2012 Mercedes GL350 AC compressor replacement
Переглядів 11 тис.3 роки тому
About 6 weeks ago I replaced my AC compressor in my 2012 Mercedes GL 350 Bluetec (X164) and I didn't film it, but because it is such a helpful vehicle, it decided to help me remedy that by spitting its contents out during the hottest week of the summer. Parts arrived in time for last weekend and this video includes tips and tricks for replacing an AC compressor on a 3.0L Mercedes OM642 diesel e...

How to remove a surface scrape or mirror scratch from a car
Переглядів 2,8 тис.5 років тому
A coworker had someone in a parking lot scrape a mirror all the way down the side of her Enclave leaving a nasty streak / scrape. I offered to help remove it quickly and easily. I packed some lacquer thinner (Klean-Strip brand from Home Depot - www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-qt-Lacquer-Thinner-QML170/100127500), a rag and a microfiber cloth in my trunk and was able to remove the whole scrape...

Переглядів 407 тис.7 років тому
This video was taken following the teardown of the right side of the engine and removal of the timing cover. It is not intended to be a step by step guide, rather a set of "gotchas" I encountered during the teardown. The vehicle (a 2009 Buick Enclave) has a check engine light with a code of P0008, indicating timing chain wear, and the vehicle demonstrates poor performance when driving. From my ...

This video is a sample run of the 1984 Mariner 5HP outboard I have for sale. Since the filming of this video I have painted the bottom cowl, leg, lower unit and prop.
You can't get good kit $130 bucks anymore, not even close. Thanks to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris inflation is skyrocketing. Only a complete moron would vote for more of this..
Howed that eBay kit hold up
He said in another comment a tensioner was bad so he bought Oem kit
I do it in the vehicle all the time it only takes me seven hours
Yes bro I’m telling its way better to drop the entire subframe with the engine. What your going through I would never recommend to anyone to do. Yes 2500 to 3500 is about right. I replaced everything that would give me hell to get to, everything from the water pump to cam sensor to the alternator spark plug power steering hoses lines man anything that would be a pan in the ass to get to. Gm knows this is a concern
was your water pump making noise before it failed?
having done mine now with this engine two things. The rear power steering bolt can be accessed underneath the vehicle. you need to remove the exhaust piping coming from the Cat converters and the heat shields but you can get to it from underneath and can see what you are doing. It's a pain but at least you're not blind and can have access to see what you are doing. Two, I as able to get the timing cover out and in (with rtv on it) without taking out the cam phasers. It's a pain and you have to be very careful but I was able to do it without getting RTV all over the place.
This is the first video I have watched that was done in the car.. the rest have dropped the motor… but good info
Hey bud, nice video- thanks for the detailed explanation of the tools needed. Helped me greatly in a situation where i was stranded! With regard to your belt issues. Check that your belts match the pulley grooves. There are different # splined belts for these. I would imagine if they mated incorrectly you might get wear issues! Also, i had the belt tension bracket on mine fail, which I believe has a bulletin and updated part.
Don’t do this, if original GM timing went bad. How long will cheap china last after a 20 hour job? Probably got the same code back.
careful using the ebay chains. They are very hit or miss. I've had 2 literally snap within 20k miles of replacement, taking out the cylinder head. I've done many more that lasted forever
Great video. However once you get used to it the engine drops out in 1hr
Bro… your breathing.
The title is exactly what I'm looking to learn ...the content had none of that ..cmon man!
How much would you charge for a job like this?
Labor wise, it's a morning, call it 4h. I got my parts from rockauto and they were around $400 if I recall, maybe $900-1000 for the job if a stranger asked me to do it.
120 dollars hope your tensioner s hold
Thank you for video. How did you remove the idler pulley by the alternator?
It is extremely tight, but if you undo the bolt it will get enough angle to clear the boxed section of the inner fender.

Добрый день.какой момент затяжки болтов помпы?
Hello it's sensor nox 2 bank 1 ? Or sensor 1 bank 1 ?
Thank you for your honest comments and confirming it can be done in the vehicle.
can I get the cloyes "how to remove timing cover video link Please
3.6 terrain, took me 15 hours, first time. was a challenge
Forget this been driving my 2009 Enclave 114k for 3 years starts everyday no problems strong quiet runner but watching this I'm getting rid of this & going back to my durable Toyota/Lexus models with 300k+ durable timing chains
That first connector. Does that connect to the back of the fuel rail ?
Autozone rents a low profile puller Part #57187 for the crank pulley. It allows the crank pulley to come off without dropping the engine. Makes the job considerably easier so you don't have to remove motor mounts.
I looked at this puller online. It appears it only works for harmonic bouncers with tapped holes already in it. I don't have any holes in mine so I don't see how this could work. I have a 2010 Buick enclave.
sorry #57139
So as an update I did rent their number 57139 it actually worked to get it most of the way off, although it finally runs into the metal frame wall once again. So now I need something to get it off about another inch or so.
George, thank you for this but there’s some really critical stuff you brushed past..like all the shit you removed to get to the job, like the throttle body. Do you have a vid on the power steering pump replacement or a tip or two on accessing it. Again.. thanks for this but sure wish dealing with the ancillary pieces had been included
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Awesome detailed video! Thanks
Thanks for your information buddy 👍
sounds bad....
George...well done video.👍👍
Install entire timing kit. Dont buy local, shop wanted to buy NAPA kit,...it was around $1100-1200 for whole kit. I bought entire cloyes kit for around $800. I wasnt sure if you did, but if you remove lower engine mounts around font(timing side) you can use jack and block to lightly tip front of engine up creating a few more inches of room and wont need to remover phasers at beginning .
You did nail great tips too.
Wondering if it all worked out for u when u got done, or if u still had to tweak with it
Thanks for the video, made it a whole lot easier for me, just got done with it. Did u have any random misfires after completing the job?
That's dedication!! Good work man.
did you use a tank to evaluate the freon from system?
So how hard was it to align the timing marks on the phasers and chains? I'm about to tackle that once I replace the bank 1 exhaust cam phaser. Thanks man.
I am getting ready to do this job on mine. I have done many compressor jobs but not on a GL. Can the receiver/drier be removed without removing the front bumper? Also, those air powered vacuum pumps do not pull nearly a deep enough vacuum for this job. You need at last 29" of vacuum and I usually pull it for an hour to make sure all the moisture is out of the system.
I don't remember pulling the bumper cover for the second time I did the job. The receiver/drier It is held on with 10s as I recall, 2 tabs with body clips on the receiver/drier, and a 4 or 6mm head M5 Allen for the lines. The first time I did the job the allen socket was corroded badly and stripped out. That resulted in pulling the bumper cover to get space for vise grips. I kept my open time to a minimum and the little pneumatic unit got the system down to -23 psi and kept sicking for 15 min. The ac system did fine until the car was totaled.
Hi George I’m having the same issue. Now 3 belts in 2 months. I see I got a bad idler pulley. and I notice I bit of noise on my water pump. I have a question. Did you also changed the belt tensioner? and. Did this work fixed your issues? Just wondering if my balancer has an issue. Of small wobble. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
Mine started shredding belts first when the PS pump seized (which wasn't a particularly run experience or job that I did not video). Like you, on the 3rd belt I took more drastic action and replaced the WP and idlers. I did not replace the tensioner as it was holding tension within range and the pulley felt smooth and quiet.
It would’ve been real nice to see all those parts removed physically as opposed to saying take these off so sir take this video down it’s garbage
Great video,will be doing this myself
I have a newer Buick enclave with timing chain issues. It's in the shop NOW. It's costing 3250.
5:49 I wouldn't recommend working on anything on the GMC Acadia (and clones) - everything I've run across is a complete PITA and it's a shame because it seems like it will be a nice vehicle once it's running
You can thank your government for these engines as this is all about reducing emissions.
How many nox sensors do you have ?
Were you able to get everything that goes to the timing chain replacement or did you have to buy parts separately
Thank you for sharing
Great tips. Thanks for the help.
Hello George, good video, but missing some important parts, like the actual removal of the compressor after removing all the screws. It seems there is not enough room to pull it out. Also missing the part where the condenser is removed. Any chance that you would have that? Thanks.
Hi Paul, I no longer have the GL, but I will try to answer your questions from memory. I removed my AC compressor from the front of the engine. You can fold the hose to get under the power steering pump and turn/rotate it out. As for the condenser, I replaced only my receiver dryer (flushed the condenser with cleaner). To fully remove the condenser it is best to pull the front bumper cover, remove the upper radiator support, remove the e-fan, and there is a 10mm nut that releases the drier lines from the condenser. Unbolt the radiator and lift it off its mounts so you can push it towards the engine, the condenser is clipped to the radiator and lifts up. Not super easy - hope this helps.
Ahh shit....anybody wanna buy a 08 Acadia cheap ? Anybody ???
I really wish you would show how to remove the throttle body.
