Hi Benjamin and thank you.

Thanks for posting this video, I have to change my WP, Idler, etc on my CLK55. Very tight so looks like I will have to pull the radiator to even remove bolt for idler pulley but since WP make a bit of noise when I spin think have Radiator will facilitate process. Also sourcing parts from FCPEuro so will likely have to tap holes as well. Your video gives me good idea on what I am getting into thanks.

You have the option of taking your S500 to an MB dealer for an oil change. It will cost you around $40 more than if you do it yourself. There, you can ask them for a print out of your car's service history 'record. You will at least find out if the previous owner ever took the car to any MB dealer for repairs or service. You will find out if and when your water pump was replaced by MB, for example. You will be able to deduce how well the car may have been serviced. My suggestion is that the water pump be replaced at around 100,000 miles. Feel free to ask if you run into any issues. Good luck to you. The job is really pretty straight forward ..

Recently subscribed. Would you know if the procedure is the same for a 2000 e430? The water pump looks the same but the fan is mounted on the pump pulley. Is there a way to remove the fan without buying the tools?

This by far the best video as far as procedure. But if equipped with oil cooler put little 2 inch hose on water pump 1st. Be careful of the gasket it will walk on you. As you install make sure it's in place before torque down the gasket. Other than that it's a bucket of fun.

Good idea, but the thermostat goes one way at least with Mercedes stock parts. I had help with the power probe and my good friend helped me out with diagnosing, why the fans do not do not come on. Ok, there is a 100A fuse that is located on the positive side of the battery. After we applied power to the fan motor the low coolant light aslo went out. That light is tied into the fan circuit some how. Stay tuned once I get the fuses which are 8$ piece from Mercedes, special order only.

Did you do this coolant system overhaul as a maintenance task or were you experiencing issues with the cooling system?

@masood-tv

7 жыл бұрын

Hi Benz Man Sam - I did this simply as a preventative maintenance given my car's mileage stood at 96,000. The old pump's bearings were clearly loose. You can test yours by taking the belt off and turning the pump pulley. It should not be very loose and it should definitely not make noises. To see the difference, you could go to a local auto parts store and turn the pulley of a new water pump - not necessarily a Benz pump. Not replacing the pump in time can lead to damage. Besides, I was planning to replace the hoses, the thermostat and the coolant anyway...it all makes for a good combined maintenance job. The bulk of the time is spent locating and (un)screwing all the bolts. That is why I recommended an electric or air ratchet for the job.

Peace Masood! Thank you for providing the instructional video. After following all the steps, I am almost finish, except I cannot remove the pump from the block. All the bolts have been removed, but the old pump rotates a little but does not come away from where all 19 bolts were holding it in place. Can you please advise on how to pull the old pump away so i can place the new pump and bolt it down? Thanks again for the how to...

@masood-tv

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Thomas, I am sorry to read you are stuck removing the pump. Looking at the new pump as a guide, please once again touch the old pump at bolt locations all around and make sure all bolts are indeed removed. Also, did you remove the alternator? After double-checking, this is probably what you should do: have four hands and two pry bars ready, attach some thick cloth to the back of the prybars and place as leverage on places on the front engine façade where nothing else goes, inserting the prybars under the pump only in spots where the pump is not flash against the block, and then very gently while holding the old pump by one of the 4 hands, try in tandem to pry it evenly out. I wonder why you are replacing it. Is it preventative or due to the pump not working? If not preventative, it could be that the pump is rusty on the inside if the car has been sitting for a long time. I hope the inner components are not disintegrated. It ordinarily comes out with very little force.... Please update us on your results and progress. Good luck.

Hi, Thanks for your videos. From the labels and PI sheets, a 50/50 mixture of the below coolants shows Mercedes Blue to have slightly higher BP than Zerex G05 and G48. It is a slight difference that may not matter. Mercedes Blue coolant Q1030004, boil over protection 135C/275F. Zerex G05, boil over: 128C/265F. Zerex G48 :128C/265F. What is your opinion of Evans waterless coolant? It is lifetime and has a BP of 375, and since no water, very low pressure, thereby decreasing component stress and failure.

@masood-tv

7 жыл бұрын

Hi P I. Yes, as you noted, the difference is not that much. You can use Zerex instead of the MB brand and save a few bucks. As to Evans, I have never used it. If your car is still under warranty, I would avoid it. If it is not, you may want to consider the cost relative to how old or new your radiator and hoses are... Keep in mind that at some point, you may have to replace your old radiator or hoses (due to leaks) which would require refilling with Evans coolant at a higher cost. I would also search the internet and see if other MB owners have used Evans before...

@myreviews4905

7 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I have been told that since Evans has no water, there is no vapor produced such as a 50/50 Antifreeze/water mix. Therefore all your components last longer. I have a 99 SL500 just hit 100k and need to change the coolant. So I think I am going to pull the trigger. They have a prep fluid you have to use. Also it is lifetime coolant so you can reuse it.

@masood-tv

I'd check out the specs on Evan's website. You want to make sure you keep the water level to less than 3% in the entire system. I am glad you have decided to do it. Good luck.

Quick question if you don't mind regarding torque specs. I am also going to replace the water pump and thermostat with a friend who is more knowledgeable then me. I see you listed all the torque specs in detail. My friend probably knows but I just want to confirm there are 4 bolts on the pump to torque to 10nm? Also, I just want to confirm the location of the E10 & E12 bolts to torque and would you recommend any particular brand of pumps not to use? Again, I apologize for all the questions. Thank you very much

@masood-tv

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Andrew - I don't mind at all. I don't really remember the exact locations but if you turn to 10:06 seconds of the video, I have a map of all the bolts. I suggest you pencil all around the new pump on a carboard as I did and then as you remove each bolt, stick it into the map on the cardboard. The sizes of the bolts dictate whether you torque at 10 or 25NM according to the 12:34 second clip in the video. As to which pump to avoid, I would avoid all but the Mercedes brand nowadays since it is priced only a few bucks over 3rd party brands. I bought Laso which at that time was a lot cheaper. This job takes a few hours and requires a full coolant flush. Therefore, I would trust the MB brand to last the longest.
