Hi, its mainly when starting off in low gears so could be around 1500 revs, even the tick over when waiting at a stop creates vibration, when travelling along a motorway everything is perfectly find and smooth, I will need to do the engine mount check whereby you place the car in gear at standstill while pressing the brake and gently increase the accelerator etc to see if there is movement with the engine.

Just had my 2012 E Class estate rear subframe replaced free of charge. It has a full Mercedes service history and whilst it was in for service in June 2023, they sent a video showing me the hole in the subframe. I was informed parts were on back order and they will call me as soon as one arrives. 10 months later I had to slam on my brakes and the back of the car almost felt detached. At first I thought the front left brake was defective but then realised it could be the subframe. Took it to a local garage and yes the subframe was badly corroded to the point it failed. I called Mercedes who informed me to get it recovered as this will get my car seen straight away. 2 days later my car was ready to be picked up, not a penny to pay but I did opt for them to put under seal on whilst it was in. It’s definitely worth getting it done as it feels like a new car now!

It’s definitely worth getting it done as it feels like a new car now!
Obviously your situation could of been very dangerous but on a positive note the sub-frame was replaced very quickly... well as it should of been I suppose.... mrix
Several German companies sell a replacement silicone T pipe for getting rid of this gasket from the om642. I can't post a link without getting my comment auto-banned by youtube but Google "Repair Kit Intake Mercedes Benz CDI OM642"
Never heard of that but will do a search with your key words, huge thanks....mrix
I only have one sensor on the passenger side, is this correct? It's not a dual setup like the driver's side is.
Exactly that is correct.....mrix
Thank god for that, had me worried. Now my only issue is finding replacement speed sensor bolts. Plus one of mine is rounded off, guess it's a garage job for one of them.
Is it plastic? The chrome one
Hello, the original was chrome looking as you could see but they are made from some kind of hard plastic material..... mrix
How long did it take for you to get yours back? I sent mine in on April 15th and it’s still there lol wondering if I should call them or wait for a call from them ?
Hello, I left mine at my local Mercedes garage for 3 days, they did say it would be 2 days but they run into a few complications but 3 days in total.....mrix
Life saver ! Done it myself today
Its a job which is not really that complicated but saves a huge amount of money if you can manage it on your own! glad you found the video useful..... mrix
Yes absolutely yesterday I dropped my 2015 e350 rear subframe corroded and almost had an accident here in New York it’s covered under extended warranty they will replace it but my question is the new subframe isn’t going to have the same issue? Few years from now?
That did also cross my mind but we are likely talking another 5 to 10 years before any issues start arising again especially if they do actually use the same sub-frame used originally, mine lasted 9 years and if it lasted another 9 personally I have no issues ...... mrix
Mine has similar reactions to yours.
Is the oil on it from a split boot leaking on to the abs ring? Iv got the same issue with the warning lights on the dash. Hoping I don’t have to replace the ring to lol. Thanks
I guess your always going to get a certain amount of muck and oil being in the wheel and brakes area being there for over 5 years....mrix
@@mrix Iv solved the problem. I was looking to deep into it lol. I full locked the steering from left to right and felt it was stiff then the issue cleared up. Maybe an air bubble in the steering fluid. Who knows just a glitch maybe lol
This wasn't a good idea... Maybe you should have switched the crank case breather valve instead. 😉
Hi on these engines I am sure its clear to many that the crankcase breather no longer works, it may of been suitable on the engine when it was New but its clear it cannot cope with the amount of blow by you get with a older engine, I have replace the crack case breather twice now and I can assure you its not going to help on these aged engines, you stop the blow by oil by using my method or a catch can.... nothing else will help.... mrix
I used this product ( the petrol version) when my car failed its test. The mechanic said it was time for a new catalytic convertor. I used the product just as it said in the instructions. Went for a retest and passed without any problems.
Interesting, something to keep in my when a catalytic converter is mentioned for re-newel...... thanks mrix
Great video mate
Thanks much appreciated....mrix
Quick way to do it is book it in for a rear subframe inspection and they will see it needs changing and they contact Mercedes in Germany for authorisation to carry out the work and it will be free
Yes it should be a far easier and quicker process now..... mrix
Dave Evan’s helped me get mine done too.free of charge 🎉
Glad to hear that, it was him who started me on my journey to getting my Free subframe done..... mrix
I’m taking mine to Liverpool Mercedes on Saturday 27th April 2024 , I’ll let you know how I get on
Thanks and all the very best of luck with a positive outcome....mrix
Hey, the ulanzi case engraves the GoPro and leaves a bad mark on it, is there a solution for it?
Hi, when I was using the case I never had the problem so I cannot help unfortunately.... all the best mrix
@@mrix oh I believe I have an older version of the case, thanks for the response though, appreciate the message.
Mine is going in tomorrow- it snapped, which was scary because I drive up and down the motorway everyday
Now that is the most extreme thing I have heard to date... I dont think there should be any issue of replacing for Free in that situation... all the best ...mrix
@@mrix tbh I kept hearing a knocking noise when I went over a bump- thought of it my shocks- took it to my mechanic- nooooo it’s the subframe- you can’t drive it!!!! Tow truck booked to take it to Mercedes tomorrow
Thanks for tour effort. Did gréat. Bought a 100 000 km w204, after 2000 km, this shut happened. Nevers happened on my french and japanese car or m'y skoda. Shame for such a quality brand. Never Mercedes agaib for me cause it's poor quality and expensive price tag
Thanks for your feedback, I was quoted many hundreds for the garage to do the job and for me it was pretty much around the £100 in total doing the job myself... I am also a little disappointed in a car I thought was meant to be a quality brand.....mrix
