Thank you so much for this video! You saved me $200. I’m a woman, and usually take my car to the dealership for maintenance. But I found this video and the Mann filter for $25 so I figured I would give it a shot. I followed the instructions step by step and changed my filter myself! Took me about 30 min, that includes watching the video and searching through my husbands tool box for the right tools! Thank you!
That is awesome!!!
Mercedes dealerships charge you $100.00 just to answer their phone !! Thank you for this video. I recently had a simple oil change by the Mercedes dealership which charged me $297.34. Total rip off. Now, I buy the correct synthetic oil and filter from an ordinary auto parts store, then take it to Jiffy Lube and they charge me their standard $59.00 to put in the oil and filter. I have also found several good independent Mercedes mechanics who are great. NO MORE DEALERSHIPS !!
Thank you. I looked at my engine and thought ‘oh my, how the heck do I get to the air filter?’ and your video clearly explained it. I’m sure you just save me a lot of
money. I just changed the low beam bulb too. Nice little flat in wheel well helps with that.
Ivan, of all the videos that supposedly show how to change the 2016 GLE filter yours is the absolute best. You made the change so easy without any doubts. Thank you!
Just follow your tutorial and replace mine. Thank you!!! not sure how much you saved me but I'm sure it is at least a few bottles of TN whiskeys
Thank you for walking throw the step by step process. Your tips and explanations were extremely helpful so much that it gave me the confidence to change the air filter on my ML350.
That's awesome!! I'll be posting how to change the spark plugs and cabin filter within the week. Very simple
@@IvanSchlachter When you will upload your ml350 spark plugs and cabin filter replacement video? I don't see it available in your channel.
Not sure if you guys cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my gf lately =)
@Emmanuel Grey definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
Excellent video Ivan. I really appreciate how you cover all the key steps along with details on removal such as the air temp sensor and air hose clamp.
These videos are awesome. I inherited this exact vehicle from my parents and these videos are saving me a lot of money. I love feeling confident to do this stuff myself.
Perfect! I just replaced my Filter on my 2014 Mercedes ML350 4Matic watching this Video. Everything went great after watching your detailed instructions. And yes, I feel like I have a sense of accomplishment ! Thank you
Very good video. I have a 2014 C350 with the same, or virtually the same engine with the single air filter. This video helped a lot. Thanks.
I just take out my filter today and check. Easy to install. Thanks you for your information.
Best video out there to change the engine air filter for MB with similar engine configuration. Thanks !
Thanks! Hope it helped!
Thanks for the great video. Helps a lot. On mine, the two rubber mounts at the bottom were broken and fell off. I have been searching for the part but couldn't find it anywhere
Nicely done and easy to understand. Thanks for posting! Very kind of you
Thanks Joe!
WOW!! Thanks a lot man, tagged along with the video, and got her done!! I appreciate the video you posted. It was right on point!! Thanks again!!
That's awesome! to hear! I'll be recording more videos for the ML in the next few weeks.
Thanks Ivan, was able to get this done with your video. There were a few others that were not as good as yours. Cheers!
pyrolusite thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you were able to get it done! I’ve got a few more videos I’m doing next week. Cabin filter and spark plugs.
Perfect example of DYI maintenance for MB ML 350 and it will save a lot of $$$$$. Thanks
Thanks Richard!
Just finished. Thanks! Also, water pump pliers worked reconnecting the clamp.
Awesome!! Thanks for the like and reply!
Tutorial works perfectly for 16 W166 GLE 350. Thank you!
Great to hear! Thanks!!
Very good video
Thanks for the hard work
Thank you! Great video. I always let dealer do it for me. I didn't even know if they change it
Thanks! I'm about to post a video how to change your cabin filters and another about changing your spark plugs - very simple - and expensive if you don't DIY. Stay tuned.
Great step by step tutorial....THX
just saved $200 maybe more ! Thank You for your help ! thanks to Doru!
Awesome!!! Nice work!
Well done, sir. Thank you!
You rock, saved me time and money!
I had trouble with the last step on the clamp. Not sure I have it on there 100%, it seems to be holding, but I’ll monitor it, it wasn’t fully clipped when I went in there to begin with. Seems like it might be broken actually
Awesome man! Might want to grab a new one to safe.
$$$$ saved, thanks, the cabin filter, 1 pre and 2 carbon are even easier.
Thank you so much. Great video!
Just mine today. 2012 ml 350. Issues I had were. Air temp clip was hard to unclip. The push clip came off. Had to spray silicone stuff to put the clip in. That metal clamp was a pain need sidecutters. Other then that it was a breeze. My accord is 10times easier. Takes maybe 30 sec. This took me 30min
Best step by step video.
Thank you! Hope it helped out!
Also works on the e350. Good point on the air sensor.
Thank you for the video!
Great Video - you saved me money!
Fun fact, a 6 point 8mm will also work on those E10s
At :50, the video says to use an E-10 socket. A 5/16" socket works perfectly on these bolts too, if you don't have an E-10.
very thorough. thank you very much
I think Mercedes-Benz meant to replace filter by opening the filter housing by loosening the 3 torx screws but the 3rd screw closest to the firewall is in tight access unless you have a special90 degree torx wrench.
Great tutorial. Thank you
Nice. Thanks for your help
Thanks for the video. Just changed my air filter for my ML350. However, the gray plastic lever on the air temperature sensor just snapped. Do you know which part that is? I cannot find it.
Great job.
Thank you my friend for save my money
Luck easy , so I will try by my self
Thank you so much
Thank you for this video. It really helped me in changing my air filter.
That's great to hear! Thanks for the comment!
Great video
Very helpful. Thank you!
Awesome! Make sure you subscribe for more tips.
Good video Ivan, I'll be installing a K&N filter in my 2015 ML350 next week, this video will really help me. I'm curious to see the conditions that my OEM existing is in, it was replaced only 2K miles ago during the 50K service, we'll see. Thanks!
Awesome! I hope it does help! Have fun
How did your ML feel with the KN?
Thinking about installing one on mine soon
@@arturo8951 My 2015 ML is doing great! I took it on a 3,500 miles round-trip, gas mileage was improved, performance was also improved and this was 1 year ago I haven't cleaned the KN filter yet...
@@bernardpadin5410 Thanks for the quick reply my man👍🏽
Appreciate this sir👍
Great video!
Thanks!
Great Video, I am going to attempt this on my 2014 ML350. I don’t see link for the air filter ?
Thank u very much
I beleive same procedure works for Mercedes GLE 350
Like your harbor freight puck light they used to give away for free. 😁.
You Tube University! Thanks for the upload
Agreed..! ✌️
I have 2012 and this is the same exact location of the air filter bud
Cool, I didn't realize that when I filmed - Good to know. Hope it helped
Hi Ivan, i have the same M276/W166 2012 ML350. I used to get and am getting whistling noise on cold starts near the serpentine belt/pulley under the hood. I changed the 6 intake manifold gaskets and crankcase vent valve since I got the P2279 code for vacuum leak. This noise doesn’t come in warm season. Moreover it goes away after a few minutes (always used to go away after a few minutes and repeating the same) but there is no error code coming up now. I have seen various other videos if you can search on UA-cam as well where some suggested the crankcase might be the issue but I got to hear again this morning after coming back from the mechanic who did the replacement. Have you ever heard anything of that sort? May be I can share the video to you?
thank you for this video....~~
Hope it was helpful.
Well done
Thank you sir!
Do you have a videos on how to change the spark plugs of 2014 ml350? If so please share. Thanks
I’m going to be changing my plugs very soon. I’ll video it and post it ASAP.
I did it. Thank you
Oscar Lontoc - Nice work!!!
It work for 2015 ml350 thank you
Btw do you know for Benz is Necessary to change every 2 yrs?
I mean for brake fluid
Awesome! Glad it worked!
@@dodok961 Hi, Yes - Brake flush is due every 2 years or every 20,000 miles.
Rear Blake pads replacement’s too?
hello I need your help with the location of the camshaft bank 1 sensor sensor 1 my mercedes is a r 350 2012 what is the location of bank 1 the one on the right or the left thank you very much for your help
Hello Kevin,
Thanks for the great video. Can you please tell me which tool kit you used?
Hi, here are the tools needed:
- Flathead screwdriver
- Torx T25
- E-Socket E10
- Pliers (needle nosed and standard)
Air filter needed:
MAHLE LX 3140 Air Filter - OEM
(this vehicle only needs one filter)
Ivan Schlachter Thanks for thé reply! I’m trying to buy a tool kit to perform this type of task on my cars, especially, changing the brake. Can you advise a tool kit that can have the ones you used?
@@soumailasanogo5120 Check out these sets at Harbor Freight, these should do the job - www.harborfreight.com/14-in-38-in-drive-impact-e-socket-set-7-pc-67898.html www.harborfreight.com/14-in-and-38-in-drive-star-bit-socket-set-9-pc-67914.html www.harborfreight.com/tool-kit-with-case-130-pc-63248.html Hope this helps and I'll be posting two for video this week how to change the cabin filter and the spark plugs. Good luck!
Ivan Schlachter Awesome, thanks a lot!
Great
you don't have to remove the housing at all. just unscrew it open and that is it
Good to know! thanks
Do you mean unscrew those 3 screws and take half of the housing out and filter?
I think E-class have more rooms. That is ML so tight
U can't thers no room to just open it up
@@3232myke I've done it every time. Many times. you lift the housing up and unscrew it without removing the piping toward the intake manifold. You don't have to lift it that much.
Can you just un-screw the 3 screws and take half of the filter housing and filter out?
I've heard you can but I just remove the housing - pretty quick and easy.
Ref: My 2012 ML350 purchased in 10/11 has the same air filter & assembly. I bought a K&N reusable filter. .
I was considering the K&N filter but read that it was high air flow which is great for gas mileage and power but could shorten the life of the engine because it lets more tiny particles flow through the engine. Probably fine but I decided to stay with the OEM filter.
@@IvanSchlachter The K&N uses a filter oil that actually stops finer particles than a regular paper filter. All the off road & desert racers use K&N. Nothing wrong w/ OEM parts.
The video is very helpful, but I'm having a problem with clamp removal. Could you help me?
Sorry for the delay. What is/was the problem?
How did u get the clamp back on to the air filter housing? I popped it off but can't connect it back
Hey, it’s a little tricky but I used a pair of pliers and squeezed the connector back on with finesse- careful not too bend the metal. If it won’t go back on - you can get another clamp from autozone or Home Depot that works identical. Hopefully you’re able to get it connected
good job, i did mine without removing the whole filter housing. I just unscrewed the screws from the side and replaced it.
Good to know, I'll try that next time around. thanks
Does that really work?
@@deewademai yes , just open on the side you will be saving a lot of time and work
@@IvanSchlachter sure ! Thanks for the videos as well
I think the E-class have more rooms to work on. That is ML. Did you try on ML? I will give it a try next time. Thanks a lot
How different is it from 2012 W166 ML350 again pls?
I was under the impression the 2012 had two filters but I might be incorrect- that might be the 2011. Thought it was the 2012 as well.
@@IvanSchlachter That is right and hence I asked. Mines W166 and it started from 2012. I need to change the filter and it’s pending since last year :). I will sometime soon!
It has the same R350 2012 engine setup and filter
You are correct, I realized I said 2013 but didn’t feel like re-recording.
How offen you have to replace the filter
I change it every time I change my oil - around 10k miles
What is recommended mile to change ? Thanks
Drink Mr they recommend changing it every 15k - 30k miles.
What’s different again compared to 2012 ML350? It is the same M276 engine.
yes, good question. it's the same engine but different air filter components completely. the 2012 model uses two separate filters in different locations with different housing. I've seen many 2012 DIY videos so you can see the comparison.
Ivan Schlachter Hmm, the reason I asked was I got to change the engine air filter my 2012 and I saw only one filter and then there is cabin air filter which is different. Not sure about the other filter you are referring to. I have seen the videos and the forums as well.
World Peace - check out some videos with 2012 ML350s, hopefully they can help you. Good luck
Ivan Schlachter Thanks! I have seen lots before. There is pre filter and cabin air filters (these go together) which I changed last year. I also bought the engine air filter last year but will change sometime soon. Spark plugs and engine air filter change can be done together since the filter is on the way. Anyways, if you get more info, let me know.
You Blake’s too
Dealership never replace they just charge you for it 🤫
With the money you save by doing it diy just buy a clic clamp pliers and do it right.
what is going to save real money is the transmission oil service!
It's a perfect nose bleed that requires patience and the right ATF fluid... or 1Hr labor for a $2000
invoice - Which is it going to be??
so true!! Can you recommend a good tutorial for that on YT?
@@IvanSchlachter start with a search for your transmission model... 6 vs. 9 speeds.
Next figure what specific oil you need. Benz keeps changing ATF grades and color ...
Next check that you can read the transmission actual temperature with your ODB2 scanner (... under data)
Next get all the replacement parts or a kit. Of course they have you drop the pan and replace the one-time use aluminum bolts.
Supposedly you should drain the torque converter with its own drain plug... I would bet my shirt dealers don't mess with it.
One more reason to do it yourself for less than $100 - or better yet: do it twice at interval without draining the converter!
The key is to prevent build up of clutch sludge in the valve body.
Last, RESET THE TRANSMISSION adaptations so the shift points are relearned with fresh ATF.
🙂
@@glasser2819 Thanks! This is great info! I'm going to try very soon, I'm past 100k miles
@@IvanSchlachter perfect mileage to swap your passenger side tensioner and see how the gasket is holding or leaking.
( The oil pump design pressure is between 2 and 4 bars so when the gasket is ripe, pressure blows it out)
Again wrong video.You don’t have to take out whole air filter assembly .Just cover with 3 screws.
I just take out my filter today and check. Easy to install. Thanks you for your information.
Tony N - nice job!
