  • Please let me know if mercedes E300 1999 W210 has primer pump in relation to removing air from fuel filter? If yes please help me to find it. If not please let me know how to remove the air. I have changed the fuel filter and cannot turn the car on..... Thanks

  • Very nice explanation and pro recording. Thanks. I wish you could continue with the newer models as well. Good luck, Vahid

  • Are those O rings on the bolt the same size? I have only seen one size listed online but they look different.

  • I had an 82 300D i picked up from a girl that had just got it as a high school graduation present and had no way to keep it up. I kept the car for 7 years and sold it for 4X what i paid for it. One of the 1st things i did was change the canister fuel filter and replaced the in~line throwaway filter with a Racor fuel/water separator that was originally designed for a class 8 semi, and it kept the fuel system immaculate; never had to worry about that one clogging up.....Pete Walls, "MBlover99)

  • thanks for this...I am about to do this tomorrow to my 1984 Turbo so this was very helpful...I'm almost sure I can do it!!

  • hei,

    You didn't bleed the fuel system after you've changed the filter. Is that not necessary? I have a '85 300TDT and can't get the engine to run smoothly. Read that the upper skrew above the main filter has to be loosened. Then you have to pump until no air bubbles are in the diesel coming out of the loosened skrew. Is that correct?

    Many thanks for an answer!

  • Awesome video! Very helpful, simple and easy to understand. Thumbs up!!

  • very helpful! I am about to buy a 1984 300D Turbo and it's been sitting for a while so I'm sure the filters are messed up...it's very sluggish to drive. we've replaced the spin filter but not the inline...now that I know how easy it is I will change it. What about the filters that are near the gas tank, the cone filters...do you know how to replace those as well? I think there is probably gunk in the gas tank

  • Great vid man, huge help!

  • Hi. Do you have any videos on how to bleed air from the system? I just changed a fuel/water separator filter in my 300SD and primed thoroughly, but I got air in the system and had to get the car towed to a mechanic.
