thank you mike. People save money by doing some of these things themselves. paying 800.00 for something that can cost less than 50. bucks is certainly better.
...Perfectly done video, David. Great tutorial! You are very good at this! Thanks for your expert help...you saved me a ton of mony! Gratefully, Parker
Oh wow, I had a similar issue with my 2019 C Class. The mercedes dealership told me “it’s totally common for my vehicle to lose some coolant” but i don’t think they realized the extent of my leak. Another specialty mercedes mechanic in town estimated a 1,200 gasket replacement. I wish I would have seen this before trading her in!
Questions: 1. When you take off the old top tube (air), the one with the factory band, how do I take it off? Never understood how you got the old band off? 2. I bought the special hose clamp tool but when i use it the tube gets pinched when the clamp is compressed and the old tube will not come out. Suggestions? Appreciate you putting up with my questions
Removing the old tube I wound up breaking it and using plastic cutting pliers. I am sorry I didn’t get that on video. Don’t waste time fiddling with it, just break it into pieces to get it out. Makes like so much easier. Once you break it then you should be able to get the hose plies on that band easy.
My car is leaking coolant and throwing the same warning. I just spent 1100 at the dealership a month ago on a new part for my turbo and got a service b
You never know with dealerships. I hate it that your are having to pay out like this. If either you could do this work or have some one willing to help you rather than a dealer. Usually the good thing about dealerships is they will fix your problem, but the price is sometimes outrageous.
Excellent video. I used your video to do this same repair. The only problem I'm having is the very front connection of the coolant tube where is slides in and the clamp clips down on it, mine is leaking there. My replacement pipe did not come with any o ring or anything there so I used the old one but I'm not sure if I got it in the correct place or not. Any advice?
Oh wow. Yeah you definitely need a new one-ring in there. The old one will leak for sure. I would order a new kit. They are fairly cheap. I wish I had better advice. Good luck bro.
I have a 2014 C250 with the confirmed leak thanks to your video, however i cannot find the available part on amazon. do you have any new link? also will the new tube also fail after a few years? Its unfortunate to see so many people have the same issue with this vehicle.. I wonder what other common problems your familiar with these having? Supeerb video My sir, thank you.
Hey. Thank you very much. Here is another link. amzn.to/3L7i7Bi These new plastic tubes should never fail. Not sure why Mercedes is having an issue but you should be fine with the new piece here. I’m not familiar with any more common issues, but if any arise, I will be sure to make a fix-it video. Take care. 🤙🏼
Wow so helpful. My mbenz dealership in Toronto Canada said it's $1445 to replace the coolant line! 995 for 5 hrs labour and 450 for the part! Could this be right?? I should note it's 2018 c300 - same process and cost you think?
Yes the Mercedes dealership is going to ransack your wallet for sure. The 2018 c300 part is different than my 2014 c250. Here is the link for your tube. amzn.to/3ZnEZTB
The part on Amazon is not available. I found a number of parts on Amazon that are a lot cheaper (under $30). But the part numbers are all over the place though they say compatible with C250. Are these other parts ok to use?
I have a 2015 C300 it is pouring out coolant out of nowhere. I’m trying to see if I can find that hose you’re speaking about but I don’t see it when I open the hood.
Ok, when you open the hood. Look to the passenger side of the engine. Under the side of the plastic engine cover. You will see a metal or aluminum piece sort of flat. Look to see if coolant is puddling on it. If it is then the black tube is right above that metal pan. Rewatch my video and pause it to be sure it’s the same type leak. Let me know what you find out
My c w203 gets the water from the cap but no raising temperature i have water leak sure but that say head gasket and testate but i think is a tube problem
Absolutely not in my case. It’s a plastic tube that flows extremely hot liquid day in and day out. The plastic was deteriorating cracking thus causing the leaks. I always say if you’re going to do a job do it correctly. It’s a very cheap part that will require just a few hours of your time.
I had the same problem, fixed it and ran fine for months. Now I have another leak and don’t know where it’s coming from and it doesn’t happen all the time so it makes it hard find. I’m thinking it’s the hardline idk.
Oh wow. Thank you for letting me know. Hopefully that info will make things clearer for other subscribers. Mine is the 2014 c250 so maybe things changed at some point. Do you have a leak in that area of the engine?
Guys, mine had the same issue, I've fixed it, and was fine, but one month later (yesterday) It showed de massage again, but this time I can't figure out were is the leak. Anyone has an idea of were it can be? (Mine is a C200, 2013, with 150.000 Km)
Thanks for the video. I will be making this repair with your guide. I have one question. The OEM coolant tube is exactly the same part as yours A2710105701 but the link in your description and one in the comments you link 2712002452. I have a 2014 C250 are your amazon links correct?
@jamespatterson6463 Awesome! Remember if you have to break the old one into pieces getting it out then that’s cool. Don’t waste valuable time trying to avoid breaking it since it’s already broke. Haha. Ask me how I know. lol. You got this man! 🤙🏼
thank you mike. People save money by doing some of these things themselves. paying 800.00 for something that can cost less than 50. bucks is certainly better.
You are most welcome. I’m so glad I could help. 👍🏼
Wanted to thank you for posting this. I finished the job and no leaks and working great. Thanks
You are most welcome. I’m glad it turned out great. Also glad you saved a ton of money by not paying the dealer to do it. 👍🏼

Right here on Amazon. amzn.to/41twaKR

I’m having it towed to the dealership now Do you think they’re trying to get over on me

Hi, excelent video , do you know how to go out the air in the coolant system?
Thank you, I honestly don’t know how to do that. I think they have to put a vac machine on it. I wish I were more help. Sorry.

@@LivinWith3Morder a new pipe kit? Or o ring kit?
@@LivinWith3Mdid the pipe kit you got come with a new o ring? Mine did not.
@TheDougJohnson I would just order a new pipe kit that has the oring with it. To remove any chance of things not fitting up.
@@LivinWith3Mgot it. Thanks.
Thanx a lot sir for the vedio!!am gona fix mine
You are most welcome. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. 👍🏼

I have a 2015 C300 it is pouring out coolant out of nowhere. I’m trying to see if I can find that hose you’re speaking about but I don’t see it when I open the hood.
The leak is so bad that when I put new coolant into the reservoir, it just pours out from the bottom
Ok, when you open the hood. Look to the passenger side of the engine. Under the side of the plastic engine cover. You will see a metal or aluminum piece sort of flat. Look to see if coolant is puddling on it. If it is then the black tube is right above that metal pan. Rewatch my video and pause it to be sure it’s the same type leak. Let me know what you find out
@@grant242it also can be your water pump if not those hoses.
@@genarogranados3093 turned out to be the water pump. Got a replacement from parts geek
@@grant242 nice glad you found the problem. I have replaced those hoses also and then 2 weeks ago I replaced the water pump myself same problem.
Is the part number for the tube the same for 2016 C300s?
I just got through checking and I think the 2016 C300 has a different type tube. I’m sorry. I really wasn’t aware until right now either.
Did notice your bolt on back side of brake reservoir is not screwed in completely
I appreciate that. I will go double check first thing tomorrow. 👊🏼
How to ensure the quality.....?
I’m not sure what insuring the quality means. Please expand.
My c w203 gets the water from the cap but no raising temperature i have water leak sure but that say head gasket and testate but i think is a tube problem
I agree to start with the tube. It’s a lot cheaper than jumping to head gaskets. Just my opinion. 🤙🏼
Could you not have just sprayed it with some Leak Seal? Would that not have seal that tiny crack in the rubber hose?
Absolutely not in my case. It’s a plastic tube that flows extremely hot liquid day in and day out. The plastic was deteriorating cracking thus causing the leaks. I always say if you’re going to do a job do it correctly. It’s a very cheap part that will require just a few hours of your time.
@@LivinWith3M Excellent point and explanation. I will be checking mine soon.
@@LivinWith3M Also, the part in your description, will that fit a 2014 Mercedes C350?
Daniel, I just did some research and I think it is different for the 350. This one here should be the correct link to the 350 tube. amzn.to/40zUrhr
I had the same problem, fixed it and ran fine for months. Now I have another leak and don’t know where it’s coming from and it doesn’t happen all the time so it makes it hard find. I’m thinking it’s the hardline idk.
Oh wow. I hate you’ve ran into another leak. If I experience it or get any idea of where yours is leaking I will try to help. 👍🏼
@@LivinWith3M thanks👍
I have a 2018 c300 and my motor doesn’t look like that. I took off the cover and it doesn’t have that part 😳
Oh wow. Thank you for letting me know. Hopefully that info will make things clearer for other subscribers. Mine is the 2014 c250 so maybe things changed at some point. Do you have a leak in that area of the engine?

@@LivinWith3M I know what I will be doing this weekend. Thanks man!
