Now my mechanic will be STOKED when he next works on my Mercedes-Benz CL500!
Probably one of the most simplest jobs I've undertaken on any of my cars that made a huge difference!
One thing is for sure when I take my Mercedes-Benz CL500 to my mechanic he won't be risking an amputation...

Just a quick video today with my 1992 Mercedes-Benz W140 400SEL. I think it's fair to say that when the W140 was developed every single technological advancement in automobile design was thrown at the W140. Thankfully alot of those things till function in my vehicle. Music thanks to Epidemic Sound - The Chase (Instrumental Version) by Michael Stenmark, Linda Stenmark, Anders Lystell - The Edge ...
Reviewing my Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG - The Good, Bad & the Ugly
มุมมอง 3.8Kปีที่แล้ว
If your in the market for a W163 Mercedes-Benz SUV, I review my 2003 ML55 AMG. I've owned this vehicle for over a year and overall am pretty happy with it. The W163 was unfairly labelled the "Alabama Trashcan" due to poor quality and fit & finish especially in the early years of production. However in my year of ownership I've found my ML55 to be mostly an enjoyable experience.

How I saved my Mercedes-Benz CL500 from the tip!

After tallying the cost estimate to repair my 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL500, the advice from the mechanic was to sell the car even if I made a loss on it. The estimate was based on OEM parts. In this video I saved myself thousands by doing my own `leg work'.

    The paint will never be as good as factory if you repaint it. Looks like it just needs some PDR and a polish. So many people repaint cars unnecessarily and destroy the original factory paint which is hands down the best for durability.

      Nice. Well I'm not surprised to hear that. I guess the rot at Mercedes-Benz started with the W220. I was recently driven around when visiting China in a new E class. Was surprised by how cheap the interior trim looked and was far less refined than my 20 year old S-Class by a long shot.

    Have been thinking lately of pulling out my 1974 450 SEL and giving it a once over. It ended up parked after the cold start fuel enrichment decided not to shut off. At 74,000 miles it is still in excellent shape having lived in the desert area of Eastern Oregon. Strangely the only part I ever replaced was the intermediate prop shaft bearing! Pastel blue with white leather! Sits next to the 1965 Jaguar Mark 10.

    • @egsgarage
      @egsgarage 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hard question to answer. If by long-lasting you mean mileage wise, then I would think the W126. Far less electronics to worry about than the W140 or W124. That said, if any car is regularly and properly maintained then realistically these cars will go forever. I assume your trying to decide which to buy? Ultimately that will come down to personal preference but always buy the best example that you can afford.

    I just picked up one of these but it is an 04 with around 88k miles. Did you look into doing a Coil-over strut swap? That is about $3k-ish installed and no more worries about the suspension. So if the that system fails I will do that swap. Yeah it is a very cool feature but the cost of maintanance is crazy unless you can do it yourself.

    • @egsgarage
      @egsgarage 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      At this point, I've not considered a coil over conversion and to be honest I'd probably ditch the car before I did that. For now it's a whole bunch of fun to drive knowing that at anytime the thing could crap itself.

    Love the vid on the w116. My 280SEL is my happy place. The KJet on mine seems fine, 4th owner with 400000kms. SLS is what I am currently working on to rebuild. Can sympathise when dealing with unnecessary spending with a mechanic that should have known better or at least fessed up that he was out of his depth. Current mechanic is great and will always tell me when something is not in his area of expertise. Happy owner for the last 2 years and for the rest of my time
