Oops … I get it , I would apologise , but he never answers my questions so I won’t

He shows , what’s missing , then he shows the replacement , next minute it’s placed???? What kind of tutorial is that ? Show us how you place it is the whole point

Thanks for the good advice, I'm going to try to overhaul the injectors myself. Do you have the parts numbers? then I can order it from mercedes Benz in Belgium greet Frederick

Hello my friend If you use boiling hot water and put them in a large pot and turn on the fire for ten minutes, it would be better, and then wash them with gasoline. This method is quick, not tiring, and practical.😊😶

Hi could u do a video on the e55amg Mercedes 99 . Both seats are not working but sometimes the passengers seat works. Thanks

i've found out that my 2nd gen w124 has this too

Wonderfull, enjoyed the vid. Ideally this job would have been so easy when done on a lift, but at home you just got to do with what you have. Its a good idea to keep some wood offcuts, they come in handy to prop up parts like the heavy shaft etc, into position till you put in those bolts.🐞

You saved me so much stress. Nothing worked, watched this video, done it, everything works. Just amazing!

I have a 87 560sl that blows black smoke and has a lack of power. Could this help my problem?

The main problem with an old expansion valve is the o ring at the end cap that leak . You can buy a pump to empty the system in an approved container for little money .The pump is around $300 , the container $ 60 . This is what techs use on houses a/c . Will also do cars nicely . So, if you fill a system like 134a , then have an issue , empty it with the pump , fix the problem , put the gas back in . look on e bay , dozens of those pumps there .

if the pressure is not at 6 bar to start with how do you bring it back to 6 bar, what is the fuel range pressure for a gen 2 500 sec,my 500 sec has no problems starting or running but I feel it is not providing full power, even first gear pull no spin from the wheels and it is a 265hp hi compression engine

Remove the push button unit covers , look at the printed board , you will find cracks in the solder joints , just re solder . also at the 2 plugs , test the sleeves for looseness with a male pin . The heater valve element goes bad , the diaphragm get o whole in it . If you unplug the monovalve , the heater will be wide open .

Hey which belt did you use for the alternator? Will it fit for a 380 SEC?

You make that radiator? Thanks for the video.

Did you have to drill a hole in the Striker or the riveter was sufficient to fix the rivet?

Ralph you are a prince to take the time to create and post these videos. They are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi buddy, great job, lika always Does your car have ASR system? If yes, what for oil do you use for the diff? BR from Germany, K

Hello, I drive a GEN 1 SEC C-126 500 I have original Benz Brake Calipers. My brakes are stuck in front and back! New FEBI rotors, discs and pads. I've replaced all brake hoses. My car suffers from all the symptoms you mention. I believe I must open the brake pistons. How do you replace the brake cylinder kits? How do you remove the rotors? Where do you apply anti-squeal paste?

Nice project! Thanks for making a video of it. Great help to us DIYers!

Hi would you be able to prepare a guide for someone wanting to install ac on my non ac 190e 1.8 1992 id be willing to pay for it

I just did this job. I think the hardest part is putting back the C clips.

Thank you.. I have the same problem with my w124 with m111 engine. And this really helps.

what is the torque value for the new six bolts? Is it 51 ft-Ibs? Is blue Locktite needed for them?

Hi Ralf, Great job! My right shaft was frozen and wouldn’t come apart, so I winded up buying a new drive shaft and postponed the left one, as those boots are still sealing. I am not sure, but 27:54 into the video I can see your differential drain plug and it appears the plug is not fully turned in? With greetings from Kansas Peter 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

OK what grease was that you are using? Also what about some 80-90 w gear lube in their as well

Certainly you would want to just put in new half shafts. After a job like that I'd want those cv bearings to be at zero time

Ja, das ist ein scheiss job. Habe vor 3 Jahren das gleiche an meinem 560SEL gemacht. Jetzt wuerde ich es nicht mehr wagen. 80 Jahre alt und die unteren 5 wirbel des Rueckgrats steif verschraubt. Tausend mal geflucht in allen Sprachen die ich kenne.

Nice work. Thank you for sharing!

Really good video! All of your videos are great actually 🙂 It would be cool to see a differential service. I think it's pretty easy - but I'm curious the steps you do (do you re-use the plug? is there a washer? I think I have the 14mm hazet socket) and what kind of gear oil. Thanks for making these videos!

Gut gemacht, Ralph. Danke

Big oldtimer Mercedes-Benz owner and fan here. Good edutainment video, thanks for posting.🐞

I used to do a lot of work on my 85 300d, but I don't think I'd have tackled that job. As many miles as you have on that thing, I'd have considered just replacing the cv joints as well. I'm sure those ball bearings are worn down. Thanks for the video, Ralph. Did you do the other side, too?

Great Ralph

This video has no sound?

Mr Stray Benzes My 1992 300 ce W124. Starts fine , drives great, tick over perfect, BUT every now and then, when approaching a roundabout, or slowing down to turn left or right, the Engine cuts out ,so I have to quickly select neutral turn off the ignition, turn on the ignition the engine starts straight away, slip into drive and continue my journey.🤔 any ideas possible fuel pump relay ?

Most stupid design from Mercedes. Real Pain.

Thanls man my compressor didnt start untill i jumpwired the pressure switch. Do you know is the gonna happen any damage if i just jump wire it and dont use the pressure switch?

Relays?

Change front brake hoses while you are at it. The correct hose is the Centric 150.35001. It has metric fittings and is 17.7 inches long. Avoid parts houses that try to sell you hoses that are only 14.4 inches long.

Hello my name is Christo pls help me am from South Africa my Merc 300e w124 don't want to star swap out feul system new an plugs ,plug wiring ,coil car start runs 10sec foot on pedel den days then dusnot start again in about 2 minutes start same story crank sensor also new don't now wat to do check all video's test all but nowe luck can you help pls nowe is different with out the car but aim on my head can't se wat is fault

I just did this one on my 1987 300SDL. The two bolts on top of each mount are the worst. It would be good to replace the hardware if possible - mine was almost stripped 😱 What brand mount did you use?

Great Ralph

Yoga intermediate level… Small fingers do help a lot. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

SeaFoam..

Thank you Ralph. Got it. I saw your video on outside ambient temperature testing the lives inside the cluster. My LCD screen is fine and light illuminates but the temp doesn't display on the screen. Would you be willing to repair mine if I send it to you. You would be compensated. Thanks

Hello, I have a 84 500SEL with serious engine shake from idle up to about 2000K RPM, the mechanic said it had the wrong spark plugs and has changed them but is now saying it is still doing it and thinks it is the injector pump? I've never heard of an injector pump...any thoughts and Danke ahead of time.

Great explanation, thanks.

Hello Ralph: I've followed the channel for a long time and suggest you do an excellent job explaining particulars on the w126 chassis better than most. I have a 1989 300 SEL and reaching out to you for some suggestions/advice. I removed the cluster simply to clean the smears inside the lens by removing all the internal dials (speedometer, tach/clock, etc.) When I reinstalled all the components and reconnected the wiring/connectors, etc. the "low oil level" stays on while the oil pressure gauge behaves normally. I looked at the oil sensor and its connection on the engine block/oil pan and seems to be in order. The engine oil level is normal (not low). The wire connection to the oil pressure switch is in order. I tried disconnecting both connections (oil pressure switch and oil sensor level) and the "oil level light" in the cluster remains lit. I can't figure out why. Have you any recommendations or suggestions? Thank you
