I hope this video was helpful for you. Thank you for watching, and good luck with your repair! : )
Thank you for your informative video if only I had watched this before watching the water pump replacement. Was able to get the fan and shroud and water pump out in one careful process. The on the bench had a hell of a time removing but managed to but gonna make my tool to fasten the fan now.
Best, most detailed video I have ever found. Not being familiar with Mercedes vehicles, this made the job so easy I felt like I had done it many times after watching. The links to locations in the video is awesome! Thanks YOU for taking the time to do this!
Wow, that's great! I'm glad the video was helpful - thanks for your comment, and thanks for watching! : )
Thank you for sharing this knowledge, Pablo from buenos aires argentina
Gracias! And thanks for watching! : )
Awesome! I’m glad to see that you’re still making w163 videos! Your videos are incredibly well thought out and have been an excellent resource when it comes to maintaining my ML430. Thanks for the videos and the excellent time stamps you put in the comments!
Thanks! I am hoping to make some more W163 videos, because we now have a scrap vehicle (the ML350) that I'll be taking apart to some extent. So, hopefully I'll be able to make some more videos : ) Thanks for watching!
That’s great to hear! I’m looking forward to seeing what you upload next!
I never comment on youtube videos but I wanted to thank you for making this video. It was so helpful! Now you need to make a video on how to avoid breaking your knuckles when a bolt comes loose. I have like 4 large gouges after changing the power steering pump on these bad boys.
Haha! I know what you mean - there's never enough room for knuckles!
Thanks for watching : )
very good Video, nice sound and explanation
Thank you, and thanks for watching! : )
Best mechanic on UA-cam! You explain properly and easy to understand
Thanks for watching! : )
Smarty-pants good job thanks for the tips Ty…..
Haha, thanks for watching! : )
Excellent video. .😊😊
Thank you! And thanks for watching : )
I replaced the viscous clutch (Viscous coupling unit) of the fan on my M113 (CLK430) after 25 years and 140,000 km as a precautionary measure. In doing so, I discovered that the externally flawless clutch was probably completely blocked internally. The clutch transmitted almost no power. The clutch was leaking internally. After the replacement, the engine water temperature was finally stable again. The clutch is therefore a component that should be replaced as a precaution. The consequential damage can be very expensive.
Best regards from Germany.
Great w163 videos, I used your video to change the oil cooler housing gaskets, bought the parts you suggested. It worked like a charm, the leak is fixed! Any plans on showing how to replace oil transmission cooler lines? Thanks
Wow, great job on your oil cooler seals DIY! Yes, it is great to get that messy leak resolved.
Regarding the trans cooler lines - I have replaced them before, and also done the repair version using with Oetiker clamps (less expensive option). I might be doing that repair on another W163 in the near future, and if I do, I will record it : ) Thanks for watching!
hello madam, did you have technical interventions on mercedes G Class, repairs on common problems?
19:07 this is not a OE clutch, it is an aftermarket service part, from a goot german company ... but produced in china.
I would like to have a link to a store where I could buy spare parts online for this Mercedes G-Class, if you have any, thank you.
The old fan is roughly 7 1/4 inches in diameter the new one is a little smaller 7 inch, the plastic fan housing has a tab that fits in the clutch fins around it and securing it there would be a problem ?
No - personally I would only stick to a direct replacement that has bolts securing the fan to the fan clutch. The fan is spinning very fast, and often, and if it dislocates from the clutch due to a misfit, it will hit the radiator and likely destroy the radiator, requiring a tow and new radiator.
It sounds like you were sent the wrong part: I'd return that part and stick to a direct-fit replacement that uses the bolts. I hope that helps!

Still working on the w163!! I remember fixing some things on mine years ago thanks to your channels guidance.
What's your mileage now? I'm very proud of my 208.000 miles, car runs better and more reliable than ever before, after catching up on all the maintenance.
The '05 ML500 has just 160K miles or so, I think - and the '03 ML350 is, I think, 175K or so (I can't recall of the top of my head). The ML350 will be parted out/scrapped over the next few months because she's got a rear main seal leak and two "iffy" catalytic converters, as well as a mouse that just won't leave the AAM & fuse box wires alone! (she is also already a salvage title from a previous collision/roll over, so she's not worth much more than scrap/parts now) But she was a great truck for my sister for over a decade, and I hope to make some more videos on that ML350 yet.
That's great that you have 208K - they will run for a long, long with maintenance! I met someone at the junkyard once who had over 400K on his '01. Thanks for watching : )
