Fan clutch changing video and sluggish acceleration still
Video of how to change fan clutch on our cars. I have more to edit and still more parts to replace.
Video aside I'm still chasing the sluggish acceleration but have gotten the car down to the low 6's in the 0-60. I have also removed both set of cats, for now, this fixed the jacked up long term fuel trims and got rid of most my miss fires but it still happens but not to the point where I have to pull over and turn the car on and off like I did before, at least not as much as I used to. I have both primary o2 sensors on the way, as this is the main thing that keeps coming back on my scan tool, P0133 & p0153. I'm considering buying a new MAF, as my old one has some 60k and 4 years on it.
I would also like to know what should I be reading on the MAP pressure in mode six on my scan tool. Right now at idle I get 10 in-Hg on my scan tool and 17.5 or 18 in-Hg of vacuum at idle, checked through breather hose, they add up to 27.5 in-Hg total which is less that the barometric pressure outside, 30 in-Hg that day by the weather people. They're supposed to add up to the outside barometric pressure right?

I have a Uro fan clutch on my old Land Rover and it has worked fine, and trust me old Land Rover's have the worst cooling systems, expensively, I mean especially, if you actually use it off road. Also I'm not worried as its a spring clutch, they're pretty bullet proof in general, lags a little longer than the fluid filled ones but I'm not overly concerned with that. Though to be honest if I had the money I would have probably just bought the OE one.

Thanks!
Found it here also. I was going the wrong direction, thanks to my buddy, who worked as mercedes tech.
He did lend me the tool though.

Great video.
Please give the source for the fan clutch tools. I've looked on amazon and find the MB holder and 36mm wrench for $59 + $15 shipping. Looks like your tool is more generic but you said it costs around $30. I'd like to pick up this tool.
Thanks.

Same here, can't seem to find a tool set for around $30, and the loan-a-tool programs in town have shut down.

IanB - I bought the one at Princess Auto. It's not great. The wrench for the nut is bigger that what it should be, but it works. I forget what I paid, around $60, I think. Use it and take it back, tell them it didn't fit, and you get your refund.

Good to know Paul, I might end up doing just that as it isn't something I should need ever again.

I found the tool the poster used on Amazon for $29, but the holder tool is a poor fit so I sent it back.
I sourced the mercedes tools at KTC Auto Tools for $45. The holder is the oem mercedes tool and 36mm wrench is the one you need.
