I've never removed spark plug boots that easy on a MB. What sorcery was this?!

when re-installing, install the the back one first it makes the process much easier.

I assume you used the notched steel tool to pull the metal wire terminals off the spark plugs. For less craft oriented shade-tree mechanics in the crowd, parts sellers sell a pressed steel open-end wrench that can be used to pry the metal wire terminals off the spark plugs. As has been noted, the MBz manuals suggest using compressed air to blow away any dust or dirt from the recesses before removing the old spark plugs. Be very careful to avoid cross-threading when you start the threads of the new spark plug into the aluminum threads in the head; some people recommend doing this by hand, using the plug socket and extension like a screw driver, rather than a ratchet to start the threads. Don't forget to use a torque wrench to avoid over-tightening the spark plugs. Very helpful.

good video betere than most Cheers

does it need to be unpluged the batter?

Good practice is to blow possible dirt out of the plug channels before taking the plugs out to avoid getting any particles into the combustion chamber.

Boris Olomi Yeah, he skipped a few things here. 😁🤷🏼‍♀️

some good info, but you skipped half of the job lol.

And the most important part of the job at that lol...have to make sure you torque the plugs to 27 nm and the coils to 18 nm.

'94 s w140 with low mileage perfectly cared for throughout it's life has a misfire....3 months now and the so called best benz mechanic in NY can't find it after new harness plugs and wires and coils....should I now junk the car?...thanks

Let's see that on something like a 1999 ML320. Tight fit on drivers side.

Would you happen to know the gap size for the spark plugs. I have a 2004 mercedes e500

What torque would you tighten them to?

hello, to be honest, i never used a torq wrench on sparkplugs but if so 40footlbs should be plenty.

I did EXACTLY what he did in the video and my car still has the shakes. *insert eye roll*

Have you checked the transmission and motor mounts? If worn out these will cause the shakes. Maybe fuel pump

Some say he's still trying to put that engine cover on.

I like the engine cover but at the same time its a pain in the ass , I have a 04 e320 😑

you should have included taking out the plug, installing new plug to avoid cross-threading which is way more critical than cross threading a screw on say...a game console remote...and the re-installation of the wires/modules....thanks for the video :)

Michael Jackson what is cross threading and how do you avoid it?

still working on my wires, pain in the rear

So ur not gonna show the homemade tool. 🧐

1st step should have been disconnecting the battery.

Hi

Probably the spark plugs are shorter. Make sure you get what comes with the car. Auto part stores can give you a little short or tall one which can mess up things.

Not a good video,,,, just a -3 pointx,,, you not showing how to deal with the coils on plugs when it get stuck ,, like 99 % of the time.

Good video but you should have turned that light on from the beginning! Thanks

Are we just not going to torque them? Nah? Cool..
