Welcome to another video. I am showing you a common problem with the w204 command control center rotation wheel today. There is a plastic shaft that gets overworked and snaps. I bought this car at 118,000 miles, and it was already broken when I got it. So I cannot give you an accurate mileage as to when it gave up in this car. This shaft breaks and does not register the wheel spinning in either direction, all the while the other controls all work. Only the spinning is broken. To fix this, we take apart the gear selector section to expose the command control knob. Taking it apart, we found the broken shaft and replaced it with a new aluminum shaft. I would suggest buying the aluminum shaft rather than buying the OEM plastic as it's prone to breaking. I would also not advise gluing it back together unless you've got something more robust than epoxy, which I used. And it ended up breaking within a week.
I hope you enjoy the video.
God Bless.

GLA 250 Center Console/Cup Holder Replacement/Repair
Переглядів 2434 місяці тому
Welcome to another video, today we replace the cupholder/center console panel on a 2017 GLA 250. The old one has a broken cupholder and had to replace the whole panel due to the damage that was caused. I found the part on ebay through a used reseller. Quick and easy installation. Stick around for more videos. I will be posting more about my 2012 c250 in the near future. God Bless
More Boost with Diverter & Blow off valve C250 W204
Переглядів 3824 місяці тому
More boost and cool turbo blow off sounds with my new diverter/blow off valve from Go Fast Bits. In this video we go over how I went about installing this into my car. Ran into a big surprise when I realized I bought my new car with a broken old diverter valve prohibiting the turbo from working. Installing the new diverter allowed my car to run as it should. Increasing the power tremendously. V...
Just installed but I don’t get the blow off noise any idea why? It does sound a bit more aggressive when i step on it and noticed increase in speed
@@vryan4071 hey brother, make sure the electrical harness is fully clicked and connected, I had the same issue right after startup initially after installation, I started it and it was not making any sound I drove around, still no blow off sound. Then parked the car and waiting a few minutes, started it up again and it began working and the power change was huge, because my old one was shot. I would say give it a little while and keep starting the car and trying. If it doesn’t want to budge make sure you installed it correctly, and that the valve moves freely and isn’t blocked by anything. Otherwise, I would just return the part and order another one. Let me know what you end up doing
@ okay thanks brother I’ll check!!! 🙏
I’ve seen several videos about this, and yours it’s the best explained and easy to see (others the images are dark or unfocus, no so clear as yours). So Thank you!. I’ll try to do it in a few days. My car is not in so good condition as yours and I have several thing to repair. I just fix one tail light recently
@@EPEREZ-h6q thank you very much, this means a lot to me. Even if it helps out one person it’s worth it! Let me know if you have any questions during the repair!
great video! out of curiosity wouldnt a new cupholder come with those new clips attached to it and i could just replace it with a new cupholder instead of entire unit
nevermind i understand where it broke now
Yes it broke the actual plastic molding, I assume it could be fixed with some plastic welding but I dont really have the tools for that. Thanks for watching!
Sorry! It didn't show your previous reply but I see it now. Thanks!
Hi Tanisha, I’m glad you found it useful, and yes sorry but I didn’t find any specific place to buy it besides just finding something used on eBay!
This video is sooooo helpful. Thank you! Can you please share where to purchase the part? I have found the cup holder alone but I would like to purchase the entire panel.
Where do I get the part?
@@johnnyrogers3380 hey Johnny, I found mine on eBay, it was just one for sale and I bought it, just look up GLA 250 Center Console/cup holder and there will be a few that pop up if sellers have them in stock.
Cool video man! Keep up the good work.
Thank you sir!
🔥🔥
Thanks brother!
