Mercedes C180 (W203 - M271) Kompressor Head Gasket Replacement Part 4 - FGep31 

Excellent video. It's great to see a run through with all the pitfalls and issues. It's helped me decide whether I want to tackle this myself or hand it over to a garage. It was also really useful to know that there are other places where oil and coolant can potentially mix. It seems that these locations fail more often than the head gasket.

Thanks sir I am gaining alot from it.

Yay!

You’re a legend mate... I’ve just started ripping into mine after the timing chain slipped.. funny because all the things that frustrated you are happening to me... ha ha ha!! Thanks so much for the education though., you deserve lots more views!!!

Yesyes

Hey buddy, what did that seal end up being and were dod you source it?

Honestly I am thinking about pulling the motor out of mine, I think she jumped timing which is just 1 problem with these..25 lb wet compression on#1 think she bashed a valve hopefully didn't take out the piston.Had a broken evt bolt on the exhaust cam plus a lot of wear on the cam gears (50000 mile life expectancy on the timing set) But we will see. Great Videos Bro. I will see if i can do the same for mine.

Hello buddy. My w209 clk 200 just mixed oil in the coolant tank. So i guess its the damn faulty oil cooler since the car is low mileage and never overheated. I also noticed some oil leak right under the exhaust manifold area. Any clue whats under there assosiated with oil? Thank you!

hi! i'm changing head gasket too, did you reuse cylinder head bolts?

So how is the car running now? After filling the coolant reservoir?

I wish you lived near me I would love to pay you to repair my problem I only have one good arm

That wasn't your first start. The fuel rail should have air and first start should never be that smooth. But, hey, good job. Could have done more troubleshooting, compression test, and research to pinpoint the problem was the failed cooling exchanger first. And now you have to flush the cooling system really well.
