Watch the YouTube video below where Kent installs this kit on a GL450. Kent will tell you everything about this kit and why you should do this joy yourself around 100,000 miles. All the procedures are the same for the W221 (non-ABC) and W211 with the V8 engines. The only difference in the tank design is on the GL models.
Product Details
This kit includes the following: NOTE: hose clamp shown in picture is not included as only the GL engines use this type of clamp.
- New fluid tank ( with built-in filter)
- New tank to pump seal
- Big syringe extractor with a hose to remove old fluid from the tank
- Fluid flush hose with 3/8 inch coupler to connect to the return hose
- Silicone plug to seal the tank while flushing the system
- New hose clamp for the return to tank hose
- Long torx bit to get to the screws holding the tank to the block
- Kent's special tools to extract and install the big C-clip
- Zip ties
- Nitrile gloves
- New oil cooler seal
- Two new radiator hose o-rings
- Limited **video instructions.
**Replacing the oil cooler gasket and the o-ring on the radiator hose are very straightforward, and detailed instructions are not included. Video instructions will focus on removing the power steering reservoir service, as that is the most difficult job. This is shown on a W272 V6, but the procedures are the same when servicing the GL 273 V8. A bonus video is included showing Kent get the air out of the power steering system on a 2004 SL500 ( procedure would be the same as required on the GL)
Kent's special tools are included to help you get that stubborn C-clip off the underside of the power steering fluid tank. We include a standard hose clamp for the power steering return hose that goes into the side of the tank. 272273
A new oem gasket for the oil cooler is included and a couple of radiator hose o-rings. You will have to remove the upper radiator hose to complete this job and you should always replace the hose end o-rings.
