Brake fluid change DIY?

I have a 2015 c300, has anyone completed a brake fluid flush themselves? If so any youtube videos or tips you can provide?

Some systems have to be done using Star or equivalent as the abs pump has to be operated at the same time.

Major damage could be caused by using the normal method.

However whether yours requires that or not I don't know.

Hopefully some one will be able to give you more info.

I highly recommend a "power bleeder". It makes the job manageable for one person to accomplish. It is also a completely safe method to use with the W205. I did this right after purchasing my car.

I bought mine here and only used about 3/4 of the bottle: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...s-000989080701
