Mercedes Benz B150 266.920 auto 2006 - Starter motor replacement #

Posted by Nigel Yardley on October 8, 2013, 6:23 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2006
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 266.920

Has anyone on here had the pleasure of fitting a starter motor on a b150 auto yet?
If so I would appreciate any advice you can give. Autodata lists 2.5 hours including removal of front bumper, but I just cant see it (literally).

Any help would be gratefully received, before I decide to shut the place down and open a nail salon.

Thanks Nigel

I would assume it is a similarly crazy job as an A class .The subframe needs to be dropped at the rear end and released from the front bolts.It is possible that the bumper needs to be removed to access the front bolts.Starter sits high up at raer of engine,near bulkhead.Great bit of design,

Its a bit of a bastard, basically as Andy has just said.

I advise a replacement if the engine is out for any other reason.

I've done a A class and a Vanio, both of which are awkward to do.

Don't forget also to undo the steering UJ as this helps drop down the subframe easier and undo the multi-plugs from the ecu on bulkhead else you'll strain them.

I used two high axle stands (ramp height ones) to support subframe as i removed all the bolts holding it up (e torx if i remember correctly).

The starter bolts on the cars i done used alen key bolts and were very tight, 1 of which was difficult to access so i used a wobble type alen key with a socket of the correct size as an extension for more leverage.

Also watch out for the a/c pipes on comprressor.

Check the drive belt why you have the subrame down.

Further interrogation of the customer reveals Mecedes had quoted 7 hours on the job, he's gone away to think about it
