- Showing a fix for a malfunctioning tilt on our Mercedes.
This video specifically looks at the repair and reassembly of the tilt, OBD2 port and hood release handle on an X205 Mercedes GLK-250.
This repair can likely be applied to many other Mercedes cars with similar style tilt mechanism.
Awesome! I will try this. The auto memory tilt stopped working recently. Same make and model. Thank you.
I used this method to fix the steering column on my 2016 E400 and it worked like a charm! thank you!!!
Glad it helped!
Exactly what did and it worked. Did have to use the pliers also to loosen it. Used lithium grease.
Thank you for the video..
This helped me out a lot thanks a lot mine made a click sound and loosen up that screw he says and tadaa fixed again thanks alot
You’re welcome! It was difficult to get good camera angles while making this video. Glad it helped (even though the camera was wiggling around half of the time).
Worked for me BUT I did not take the data port clip out instead I slide mine sideways, saves 2 screws.. maybe different on a 2014 C300? Either way, thanks so much; dealer wanted 350!
Going out to try this on my 19 E300. Why is it every time my wife drives my car something happens? 😒
Good luck! I’m curious to hear if this fixes your issue.
I thought the screw holding the hood release was a torx 20 but is a Phillips #2 (I couldn't see it) thanks for the video!
You don't need to disassemble it. If you do not use it for a long time, it gets stuck. If you forcibly lift the handle with your knee and move the tilt upward, the stuck thing will come off and it will work normally. hahahahaha
I actually did try to lift the steering wheel with my knees and operate the tilt switch, but it wouldn’t break free for me.
Eventually you have to go in there and lube it to get it loose.
This is an issue in a lot of Merc! Why cant Mercedes fix this already????????
