Mercedes a class: How to remove front bumper (w176) 

Thank you for the positive feedback 👍

Happy days! Thanks for the positive comment 😁

I try to be straight to the point unlike a lot of how to videos👍 Thanks for the feedback🙏

Just a normal ratchet and socket

Yes exactly the same

The A45 AMG have an additional air duct that is secured with 3x 8mm fasteners on the under tray that needs to be removed first, other than that it is identical to the process in this video

It’s the main wiring harness connector for the front bumper

@Jack Gross is the connector to get power to parking sensors? My bumper is amg line so no fog lights?

@@verroch12345 yes will be for the parking sensors

@@malachaipulido4528 nope

Hey! Thanks for the feedback 🙏 the sensor that was disconnected here was for the pedestrian protection system, some cars will have this and some do not depending on specification options!

Is there any part number which i can use to search for those sensors as i think i dont have them install as i have an aftermarket front bumper

@@redec13 Open your bonnet and have a look at the bonnet hinges and see if it has the actuators, if it doesn’t have them and there is an empty space it’s more than likely your car doesn’t have the pedestrian protection system. I actually have a W176 A class and my one does not have it

@@redec13 A1769051000 is the part number for this sensor though

@jackgross3140 i have scan the ecu and have found 2 errors B273787 and B273687 impact sensor has a malfunction. Thank you for your time and attention man.

Installation is the same but in reverse, take care to line up the brackets that protrude on the back side of the grill into the centre of the slots beside the headlamps

Did you reinstall the radar sensor correctly? If it is mis aligned it can cause issues. Sometimes they need a calibration drive using the Mercedes diagnostics equipment. I would make sure all parking sensors are plugged in correctly as well as main wiring harness connector 👍

It’s the outside ambient air temperature sensor

Original

You can remove it by using a thin plastic trim removal tool and prying it out carefully

@@jackgross3140 I actually saw some videos after this one that you can, thank god. But there seems to be one problem I found. They don’t make the 3D type of emblems anymore for these type of cars am I correct? Do you think there is a website where they do? Because I know it’s kinda illegal because of safety issues. They allow it on old cars but no on the new ones anymore. Still I don’t mind the fine if they do but would love to see a site where they still build it for the new Mercedes’ bumbers

@@Zuko0s the emblem you are referring to I believe are the ones only found on the bonnets, not bumpers of E and S class, there may be a company that make aftermarket ones for other models but I’m not too sure!
