I know this is an old video, but it has been very helpful. I wish more people made videos the same way you did this. No extra bull, just to the point, with detail. Awesome video! keep it up.
Wow! I'm so happy I found your video. I need to replace mine and looks like it's a do-able job. Thank you so much man! Please keep making videos like this.
I'll be doing this this weekend to my '98. Thank you so much for this vid! I'm no automechanic, but times are hard. A lot less expensive to buy a radiator for 200 and replace it myself than pay $1K to an autoshop, which is what all the ones around me have estimated. Can I email you if I have any questions between now and this weekend about this? today is July 1st. If you don't see this message till after the 5th, i'll be done, lol.
Fantastic video. I am doing my 2003 ML 350 and the only thing that you did not cover was that plastic bumper between the condenser and 3/4 of the way down. Might not have been on yours. Looks like a bumper separator.
awesome instructional video. easy to understand and great video quality. keeping the listener informed as to exactly what size wrenches you were using on each bolt was helpful too. some folks just say " now. remove these two bolts". you made it look like anyone could do this. thank you. ........i have a ML and it is leaking from the front left, passenger side on the bottom. not from a hose or anything. when i pour antifreeze in it runs right out the bottom. any suggestions? is the radiator drain plug on that side? could it be that?
You forgot to mention the difficult A/C Can mounted to the side [drivers] of the radiator with the star [e-type] bolt that needs to be loosen in order to get the radiator away from the A/C condenser, some shots were very blurry. Nice music and good flow otherwise.
nice. I'm trying fix mine. I have a leak. when I put pressure on it leaks from the drivers bottom but I don't see any leaks from the hoses. this is very heloful
right on man i just ordered new radiator and coolant reservoir tank this video really help but i just need to know how to bleed the coolant system but thanks
Looking forward to your coolant bleeding video as I will need it soon. Do I have to remove all the front stuff to replace the lower radiator hose...the big one on the passenger side? I have leak right now at the hose right where the hose clamp is on the radiator...easy to reach, but where it connects with the engine looks difficult to reach. I just discovered the source of my leak today and am ordering new hose tomorrow. (I do the simple stuff myself. I did a couple of UA-cam videos of my old Ford diesel Powerstroke, fuel filter replacement and air filter replacement.)
You can try & fish a quarter inch wrench with a 7mm socket with a small extension between the fan blades to get to the clamp, if that don't work u more than likely have to remove the fan to get to it .
thanks steve, this video was great.. Is this a good time to flush the Transmission fluid.. this is the most expensive part of the MB to keep it Healthy by changing and flushing the fluid.
How did you plug the ATF lines so fluid didn't run out? Looks like PS lines are rubber and easier to plug. I see a Mercedes plug set avail on the WIS which costs $$, any tech tip for keeping the ATF oil in and clean?
Sorry for the late reply, it's on the lower pass of the radiator, slowly open it first to control the stream of coolant with catch pan underneath, once again sorry for the late reply
There's a stupid (no need to say it, it's a benz) plastic pin that sandwiches the condenser to the radiator. This car didn't have it or it was removed in previous service. Is it reusable, disposable, expendable, etc? does anyone know how to release it?
He mentioned the washers that need to go back into it, otherwise it will leak. Also, take note, it's easy to cross thread them which of course is a a big no no, make sure yours are threaded on correctly.
Stevie, I'm late to the prom here for the radiator instructions, although I wondered if I could request your insight? One my vehicle was running hot, though only due to not charging the ac so the fans could run to keep the cooling fans functional, and so when I did, noww it does not overheat, yet there appears to be a small drip on the bottom driver of the radiator.
Additional, I also after returning from a long drive, went to check the ac charge with the meter however dropped and in the process had to crawl on the side behind the passenger wheel and noticed a slight bit of coolant and as it so happen to be evening, then noticed a slight white smoke, yet again, it's not overheating...so I'm sort of confused. I would definately appreciate any information; I am disabled, had to remove my rgo brace just to get barely under and pray that it's more obvious to you as to what it is and an uncomplicated less muscle type of repair or suggestions to manage. Sincerest

I have an '02 e430, but the engines look very similar, so this helped a LOT. Thank you! Liked and subbed.
Good video bro. Straight to the point. Thanks

I am dealing with that now, it looks like his was not even connected to begin with. I don't have that wrench and most people would not either.
Thanks a lot, one of the better how to videos ,How do we bleed the system?

Stevie Kicks Thank you so much. We'll do that!

This video is much better in that he didn't open the ac system.
Awsome video! 👍
thanks steve, this video was great.. Is this a good time to flush the Transmission fluid.. this is the most expensive part of the MB to keep it Healthy by changing and flushing the fluid.

video was great Im trying to change lower radiator hose on ML 430 do you have a video for that?
With the ml430 year 2000 is it the same?
Yooo thank you for this video no cappp you get to the mf point
how many times do you have to bleed out coolant because I have a 1996 Mercedes Benz E320
Like the video. I am going to attempt water pump, pulley, belt change. Do you have these videos also
Sorry I don't have vid for those
Thanks Bro... for the video... but how do you remove the coolant without making a mess? I have the new radiator and don't see a drain petcock....
Sorry for the late reply, it's on the lower pass of the radiator, slowly open it first to control the stream of coolant with catch pan underneath, once again sorry for the late reply
I know this video is old, but will these steps work on a 1997 Mercedes Benz E-320?
can we get better view on how to crank shaft position sensor on 2001 grand cherokee thankx for the how to, awsome
Thank you Stevie
Great help👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks ❤
Thanks, where are you located?
Love your video man
Good video. Thanks!
Thanks
How do you bleed the system? I cannot find
There's a stupid (no need to say it, it's a benz) plastic pin that sandwiches the condenser to the radiator. This car didn't have it or it was removed in previous service. Is it reusable, disposable, expendable, etc? does anyone know how to release it?
After I replaced the radiator, I have a transmission leak at the nut on the radiator. What should I do? Thanks.
He mentioned the washers that need to go back into it, otherwise it will leak. Also, take note, it's easy to cross thread them which of course is a a big no no, make sure yours are threaded on correctly.
i got mercedes s430 amg been smoking from under hood a little after driving a couple miles, it wont hold coolant, what do u think is the problem?
J Reid Your problem sounds like a headgasket leak.
Where are you located?

Nothing Cummings in you guys face. LOOOOOL
Yankee boy. i hear a Jamaican boy a twang.
