How To Change Mercedes W203 m271 Camshaft Magnets 

I don't do many car videos, but I have been under the weather and I need rest. I never published this from a little while ago, so I thought it was time. Want to see more or you prefer tech?

Hello, what about the crankshaft position sensor? Have you done any of those on the C230?

Any tips or videos on how to change the coolant water pipe that goes from the oil cooler to the cylinder head?

When you loosen the bolts are they pretty easy to just come right off I tried to take them off but I felt like they were pretty tight on there

Thanks for the nice video. Actually both magnets have this silicon leaking ring rubber right? What was this think which you put in the center? Some kind of rubber isolation?

I replaced my timing chain and cam gears, aftermarket cam gears. I still hear a cold start noise from these cam gears when the oil drain from them. Is the only way to have a quiet cold start to use geniune Mercedes cam gears?

I found oil inside both of the camshaft magnet electrical plugs but there is no oil leaking around the magnets. Do you think the magnets are bad or do you think if I just replace the orings and the problem is solved? there is no codes showing up at all. thank you!

Hi there, just checking if you or any of your subscribers have changed the bearings on the aircon compressor pulley for a 2001, W203 C180M?

Hello, what are the colour arrangement of the wires going to the camshaft position sensor (intake side) for this model? I have some problems with the wires mixed up after the connector got broken.

Nice deviation! I love cars and all the tech and mechanical work that comes with it! Nice vid. Keep it up!

Any idea what the error of open circuit in the wiring of those magnets in my 271 might mean? How do I check the wiring?

Nice video. It would've been good to show the insertion of the center rubber grommet

Thx for sharing, i have to this in the next days at my c200 kompressor with 121000km from 2007.

Do more car vids on this car 😩😩

hi I have E 320 1997 I have the camshaft magnet ready to install but doesn't have a O ring gasket is only metal do I have to put sealer silicon to avoid any leak I call dealer and asked and they said... doesn't need any gasket

I noticed mine was leaking too. Will this cause a misfire?

Hello There is an error code in my car What is the method of reform? mercedes-benz c200 komp p0170 fuel trim bank 1

Hi zollotech and thanks for your video. What are the trouble I might come with these sensors ?

Hello. On my C180 1.6 Kompressor W204, oil is appearing under the cams. Do you know what the problem is? Tks

Can you just replace the seals? what made you want to buy new magnets? I found mine are leaking pretty badly today, and want to clear it up, but I do not have any codes that warren replacing the whole units.

Yes sir, can you plz help me out with my problem, I had 2009model c200 kompresor,troble code p0045 and it's say supercharger boost control solenoid circuit A open, but where is it, I cannot find,hope youwill answer my question, tnx

Hi i wanted to ask if you got any trouble codes with this issue, as mines coming up with P0366 camshaft position sensor bank 2,, or is that a whole different issue?

Before anyone changes these cam magnets make sure you have power coming out of both wires that attach to it. I think one wire is 4.7 volts and the other wire is about 12 volts with the key turned to the second position.

Hola .. mí padre tiene un c200 kompresor y le cuesta arrancar.. el año 2007... Y vi en varios lugares en internet que ese aparato es el que se rompe y produce ese tipo de falla... Será este mí caso?

what could be the failure when they leak?

I have just changed mine on my SLK 200. Quite a simple job. Have anyone know why it should leak? And why it is designed in such a way that it leaks? And most of all have anyone ever dismantle it to see if it can be repaired? I bought mine, a pair for about 85 USD including "O" rings & grommet.

How do u set timing of c180 271 Mercedes Benz engine 203 model

What is the size of the O-ring?

Please tell me what type of spark plugs I need to get for my w203 1.8 liter. I am also interested in doing a tune on mine. Can you share more info on that? I saw you mentioned about it in a reply.

Does idle problem if this part has failed?

Thanks a lot for the video! Do you think the clips and the cables should be changed as well? I have the same kind of leak and my local mechanic recommended to change the magnets the clips and the cables altogether to prevent the leak reaching to the ECU.

Where can I buy the grommets?

I have same car as yours,Just want to ask questions is it possible to swap the engine to a model 2007 c250? Thanks

Comment Peut on commander les pieces pour les kompressor c180 pourrais je avoir un site internet fiable des pieces allemande?? Merci

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2015 CPO c250 with 20k miles. When do you think I might need to worry about something like this?

Is the repair similar to M271 EVO

Hi, is this for P0365

Any ideas what to do if the plug doesn't come off? Tried everything, pliers, screwdrivers etc but it doesn't move a single millimeter

is it basically the same process as doing it on the m111 W203.

Hi my car's camshaft only leaking . But it doesn't have any problem. How can i stop the leaking? Thanks. Is it mentioned in manual it has to be change every 100000km?(camshaft)

Now this is different but very good

thanks from Mark in South Africa

zollotech can you do a review on skins from DBrand?

Hello, Thank you man, just a question, what do you think of this engine, is it good or not?

Great video... question, did you disconnect the battery or is that not necessary?

I have c230 and when put in gear it sounds like it wants to die but never does p0101 p136 so got new 02/maf/spark plugs and no change runs good in park and n but put it in gear and it sputters no power it will drive good when Going but stop and rpm drops up and down put in park go away.help please

What kind of mercedes is?

Quick and simple!!

Thanks Aaron! Is this the right video on how to fix error code P0010?

Nice one. Mine is leaking then! Can any one answer please? Do I have to change the cam magnets, or just O ring sealant will stop leaking?

What's the round black pipe in the centre just below the two camshaft magnets?

Will this sort a p0341 code?

You should have two channels and keep zollotech as technology and create another one for car.

good job bro

I change it already but still leaking. :/

Hi bro. I have a question? Why needed to change that? For engine sound or ?

How did you remove the black lid on top of the magnets?

hi i have a code p0020 and i have replaced the magnets last year what do you think i should do?

I wonder if you have to change both? Or it can be done one at a different times? Thanks Just subscribed long time ago!😆🎉

Mine is leaking at the centre of the magnet I had just changed it just now

Ummm ... errr the O ring isn't fitted when you put the second sensor on. See 3:41

Sir, Is this fixed obd2 code p0075？

Fyi: This lufi XF1 was earlier swap for usr between two Hondas of both 1.5 litres engine. But one is otto cycle and other one is atkison cycle. On idling the atkison unit is having suction of only -0.15atm vs -0.45atm for otto cycle. Happy motoring.

How much does that cost as parts?

Hi Friends, I had a very serious trouble with my C200 Kompressor 2001 as When I start the engine (not yet drive). The speed indication at the panel at dashboard go up and go down. It is not normal. Then I opened the trap to look the engine actually the engine run with speed not normal. Go up and go down rapidly. I actually did not know how to fix it. Anybody has experience on it please kindly to advise. Tks all.

i love the video, good explenation

Thank you mike that was very very helpful. Thanks again

Any code in this magnets .,..??

Hi, how about only change the o-rig?

i cant even take the cover off. are you meant to yank it off with force?

Maybe start zolloauto :)

if the parts are bad the engine will make some kind of sound two

Thx man ❤️

oil leakage can cause any further damage ?

Does it need calibration or something when I buy new ones or just replace them and nothing else ? Mine don't work good anymore.

Are those cam magnets the same as the cam shaft position sensor?

Think i may have this issue with mine. As there is oil down the front of the engine.

Please, do changing of the camshaft magnetic affect the timing of the engine?

thanks sir

Mit einem 6er-Bohrer den Magnet durch die Öffnung in der Mitte zentrieren. Dann erst die Schrauben festziehen. Danach den Gummistopfen in die Mitte reindrücken.

You left out one step that Mercedes mentions in their maintenance manual for this repair. You are supposed to align the new magnet by using a 6mm drill.

you are great

how remove cover?

if you don’t put a asbestos joint between the piece and the rings, oil will continue to run!!

Is it okay to change just one magnet?

1.8l c230 05 when put in gear it stutters like it want to die

Why would oil be leaking into cam shaft magnets if PCV system is vented either into intake manifold or into suction of Eaton 45. I have just install a generic OBD2 plug & display unit Lufi XF. MAF reading at 5.4g/second. Rpm 850. Air manifold at 0.55atm (-55kpa). Throttle at 17.2% open. IAT 40 degC. O2 SENSOR AT 0.74V which is good. Calculations: a) 5.4g air/second = 4.9 litres air per second. B) 850rpm for 1.8litre engine = 7.08 suction strokes per second = 12.75 litres of displacement volume by all 4 piston in 1 second. C) 4.9/12.75 = 0.385 for ratio of air intake volume vs total displacement volume for every 1 second. This come to -61.5kpa or (-0.615 atm) inside cylinder at BDC. This should be correct as manifold pressure is always higher than pressure inside cylinder during suction stroke. The above does not take into account of gases coming from PCV system back into intake manifold and the gasoline spray by port injectors. So actual pressure in cylinder at BDC could be much closer to -55kpa. This Lufi XF is generic type reader. When it was on my honda ivetc engine it could read EGR valve opening value but not MAF and exhaust temperature. On W211 E200k year 2006 it could not read egr valve value and exhaust temperature. Good if Lufi could sell XF1 reader which customised for Mercedes or Honda or BMW etc etc. Every one should have a good plug in & display type of OBD2 reader. There was a post around year 2010 that owner had done quite many costly things (and pulling hairs) to his troubled E200k and in the end it just come down to just a leaky breather hoses.

Also, need to coat o rings with oil.

1.8 with 163hp?

I did change it out but to no help

Mercedes VTEC!

Th.Henry.

Сенькью!

I had this problem also with the M271 (new control chain, new camshaft adjusters, new valves, C180 T, 2006). Since November 2016, the car has a total of 4 months in 2 car workshops. Only now recurring / permanent fault with associated non-circular idle: 2054: Wrong position of exhaust camshaft, sporadic. Video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TDmoehgOEqs.html - do you have any advice?

Is this code p0077 p0076 p0075

thats the original sound nothing wrong with it

was that the $5000 job they told me about at the dealer? I was just asking them what problems my specific car model could have, and they said "oh, camshaft adjuster...it's a 5000-dollar job. I've seen it go bad at 20k and it could go out at 100k"

What's with the car videos man?

Woah... This is a rather big deviation form the usual content on this channel. Seems kinda random, and awfully specific. Not sure how to feel about it

Good video ! However, you have missed one point. When refitting the magnets you need to put a 6mm drill shaft through the magnet centre hole and into the camshaft to align the magnet as you are fitting it. You then insert the middle rubber once the magnet is tightened in place. Otherwise you have have the magnet slightly out of place which will cause oil leakage.
