How to fit a New ABS replacement wheel speed sensor on a Mercedes C Class W204.
Thanks for your selfless act of a video instruction for the job, it doesnt matter whether your a qualified mechanic or not, your instructions and clear and precise and really helps someone tackling this job, many thanks Sir
What extremely kind words which are greatly appreciated, thanks mrix
I can do it myself thanks to the video , and the part is only 35 dollars , so it's a hail Mary. I have a friend with a code reader , so I'm trying that first. Thanks again.
Life saver ! Done it myself today
Its a job which is not really that complicated but saves a huge amount of money if you can manage it on your own! glad you found the video useful..... mrix
Great video. I replaced the rear sensor on mine and faults are still displayed. So I was relieved to hear your final comment on having to drive in order to complete the set up! Always good to learn from someone who has done the job.
Hello and thanks, never personally replaced the rear sensors as had no need too presently, I assume its not much difference from replacing the front sensors ? .... mrix
Thanks for the video And to all the viewers patience is key so don’t just skip to the sensor being changed
Hello Mak, thank for your kind and wise words, many videos do tend to focus on the easy part, remove the actual wheel arch is the pain, thanks again.... mrix
Best vid i have seen for replacing this sensor I have issues with mine so looking at getting them done
Hi Ian, very glad you liked the video and found it useful, all the very best of luck replacing your sensors if that`s what is required, also thanks for the comment much appreciated, mrix
Thank you very very much. I felt both your pain and your joy! Bless you.
Hi Roy and thanks, I am finding it a lot of fun doing my own repairs especially when its a positive result ha ha, My next job is fitting 6 Glow plugs but when I get a good days weather which is rare here in the UK at the moment.... mrix
Fantastic video, thanks so much. Has given me the confidence to give it a go myself. One thing though, you should really put a jack stand under your car before you climb under and not just trust the jack, I'd hate for it to come down on your arm or something. Cant be too careful. Thank you again!
Hi James, I would also not trust a jack, I have had one completely drop and strip its thread, I was trying to stay clear from at least not decapitating myself, glad you enjoyed the video, you can see its not such a huge job it mainly the wheel arch cover removal that is the main job, anyway all the very best with your sensor replacement, mrix
Enjoyed your video and love the music in it too. Good job..
Thank you so much, very much appreciated.....mrix
Fantastic video , I just followed yours to replace mine and job well done . Thank you so so much :)
Really pleased to of helped and very glad you managed to achieve the same, its a good achievement and at the same time saving a huge amount of money on Garage fee`s... mrix
great video, I hit a pothole today and cracked my wheel, when I put on the new wheel , all the lights are on, I presume I hurt the sensor . Thansk for the video, I kow I can change it myself, mine is also a c350 .
Hello, it would seem you have damaged the sensor in some way but all the very best making the repair yourself, I am glad you found the video helpful.... mrix
👍 cracking - saved me a few quid! The fault code didn't clear straight away for me - it took a test drive and a few stop / starts for it to go but it did.
Hi Michael, yes it does require the wheels to move for it to reset, I had to drive it a little way down the road for it to work and its been fine ever since, all the best.....mrix
I need to try that , didn't drive far
Thanks mate.. Helped so much and saved some money too :)
Thanks glad to of helped.....mrix
great video, thank you. this is definitely something I can do myself! cheers!
Thanks for the comment, glad you found the video useful, its definitely one of these jobs that many can do which will save you a small fortune in costs if done at the garage.... all the best...mrix
Great video helped me very much
Thanks Becky, really pleased to of helped, all the best mrix
hello, the esp and traction lamps of my 2012 model c250 Amg remain on and the car does not move forward even though it is running.
Great video. You saved me money.
Glad to hear that, you will save a small fortune if you attempt it yourself.... all the best mrix
Hey, I have the same problem, this video is amazing, thank you. I replaced the front right sensor thanks to your help with a OEM part. I cleared the error code and this worked for approx. 15 miles then came back. OBD scan showed the other front left sensor now, and after another scan showed it back to the right sensor again. Any thoughts would be appreciated, considering changing out both sensors anyway or wondering if I’m overlooking the root cause. Thanks.
Hello and thanks, its strange how it was showing as ok then not ? I also had the same issue where it showed the other sensor was faulty but when I ended up replacing both they have been fine ever since with no issues..... hope its the same for you... what OBD scanner are you using ? if its a really cheap one that also could be the issue ?... just a thought....mrix
Thks for your video 👍 Always put the wheel or some wood etc below the the car, newer trust only the jack 😊
Thank you and yes never trust a jack, I had one strip its threads many years ago.... mrix
Fantastic video , does this fault include power steering too ? Thanks
Hello and thank you, regarding your question as far as I know it does not.... mrix
Great insight, thank you
Thank you good sir
Good video, thanks!!
Hi Johan Larsson, glad you liked it, many thanks....mrix
Great video, what diagnostic tool did you end up getting ? Thanks.
Hello and thanks, glad you enjoyed it, I ended up getting the V3 iCarsoft which has been brilliant, cost around £160 but its been interesting to use and has countless features...... mrix
@@mrix Awesome thats what I was looking at so have now ordered, thank you.
Its a good tool and one I have not personally regretted buying, if and when I purchase my next car I will certainly order another for it..... well unless its electric I suppose... ha ha
I have all of the same warning lights on plus a check engine light. Did your car show any other codes besides the wheel speed sensor? Trying to diagnose my car now and I’ve seen so far it can be wheel speed sensors or steering position sensor
Hi, additional error is the cruise control will stop working and show a error when you enable it.... mrix
Thank you.......after watching this video I was able to replace the off side ABS sensor on my C220 without any further research.
Thanks for the comment and very pleased the video helped, mrix
Thank you for sharing.
Thank You, mrix
Great video- but how did you know which of the four wheel sensors was causing the ABS problem.
Hi Davey, as explained in the video firstly I was told by our UK breakdown service called the AA, they initially explained which one it was, when I finally got around to fixing the issue I decided to purchase a diagnostic tool myself but by that time the driver side had also gone faulty.... mrix
Hi what diagnostic took do you have, I have a w203 CLC kompressor
My dad's W212 has the yellow stability fault and traction off light, but not the ABS. Would changing the wheel speed sensor solve the issue? Thanks!
Hi that does sound strange, if it was a wheel speed sensor the ABS light should be on, maybe you have a different issue ? mrix
Thank you loads. Very helpful video and free of non sense.
Hello and thanks much appreciated.... mrix
I had this problem on my 2009 C200 saloon. The error codes were pointing the the right rear sensor even though the sensor itself was still working when I checked the live data on my scantool. I fitted a new sensor (sourced from a local motor factor which was cheaper than Euro) but it didn't fix the problem. I fitted a new ABS pickup ring (sourced from the same motor factor as the sensor) and it has fixed the problem. The old pickup ring had delaminated. Most of the time it IS the sensor that is the problem.
As you say on occasion it can be the pick up ring, fortunately for me it was simply the sensors which have been working great ever since this video creation.... all the best... mrix
Is the oil on it from a split boot leaking on to the abs ring? Iv got the same issue with the warning lights on the dash. Hoping I don’t have to replace the ring to lol. Thanks
I guess your always going to get a certain amount of muck and oil being in the wheel and brakes area being there for over 5 years....mrix
@@mrix Iv solved the problem. I was looking to deep into it lol. I full locked the steering from left to right and felt it was stiff then the issue cleared up. Maybe an air bubble in the steering fluid. Who knows just a glitch maybe lol
did it need to clear the error code to turn off the abs light after changing the speed sensor?
Hello, I did clear the code on a diagnostic tool and it still showed up up on the dash, it required me to drive just a few yards down the road to get the wheels turning for the code to clear, its not come back since so I am pleased it was a job that went very well, all the best if you are going to go through the same process, mrix
well done !
Thank you! ............mrix
are this same sensors for all wheels? i want to change all 4 if possible. car is c350 2013 coupe
Hi Carlos, from my understanding they are different however I have not been required to replace mine .... mrix
i have these errors only when is cold. i start my w204 c180 in the morning and all looks clear, after i drive for 100 metres show on this errors and my stering wheel get stuck( like old cars with no servo) only for 1 second. notting coming through when i connect to the scanner. can be same problem? during the summer i have no problems at all. thanks
Does sound like something wrong with the wheel speed sensor as the wheels need to be moving to create the error, however its strange how it does not appear to show on the scanner ? maybe the scanner is at fault ?
Is this the same process for the e220 w211?
Personally I have no idea but hopefully someone else does....mrix
Both my abs esp light both came on after driving for a few minute and the steering became tough. The wheel sensor code doesn’t show it’s the wheel sensor what do You think is the problem
Not sure Brian, it could be a few different things, you will need to check it with a diagnostic tool or if you already have a break down service get them out as it will be free.
Hi what error code did you have? Did it specify the bad speed sensor location? I had P0503 error code. I could not figure out which one is impacted. Thanks,
Hello I cannot remember the specific error code as on my diagnostic device it simply explained initially it was the left side sensor and towards the end when I decided to get it fixed showed both sides sensors required replacing, obviously you can see the errors it throws up on the instrument panel, the cruise control will also stop working... best regards...mrix
Hello is 2800 ohm (working sensor) to much? Defekt sensor have 2700 ohm. I changed the defect sensor 3 times all new, same problem.
Does seem very high, seems odd after you have changed it so many times which obviously must suggest another problem elsewhere ?
@@mrix the problem is my left sensor is defect. I changed right sensor to left and on the rigth side install new. On diagnostic tool read right side faul sensor. Or maybe is problem with high diferent values?
Hi is this sensor on all wheels? How do you know which one is bad? Also, should the battery be disconnected?
Hi yes its on all wheels, to find out for sure which one is bad you would need to use a scanner tool, the simplest and cheapest way is to get your breakdown group to check if there are problems, if your in the UK maybe AA, RAC etc, this is what I did, I have now my own diagnostic tool, you can get the basic tool quite cheaply..... all the best mrix
@@mrix Thank you. I have an OBD2 Bluetooth device. I'll check
Just the job
How did you know if it was left or right , front or rear ?
Hi, I called the AA breakdown service who explained which sensor it was however many weeks later I decided to purchase my own diagnostic tool and while running tests noticed I was unlucky for the other side to also fail ..... mrix
I have the same warning. But it disappears every time I restart the car, and the warning disappears for a few days, only to come back for a day or two, and then disappears again. Diagnostic kit pointed to near side front sensor. But wondering why warning disappears after restart in this way. Any ideas please?
Hello I also found the warning would also reset for a time and then come back again, it did happen quite often, I did think it may of been simply a dirty sensor but having removed it from the hub and cleaned it there was no improvement, it tends to get worse over time with the error showing more frequent and staying on for longer, in the end for me it stayed on permanently so was time to get a New one fitted, I suspect this will happen with your sensor.... mrix
Can this also throw a 4matic unavailable message on the dash? My speed sensor got bad and I am seeing all codes on the dash including the 4matic unavailable
Yes it will effect the 4matic also as that runs off the wheel speed sensors... sounds like your wheel speed sensor / sensors need replacing... mrix
I replaced my driver side sensor and all the faults turned off but when I drove it they came back on but don't see the code showing any more when hooked up to the obx reader
That is strange as the code normally will disappear when you drive it, it could also be the passenger side that needs replacing ? or there maybe another issues going on..... hope you have a easy resolve and when you find it please post back what the issue was.....mrix
Thanks
Thanks for the thanks much appreciated...... mrix
How do I no what wheel sensor it is
I am not sure where you are in the world but if in the UK and you have break down cover you can call out the AA, RAC and explain you have errors and they will run their diagnostic for free, failing that you would need to get the garage to check for you, all the best of luck....mrix
Good job man but buy a light :)
My car also threw a check engine light
The sensor,its front left ? This is happen' to My C250 AMG in last 5 days,till now
Hello the issue initially started on the front passenger side but then I had the issue with both front sensors, its not such a difficult job which can save you many hundreds, you can pick the senors up for under £50 ... all the best mrix
@@mrix thank you very much for reply me .. Here is my problem,there is ABS thing and writen run flat inoperative also,,do you think i need to replace the sensors,left and right side? At the front wheel'? Sorry for my bad english,i am learning. Thank you again
Can you still drive the vehicle
Hello, yes you can still technically drive but some features that require the speed sensor to work like the ABS and cruise control will not work..... mrix
@@mrix great thanks I needed to go to work in the morning. My Mechanic will have a look at it tomorrow
I just got these lights on today I was driving and it was kinda rough and I tried to reverse and it didn’t not reverse at all smh 😩
You're a handsome man, but we really need to see more of what your hands are doing. Also, HUGE safety no-no is to work on a raised car with only a flimsy jack -- please get some jack stands!
Hello, for my defence I did explain never to trust a jack as I had one and explained that it shared off the threads and dropped but yes I agree with what you say fully... mrix
Thanks for sharing, appreciate if you can provide me the part no for the front abs sensor. I will DIY and save money.
Hello sure the part number is 0986 594 548 all the very best with your own DIY Job, its a fairly easy job which will save you a lot of money, mrix
@@mrix Thanks you.
Great vid but NEVER rely on the jack alone. At least slide the wheel under the car so if the jack collapses, and they do you wont die...
Fully agree Paul..... thank mrix
I was awaiting for that Pathetic Jack Not to Collapse
It's most definitely not a safe jack and one you can trust, I am always very cautious when using it.... mrix
Thanks for tour effort. Did gréat. Bought a 100 000 km w204, after 2000 km, this shut happened. Nevers happened on my french and japanese car or m'y skoda. Shame for such a quality brand. Never Mercedes agaib for me cause it's poor quality and expensive price tag
Thanks for your feedback, I was quoted many hundreds for the garage to do the job and for me it was pretty much around the £100 in total doing the job myself... I am also a little disappointed in a car I thought was meant to be a quality brand.....mrix
Есть на русском проблема аналогичная
Good job !
Thanks!....mrix
