W204 Cam Plugs & Centrifuge Cover Replacement C300 0009986590 A2720100631 (v6.10.0)
Link to parts I used in description ⬇️
Resolving some oil smell I was getting inside my C300 W204 while sitting idle sometimes. Was pretty quick to update and I believe we have resolved most of the oil leaks. Will do a followup video replacing the vacuum pump when I get around to doing that one.

When you mean smell are you talking about a burning smell that comes through the inside vents but also on the passenger side front?

Helps Desperately Needed….I Changed My Cam Plug On My C300…Once The Engine Builds Temperature The Pressure Pushes The Cam Plug Out Causing A Leak.What Should I Do?…Do They Make A Sealant Or Something I Can Put On It To Stop The Leak?
Awesome explanation! I have a leak in both the centrifuge and vacuum. Did you ever upload a video of the vacuum replacement?

They make gasket rebuild kits for the vacuum.
With camshaft plugs, did you see they were leaking or was this just a preventative measure? It's not clear from the video.
Hey man quick question is it only 2 caps needed to replace. I bought all the parts and it came with a bigger cap as well. But I'm not sure where it goes. I think it might be for a different model. I have a 2008 c300 4matic sport

Same did you figure it out?
yo man whats up? Im hoping you can help me. I just did my moms spark plugs on this car and 2 of 6 had oil in the spark plug tubes. Oil on plugs and bottom of coils. Is that tube seals/valve cover? or something else. Im a honda guy just helping my Mom out. lol I know on honda its tube seals but german..not sure. Thank you for your time.
oil separator inside centrifuge cover should've been replaced. they are the main cause for intake manifold failure.
The big plastic cover is the actual "centrifuge cover"?
Why leave a watch on? Did it get scratched? I’d have to take mine off.
Got an inspection done at Mercedes Benz and they diagnosed Timing Covers - Both Cam Covers Heavy Leak with a estimate of $1200 to perform the work. Is this different from what you just did? I know service is usually much higher at dealerships but not sure how it comes up to $1200.

that's a different job than this is.
would the cam plugs be the same as the expansion plugs that Mercedes is referring to in my repair estimate? " ENGINE CENTRIFUGE COVER IS LEAKING OIL. RECOMMEND REPLACING COVER AND EXPANSION PLUGS" is what was listed on the form given to me from MB.

and I see that you changed only 2 plugs the kit I got had 3? part # 0009985690 (which is the small box you have in the video) what is that for? and part # 0009986590. (which is the plugs themselves that you installed) what is part #0009985690?? I didnt see you open the box or do an install on that please help! about to tackle this project this weekend
So we’re there only 2 cam plugs ? My kit came with 3. 2 small ones and a large one but I can’t find the 3rd plug

There are two on the drivers side. One small and the larger cap.
I'm having an issue with my cam plugs. Once they've sealed tight after a drive I check on them and they seem to pop off to the point where they could potentially fall out. Any suggestions??

My c300 is leaking from the drain plug , i never changed the metal washer since i was doubtful about changing it. Would you recommend it? The bolt for the drainage isn’t stripped FYI

I been told to put black silicone gasket before reinstalling a new cam plug. But you did not do so I am asking myself do I really need to put some silicone !?!?
C300 2010 4matic sport. CEL LIGHT CAME ON TOO RICH TO LEAN BANK 1 & 2 . Changed the maf sensor & filters . Light still popped back on. Thought it would be fuel injectors changed all of those! Light popped back on now with misfires. Now i changed all my oxygen sensors along with spark plugs. Light popped back on with same codes. Could thos be a vacuum leak? When stopped and idled it has a slight sputter.! But when driving the car is fine.

B.trill Check the back cover that goes over the MAF sensor. If it's not seated properly it will give you these problems. It happened to me.
