LOVE your organized work bench. The most important and critical part of any kind of repair comes down to your work space, tools, and being organized (Knowing where your tools are and having flexibility like short hand ratchet tools, extensions that are flexible, all the ETorx tools / sockets you need for mercedes, which for me has mainly been E10, E12, E16 sockets), and more

I wish I had more space. I try to make due with what I got. One thing I found is that the extension ratchet is irreplaceable for me and that I need better quality etorx bits. More and more cars are using these now, Mercedes used it 20 years ago. The new tool box however made a big difference for me. First time I had one that size. I love it.

Professional, straight forward and very informative without all the attempts at humor and going off topic. I appreciate this video and hope you make more, thanks!

If you DO get stuck with a new-used replacement that is incompatible, take heart. If the motors are the same, you may be able to swap them out. It may just be that the replacement has a controller that is incompatible. Best advice what TS said--get the same part number and a guarantee.

I watched this video 2 years ago to replace my PSE Vacuum pump on my 2006 S500. I replaced it with a pump I bought on Ebay for $185, with the exact part number 220 800 11 48 [07] and it worked for 2 years before I had to replace it again. That one has now failed so I had to replace it again. They didn't have an 220 800 11 48 but I understand that going with a higher part number works and the only one that was higher was a 220 800 12 48 [06]. So a 12 can replace an 11. This one cost me $70 more than my first one, but it was the only one that was available at the time with a higher part number. It works now.

That sucks that it only lasted 2 years. Thats the reason I like to replace with new or remanufactured. However, this pump is just too expensive new that's why I did the whole eBay thing. Yes, from what I understand you can go with a newer pump (higher number), but not lower. The only way to make that work is a "proxy alignment". Not sure what that involves but it sounds expensive. I hope this one lasts a lot longer than the last one.

Thank you. Yes I noticed when I blew the dust out I got a few more weeks of service before it finally completely died. On S600, maybe you got a leak in the hoses themselves? That pump operates locks and soft close. If the locks would have worked, I would have not changed the pump. But once the locks died I had no other choice. Disconnect the lines in the back. If you have a friend who vapes, blow some smoke into the system and see where it leaks. When I blew into the hoses with my mouth, I was able to lock the doors. My trunk hoses are bad and I do not have soft close there. Maybe one day in the future I’ll make a video of that, but it’s not on top of my priority. Thanks for watching and the kind words :)

Hi, my dad's 2004 S430 has this PSE PUMP problem, I think. I'm trying to determine whether to test for a leak in a line (how do you tell where the smoke comes out if the lines are all inside the walls of the car?) or just replace the PSE Pump. I'm wondering if a leak is unlikely if the remote control and interior auto unlock buttons do not work for both the trunk and the car doors? Since there are multiple issues does that make a leak less likely? Also, I believe the yellow fuse is blown. To hear the clicking noise in the pump does the key have to be in the car or does the car have to be running? Finally, for the part number "220 800 xx 48" does the xx represent the year of the car? I thought it did until I see in the posts and also on pumps for sale on ebay that the xx does not seem to be the year of the car? So I have to get at that pump first to get the part number, specifically the xx numbers? Thanks!

@Turbo_Snail

Жыл бұрын

Honestly you gotta have to diagnose one at a time. If you hear clicking you need a new pump. If you keep replacing the fuse, you need a new pump. If you have a line leak it will impact only whatever is connected to that line. There is a smoke machine for that purpose. You blow smoke in and eventually you see it coming out from behind a panel possible. Then you can take it apart and follow the smoke. Sealing a line shouldn’t be too hard. That being said, Mercedes from that vintage usually doesn’t have line problems but rather electrical. I would usually start diagnosing electrical stuff. In regards to the number, follow my instructions. Read more in the description. It must be the same or newer. Hope you get it sorted, good luck.

The parts are compatible I hear. The pump just needs to be coded to the car with merc software so it knows what options the car has. Im about to do the same thing.

Get a friend who smokes or vapes and have him blow smoke thru the lines. If there is a leak, it will come out places it shouldn’t.

No. Pull your pump out and check the part number. Every year is different. Sometimes they had several different part numbers within the year.

Could be a busted line. Maybe a leak. Blow some smoke through. You’ll see it coming out of the plastic lines are cracked.

Oh damn! That’s a lot of money. Nice car tho! Shouldn’t be much different from my story.

I don't think you needed to replace the entire pump. The rotor in the pump motor normal breaks and causes the fuse to blow. All that was needed was a new rotor.

Yeah, I didn’t figure that out until after it was done. However, I didn’t have to take it apart.

Where can I find information if I want to open the pump and try to repair it? Are there any pics or how-to's? Can I get more information about the rotor you're talking about please?

I was I formed by a few viewers that this was possible. I haven’t researched it, but MBworld.org has a ginormous forum with tons of knowledge. That being said, I can’t imagine a motor being cheaper than a refurb or used unit from eBay.

Thank you Daniel. I watched your video on the alternator replacement on your S430. Your sense of humor is awesome. 👍

Why when you had the pump out, you didn't you find which component is leaking air? You will be spending another $200 in a couple weeks, unless you just spend $35 and replace that motor that will keep burning up also in 2 weeks. Your seat air bladders probably leaking and are causing your pump motor to run constantly. Disconnect them and block them off, probably along with those door close actuators if you can shut them without them. This might just be your problem.

Thanks for your concern, however, if the car detects that a zone is running too long without a confirmation of a door closure for example, the car will then shut off that zone to prevent pump damage. That being said. This video is now over a year old and the pump is pumping just fine. The pump was old, 15 years old to be exact. Parts wear out. I've seen cars with 10 years on them and all components work, yet the pump just had it. The only zone that leaks is the trunk and that shut itself off the same day we installed the pump. Now we don't have soft close on the trunk anymore. Not worth fixing to be honest. If you have the MBII computer, you can go in there and reactivate any zone that has been shut down manually. Or, just disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes... after reconnect they should all come alive again. Happy wrenching!

What did the working pump cost ? My S320 pump motor burnt and damaged the circuit.. My part number is 1408002548. My car is 1994. I replaced the pump, but it failed. any suggestions.

Buying a used pump is like rolling the dice. It’s still used. Just get another one and hopefully you’re more lucky. I found mine on eBay. I can’t remember maybe $100-150? It’s been a while but all still works.

My door on my 500cl has not fully opening anyone else had this I can't get into my driver's seat please help😢

you talking about the lock? If yes, it's the Vacuum Pump. Ours started having issues with just one thing and then it went bad everywhere.

Mines gone on my sl350. Had mine out found burned out wires on the motor flixed that put it all back in still not working. I’m guna have to buy a new pump. Cheapest ones are £400 and that’s second which I’d rather not. Mercedes are absolute headaches

Oh man. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Search eBay. You should be able to score one cheap. Just be patient. I know it sucks not having that part working but your patience will be rewarded. It took me almost 2 months and I thing 3 tries. Mine was quoted new I think $800 just for the part.

Hi!

There is a lot of misinformation in this video. PSe pumps need to be programmed for specific features of the car. Programming can be transferred with xentry from an old pump to a new pump if the circuit board of the old pump is not damaged. These are not plug and play. In this car he was lucky and got a pump that was from a similar model with exact options.

Thanks for your input. Yes, generally you have to program these to your vehicle. However, if you match the numbers as explained in the video it will work. Many people have done it, I personally have done 4 cars like that. That would be a lot of luck. It’s the easiest and simplest way to do it without getting expensive equipment or professionals involved. Other people choose to rebuild the pump which is another way to do it. What counts in the end is that it works, for cheap.

Respectfully, you must be kidding. For it is possible to get just the motor you attempted to blow out for $50 to $100 on eBay or even a complete motor with the turbine for a little more without replacing the whole black box called "pump." The replacement of the motor is fairly straightforward.

That is true. And if you’re more comfortable gutting the motor I would say do that. It was easier for me to just not have to deal with it.

@@Turbo_Snail It is not so and I think there is a misunderstanding. There is no "gutting of the motor" whatsoever. You just remove the red and the black wire from the motor and push the pressure and the vacuum hose off the motor.

there is cheaper and much better way to repair this failure. The reason pneumatic pump stopped working and behavior are typical , inside the module there is electric motor and attached vacuum module with graphite rotator and blades. With time, graphite is weared out , and around every 200 000 km it start breaking apart, and finally lock the possibility of rotation, ti is easy to repair. Clicking sound is the engine trying to move , but physically locked and freezed by broken graphite rotor. All you need to do is replace the graphite rotor and graphite blades bought for about 60$ as "w220 central lock repair kit". That guarantee another 200 000 km of work, unlike buying another used module, which can break after few houndred uses. There is also another typical failure, after about 600 000km , the brushes inside electrical motor need to be replaced then . It is also simple repair ,and cost even less money. Module that you bought is probably already regenerated, it has been serviced and probably has changed graphite elements - that suggest a sticker on a side.
