you can actually see what you're doing. You made a very informative video but at the same time useless. Take 2!!
Nice one
You don’t need a the Mercedes spark plug tool. You can use a 14mm 12 point socket
Just wondering if you could shake the camera a little more on the next video ,
can you get a go pro so we can see your point of view? It is harder this way. Thanks.
The standard size for that is 1/4 inch socket.
What is the special socket? 12 point ,14mm with narrow walls?
14mm 12 point
I got 2014 mercedes benz c250 same code P030200, Replaced ignition coil still misfire, than i check my injector on cylinder 2 not working cylinder is clear. Checked fuel injector in local Injector testing place, they said all injector works fine. Can be issue with PCM or ECU or any modules or wire issue?
Thanks for posting this...I have to do this on my 2011 S212.
Going to be a lot harder on my garage floor.
Great job well done Straight to the point.
Smart video.
Very informative. But how much do the parts generally cost.
This video is……………:….
Most dealers will Most Certainly sell you that tool.
May I ask: #1 cylinder is left front and #2 is right front? Thx!
If you are looking at the engine from the front bumper the left front is #1. The right front is #4. So it goes #1, #2, #3 on the left and on the right is #4, #5, #6. If you have a v8 it just shifts so 1-4 on the left and 5-8 on the right. Hope this helps
@@TheSAFiles thx a lot! Where to send the chocolate? ;-)
Cuando freno tiembla del lado del pasajero, es por eso verdad
all over the place
Very informative. Too dark to see close ups 10:55
How did you remove the ecu? I’m filling your steps but it is not remove.
ECU has no fasteners, its just snaped into rubber bushings. Simply pull straight up.
how think is that pin you used?
I love this engine . Best performing one too. I guess it worth it to do this service and the trouble since it such a good motor
I wish more vids were to the point like this.
Large c-clamp works better than channel locks
My car has this problem as well I bought 4 brand new oem ignition coils and they just got here today ! Got 4 of them for $190 shipped on ebay
Ridiculous that a simple spark plug change is made so complicated. Not sure what MB was thinking. Dealers quote was about $800 for me on 2012 ml350. Stupidity at its best. They need a learn a thing or two from the Japanese!
A screwdriver or breaker bar because the slide is spinning? This is why I do my own work. How about using the appropriately sized wrench on the nut that is on the slide?
How do you get that bracket out?! Lol removed all the screws I could find and it still won’t budge
There's a screw u take off the bracket on cylinder 5 spark plug
hey dude, you need some light on the subject, it was so dark totally unhelpful
How much more lower could you wind these down? Wondering if these coilovers can almost touch sill to ground
Because I did my math wrong on the front I had to leave them higher but they can go alot lower
They have two sets. This set is advertised as the lowered/slammed set where as the other one is the pro set and has more adjustability from slammed to raised depending on the set up you want to go with for different events or drive style.
Thank you 🙏
I was away Europe 2 months ran perfect now it’s running like crap same problem
Your shop is so clean. It’s a beautiful sight. Your lifts are pretty dope too
Bro thouse Isla work cabinets are sikkkk! Very expensive i gues your shop cares about work conditions
What's in the can sprayer ? Oil or grease
It's a "professional" brake paste made by wurth. Not sure if you can get that if your not a shop but as long as your using a brake paste and in moderation you should be fine. Just don't put it on the friction surfaces.
@@TheSAFiles no just me no shop I have had the family glk350 for 3 years never replaced the brakes is there something else u can get at local auto parts
@@TheSAFiles suggestions on brake pads beside the over price dealer iam sure cost as much as a tv lol I have replaced brake on my older vehicle in the past but never on thus car only oil change and air filters along with cabin filter replacement
@@geraldmcneal7110 yea they should offer to sell you some when you buy the brakes. Just a word of advice. You get what you pay for with brakes for benz at least. I recommend going with mercedes pads but if your trying to keep it cheap o'Reillys is who I recommend and get the ceramics they are the best for form and function.
@@TheSAFiles I just look on ebay and the set oem $85 for the whole front with sleeves and one sensor
