Great to see this is, another option, 👍 rather than removing the exhaust or alternator , and some remove the front suspension wish bone..

Thanks! Be aware that it seems to be an option for AWD-variants only.

Thanks for sharing this. I will be doing this soon on two ML350's (both w164 and w166).

Be aware, procedure is different on every application. Changing the mounts on a 4matic E-Class is one of the easiest tasks and nevertheless took me a day...

@@AUTOdidact77 True. I will not be able to take the mount out through the wheel well like you did. I will have to either remove exhaust or remove alternator + a/c compressor. *sigh*. I might opt to do it via exhaust.

Will this work for a 2004 Mercedes-Benz E 500 base model

I don't think so. The model year won't make a difference but I guess the completely different suspension setup (of non-4Matics) would prevent the mounts from coming out as shown... Thanks for watching!

W211 motor mount for smaller engines looks different. In some videos it looks like they have compressed down by not less than 15mm vs yours by 5mm. Was your E500 have an subtle improvement in smoothes or lesser sound intrusion which is well worth doing it?. I plan to get my mechanic to change it along with few other parts. My car I bought it 18 months back and without any service records. My mechanic says it is in reasonably good condition and he says change parts only when required so that not to inccurs repair cost when time is not yet due. However I do not mind to gradually put in total USD5500 for parts & labour small fixes and workshop is just 6 miles away. I am now aware more that inter relate fixes, done in batches, need to be well plan & no rush to keep cost down. Piece meal one fix at a time will push up total cost. Thanks. Regards.

Actually it seems the old mounts were still good on mine - no improvement at all... My (vibration) issue seems to come from somewhere else, so I´ll try the rear mounts next. Thanks for watching!

Will this process work for a 2008 C300 4MATIC luxury sport?

I can´t tell you because I don´t own one... The procedure is very special on each MB application, but simply take a look inside the wheel well: If the mount is visible from the outside already and not evidently blocked by suspension parts, it could be achievable that way. Btw: You may need some offset socket extension to access the upper bolts on the W204.

This may be a silly question, but may I ask why you jacked the car up partially before driving it up on the plastic ramps?

Actually I wanted to use jack stands only which had enabled me to remove the lower cover AND change the mounts easier with the car in an upper position (turning the wheels would have been possible on stands but wasn´t on the ramps...). However, soon I lost confidence in my floor jack and changed my plans. Thanks for watching!

@@AUTOdidact77 Ah, I see! Thank you, my friend.

You are the first person i've seen do this with an actual engine puller or whatever that machine is called. Is this better than jacking up by the oil pan?

@AUTOdidact77

It's an engine hoist. I already had one on hand (from my Jaguar project) and was afraid to damage the oil pan as well, so why not use it?

Hallo, bei meinem M272 steht auch der Wechsel der Motorlager an. Kann ich sie irgendwie kontaktieren ? LG

Meine Mail finden Sie auf der Kanalseite - kann aber wahrscheinlich nur weiterhelfen, wenn Ihrer auch ein 4matic ist. Bei heckangetriebenen Modellen soll sich die Angelegenheit schwieriger gestalten...

STRUCTURAL FRAME or removable SHIELD?? : my car is a 2008 e350; IN YOUR VIDEO when you have the front wheel turned and can see the engine mount, well, my car has something blocking that view, its is either STRUCTURAL FRAME or removable SHIELD; it has what appears to be an aluminum shield that surrounds the interior of the engine blocking the view from the wheel well. Can you shed some light on if what's blocking that view is the FRAME or is it a removable shield? the shield appears to be welded in place or some kind of adhesive that looks like welding please help

Is yours a 4matic as well? The shown procedure doesn´t work on RWD vehicles because of their completely different front suspension...

@@AUTOdidact77 ok, I see that this shield is aluminum and it is screwed in where the head of the screws is accessible from the wheel side after removing the wheel well liner. IN YOUR VIDEO it appears that this aluminum heat shield surround HAS BEEN REMOVED, allowing for the direct open view of the motor mount. With this shield in place, the view to the motor mount is blocked. CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT THIS ALUMINUM SHIELD WAS REMOVED ALLOWING VISIBILITY AND ACCESS TO THE MOTOR MOUNT FROM THE WHEEL WELL?
