@@DaniilAKein thank you for the comment and I’m glad it helped🙏

Thank you 🙏

@@malachaipulido4528 nope

That should be fine 👍

Thank you! I don’t unfortunately but I’ll keep it in mind for next time I need to remove one and try get a video sorted

Will try my best man thank you🙏

The radar sensor twists into place on the back of the star emblem

@@jackgross3140 Thank you for that information. I had finally figured it out, put the bumper cover back into place and then realized I had forgot to put the center impact absorber back in place. That turned out not to fit right in the new bumper cover. I then had to put the distronic unit back into a locked position while trying to do it without a clear view. Now the entire bumper cover on the passenger side doesn't fit right and some gaps look bad. Back to the drawing board.

I don’t believe anyone has tried to fix this car already, it was brought to me in this state 👍

It would potentially be slightly louder

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m glad I could help 🙏

Make sure you have removed the E torx but that screws down from the top and the 10mm nut on each side holding the thin section of the bumper in place

Thank you for the positive feedback 😁🙏

Hey! Thanks for the feedback 🙏 the sensor that was disconnected here was for the pedestrian protection system, some cars will have this and some do not depending on specification options!

Is there any part number which i can use to search for those sensors as i think i dont have them install as i have an aftermarket front bumper

@@redec13 Open your bonnet and have a look at the bonnet hinges and see if it has the actuators, if it doesn’t have them and there is an empty space it’s more than likely your car doesn’t have the pedestrian protection system. I actually have a W176 A class and my one does not have it

@@redec13 A1769051000 is the part number for this sensor though

@jackgross3140 i have scan the ecu and have found 2 errors B273787 and B273687 impact sensor has a malfunction. Thank you for your time and attention man.

GLS is different unfortunately

@@jackgross3140 harder or easier? I don’t think it has the bolts in the trunk

Correct there are no 10mm bolts behind the panel in the trunk. Just needs a firm pull to release the clips

It’s the outside ambient air temperature sensor

Hi thank you for the comment! Unfortunately I didn’t make any money on the rebuild in fact I only just broke even. I just haven’t had the time to make a video breaking everything down sorry!

There are adjusters that can be wound up and down on the front panel to adjust how high or low the bonnet sits against the top section of the bumper, they are rubber stoppers. the only real adjustment on the bumper at the top is in and out using by slacking off the T25 torx screws along the top under the bonnet, hope this helps

That is the main connector for the bumper wiring harness

@@jackgross3140 What is its function ?

@@nikushagurgenidze6954It connects the parking sensors, pedestrian protection system and radar sensors within the front bumper

Thank you for the kind words mate much appreciated👌🙏

Thanks for the comment 🙏

Hi, thanks for the feedback! the part number for these clips is A0019915798 These can be used also on the door panels 👍

Thank you! 🙏

Hello mate, where abouts are you located? I can certainly help you with the job if you are not too far and willing to travel to me!

@@jackgross3140 I’m a Londoner mate, I don’t mind travelling either ! Also thanks for responding, your videos have made me feel the closest to understanding the car way better, I’m just not as confident to do it even though I’m a mechanical engineer for pumps and air con equipment 😅

@@THEYLOVELEON thank you for the feedback! I am in Northampton so I guess it’s not a million miles away, free to help most weekends if you was able to come down

It’s an impact driver from flex tools with an adapter for a 1/4 drive 10mm socket

@@jackgross3140 thank you ! is there a cheaper version to get underneath and remove the fender?

the screw you used looked long

is it like an right angle impact driver ?

@@user-ii5kt4ji7o you can use a normal 10mm socket and ratchet to un do these 2 on each side

Ahh mate I really appreciate the kind words and positive feedback! 🙏 Thank you!!

Happy days! Thanks for the feedback mate!

Trim clip removal pliers

If the bumper is already painted and just needs swapping over I would charge an hourly rate for labour of around £65 per hour

Hello, I am unsure of the exact size but you can use multiple different tools to remove them as long as you remove the middle part first, flat head screw driver would work

@@jackgross3140 Thanks. I'll just have to not break them, so i can re-use them :)

No worries, also a good tip is to spray them with WD40 as it helps the middle part slide out without bending or breaking!

Just double sided tape for the rest of it, be careful not to bend the trim

Apply pressure outwards and wiggle up and down at the same time and the tape will be released

@@jackgross3140 many thanks

Hey, it is an extra deep 10mm socket to remove the 10mm nuts. You can tape a couple of deep 10mm sockets together if you don’t have a super deep one

@@jackgross3140 thanks for the info , great tip about taping them together !!!!

@@jakegrace79no worries! They are usually not very tight from the factory, just tightly wrap some tape around the two sockets and it should fit over the threaded bar👌

Daughters had the car 3 years , suddenly noticed wet rear carpets . Bit of searching and found it may be the 2 air vents behind the bumper ( hence your vid being handy !) . Gonna replace them , in your opinion is this likely to be the problem ??

@@jakegrace79 hey thanks for the feedback! 100% the rear vents will be the cause of this as it is a common issue with the 176 A class! Most, if not all of them will have been affected with this problem by now. You can use silicone sealant to seal around them to prevent any water coming in
