Oil Pan Gasket Replacement - C Class - W204 - Mercedes-Benz


Oil Pan Gasket Replacement Time: 3 hours Tab: $40 Talent: 1 Tools: 13mm wrench, 8mm socket, E10 Torx, floor jack, jackstands, wheel chocks, safety glasses, torque wrench Applicable Models: Mercedes-Benz C350 (2008-14) Mercedes-Benz GLK350 (2010-14) Parts Required: Oil pan gasket, sealant, oil Hot Tip: Do NOT use anything metal between the mounting surfaces Performance Gain: Fixed oil leak Complementary Modification: Change the oil filter While the title of the article is oil pan gasket replacement it is a bit of a misnomer. There is actually no gasket between the pan and engine but a small bead of sealant. If your pan is leaking or you have to remove it to replace the oil level sending unit you will need to clean the mounting surfaces really well and then use a good high quality sealant. I recommend Drei Bond 1209. I have used this for years with great results, and it is available at Pelican Parts. Make sure to carefully follow the instructions on the sealant you choose to use and allow it to dry and seal completely. Also you do not need to use a lot of sealant. All the extra will do is squeeze out and make a mess outside and inside the cover. You are going to need to drain and refill the oil from the motor. If you are close to needing an oil and filter change, now is a good time to change the filter as well. Get the engine warm before draining the oil. To begin safely jack up and support your car. Please see our article on safely jacking up and supporting your W204.

This important sensor tells the car's computer where the flywheel is located in relation to the combustion cycle. The DME takes the signals from both the cam position sensor and crankshaft position sensor, and calculates when to fire the fuel injectors and spark plugs. If the crankshaft position sensor is not operating properly, your car will run very erratically or perhaps not at all. Replacement of the sensor is not as easy as the camshaf...

All of the mounting hardware is considered single use so make sure you order new hardware when ordering the bar.
