great video bro. thank for making this DIY video for weekend warrior type people.. it still too much for me. so I just enjoy watching and let other do the fixing lol
1- please make another video of if your had any problems with are since you have hit 100k mark 2-Please make a video doing transmission service (fluid change and filter)
Great video, thank you. I am having trouble getting 2015 C300 to go into workshop mode so I can release the brake to replace them. I was able to do it once but it took a bunch of tries. Any suggestions?
Does it matter what brake pad goes where on the rear? the brake pad with the sensor should be on the inside right? And when I put the caliper on I had issues getting it back on is it the brake pads not being in there right location? And yes I did push in the piston on the caliper so it’s not that. And by the way thank you for the video , much needed!
Hey Durbin, thanks for making these awesome videos in the Mercedes! Really helps out! Any way you can do a video of how to change the shock/strut on on this ? Thanks! And keep up the great work with the videos!
To remove the caliper spring ,simply lever the middle of the clip towards the caliper ,it pops out of the 2 holes , also to release the wear sensor ,simply pry the small wire up a fraction and the plug pulls out . Bit of butchery in parts of this video, but great overall. Very helpful.
I think the manual says spark plugs every 40,000 miles. I have a video on those as well. I don’t believe in wasting the money on the brake fluid changes
Love your videos. Hope you can help. I bought an 09 c300, love it. When i push on the brakes it has a sound that repeats every 3 seconds until i let off. Is that the pads, rotor or wheel bearing.? Can it be something else?

Its a best practice to sand the rotor every time a new pad goes. You should be able to take it to a shop to do that so that the pad and rotor stick together without gaps
2 questions, is there only one sensor on the 2015 c300 model as well, also do you have to replace the sensor each time you change the pads? I just bought pads and one sensor for the job tomorrow.
Man, I am so angry. My wife had to go from BMW to Mercedes and I fix all our cars. This is over engineering on steroids. BMW brakes are soooooo easy and fast. Now I have to get a special tool to compress the caliper? Ughhh. I don't understand what the ebtake is even for! Thanks for showing us. I subscribed.
The ebrake is the most annoying thing. It’s not designed for stopping and getting out driving. Every time you open the driver door it clamps down. Then if you want to move the car with the door open, you have to manual release it. Not to mention the safety feature where it dumps it into park while the car is still rolling if you open the driver door
@@TheDurbinCompound Just terrific. Sounds like an over engineered dumb idea. Hopefully there is a good reason for it and someone out there will fill me in. Thanks for the reply :) Edit : And Tha brake pad wear sensor is so much easier less intrusive on the BMW. This one has tiny exposed wires, cheap connection set up. Almost seems like they forgot about it and added it in at the end :)
On my BMW, I push back the pistons with a pry bar between the old brake pads. I’m sure this is possible with a MB. You can also rent a caliper tool for free from most auto parts stores. Generally, I’ve found my wife’s MB to be no more over engineered than my BMw.
Min 8:40 - Was für ein Murks, ein Hobbybastler. Die Spangen lassen sich ganz einfach entfernen: Anheben und nach aussen führen. Zange hängt im Bremsschlauch, Bremszange mit Elektroschrauber anschrauben - wenn eine Schraube krumm steht ist die Träger hinüber.Drehmomentschlüssel: keine Spur davon. Reinigung Belagsführung - vergessen. Solche Videos sind nett gemeint, aber nichts wert...
