DIY Videos

Has anyone started a DIY Video thread already?

Here's the few ones I found on Youtube so far:

Pollen filter change (in German, but very self explanatory)

(this guy has several videos on his channel but I haven't checked them all - his full w206 playlist is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...mZlM1Qaf5T8xW6 )

Oil change

Head unit removal

If you find more, please add to this thread

Whatever you do don't hit the reset all function. It makes your car forget what software options it has so it will render your parktronic, cameras etc that base car have inoperable.

W206 C300

And here is a brake pad replacement video if your car is fitted with the sport front brakes. The video says W205, but I believe the sport brakes are exactly the same on the W206. They look completely identical to the sport brakes on my C300.
It is possible to replace the brake pads without removing the caliper, but in the video here, the rotor is also replaced, requiring removal of the caliper.

Front brake pad replacement - sport brakes

I see, that makes it easier then.
