เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2021
Follow along as we restore these classic Mercedes Benz sedans built from 1991 to 1999. One of the most expensive and over engineered sedans ever designed and manufactured in Stuttgart Germany for kings, heads of state, presidents, and the jet set during the 1990s.
1996 Mercedes SL500 R129 Project Heidi Part 9: Broken and Shattered Front Bumper Cover Full Repair!
Duct Tape and Bailing Wire on a R129? You bet 'cha. When it comes to R129 Front Bumpers these things are almost always broken or shattered. Welcome back to W140Restorations where we take a deep dive down a rabbit hole filled with different types of plastic welding tools, techniques, and temperatures to wed the Bumper Cover of Heidi with a very broken inner core from a donor vehicle. Its a match made in a recycling yard for long term drivability in the W140 Restorations Garage. We find out aluminum rivets and washers are the way to go putting these back together and a quick tutorial on how to put Bosch Fog Lights back in the bumper rounds out this latest episode of #ProjectHeidi.
It took weeks to finally finish all the plastic welding but it was so very worth it. We use Polypropylene and Polyurethane plastic welding rods to give some structure to a very broken bumper cover and re-use the bumper hangers and hardware to finally get Heidi back together.

What's all that noise under our project SL500? Welcome back to W140 Restorations as we get to the root cause of everything "thumpy" under Project Heidi. This happens to be one of my favorite videos to date as we level up both our editing and videography to show how bad the center support bearing/mid-shaft bearing is on this 1996 R129. We use a lot of science to drop a bearing perfectly on the d...

Great video! I need to do the exact same thing for our 1997 SL500 R129. It appeared you applied the 3M spray glue only on the hood itself, and not on the back of the pad… directions on the glue states you can do the 2 side method. Did you find that the hood-only works ok? Thanks again for this awesome series on Heidi. 😊
Thanks for watching the channel and leaving a comment. It works well but has a few spots that have started to sag. Would 100% recommend doing both sides for extra adherence. The hood insulation is missing in the new project SL500 and I will 100% pause to put glue on both sides of the new one. Thanks again for supporting the channel. Cheers!
Interesting video! Did you post a video previously showing how the headlight assembly comes apart? I don’t seem to see that.
Thanks for watching the channel! Hope you like the content. Yes, I posted a video about the disassembly of the headlights in Part 7A. There was so much to do I had to split the video into two parts. Check out episode 7A for how to crack open the Xenon headlights on a R129. Thanks for the comment and keep watching for more episodes. Cheers!
Great job on the sl I have the same issue with my 01 and hope to find time in September when it's not too hot here in Texas
Thanks for the comment and supporting the channel. Glad the video helps you get your 01 bumper sorted. I found the iron type welder worked wonders and didn’t require a constant trigger pull. Would recommend looking for the plastic stamping marks on yours since the 01 was a third gen version of the R129 and may be different plastics. Let me know when you get into it. Good luck, go slow, and buy the best respirator you can. Cheers!
Great so see new content from you and glad you tackled the bumper dilemma. I destroyed 2 in one year! Had this "How To" video been available, I would have tried my hand at repairing it instead of replacing them.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I hope you kept them for future use. They are hard to source and even harder on the wallet! Thanks again for watching and cheers!
Good to see you back! Did you ever sort out the driver's seat in the W140?
Thanks! Happy to be back in the garage and not in airports. Short answer is no. Every time I open the garage doors the replacement seats laugh at me and mock my skills like Waldorf and Statler from the Muppet Show, harassing me from their perches. It’s one of the last few items remaining on Iona. I should probably get to getting and finish the last few things. Stay tuned and cheers!
Thanks everyone for watching and supporting the channel. I just fired my editor (me) for the dropped audio at the end of Part 9. No clue what happened there. What I said was the 12V is hot to the fog lights, so the bulb is blown. I've got new ones on order. It took weeks and weeks of working with the plastic to put it back together, but it was SO worth it. Each of you with a split R129 bumper can do this very same thing and save a bumper. Thanks for watching, thanks for all the support, and make sure to subscribe to the channel. Cheers everyone!
Timeless!!!
They look so much better than the ones that came with it. Timeless has to be a top comment for these Aeros. She keeps getting closer and closer every week. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
My front and rear bumpers need refreshing asap. They are taking away from the overall appearance of the car. Thank you for this video. I plan on repainting the entire car next year. Off topic I see that you own a 1997 S500. My 1997 S500 temperature gauge is not working.I cannot find the single pin coolant temperature gauge sender location in my engine bay to check it. Do you know where it's located? Thanks, Frank
Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment t. There’s more bumper action on the latest #ProjectHeidi video where I figure out the rivet situation to make permanent repairs. I’ll look for a diagram for the sensors and see if I can find you an answer. Thanks for watching and cheers!
Its perfect 👌
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. #ProjectHeidi is sure getting as close to perfect as I can get her. Appreciate the kind words and cheers!
I got some wheels for you
Zay thanks for the comment and watching the channel. I can only imagine you’ve got some amazing Carlsson, Lorinser, and AMG pieces hiding here and there. I’m all ears but I’ve got to say that these set off the R129 so well. Waiting for tires to come in before I take it to paint. Cheers!
Love this need more content and repairs with the w140 🫶🏼 subbed
Thanks for watching the channel and for your comment. There is much more work and editing to do for #ProjectIona. Thanks for subscribing. I’m working on the rear view mirror replacement and interior of late. Trying to get Heidi done first in the next few months for a gift. Thanks again for watching the channel. Cheers!
You can park this car next to any - and it will stand out from the crowd and hold its own. The car is finished in the exceptionally rare and desirable brilliant emerald metallic green with beige leather seats and walnut wood grain accents. It will turn heads wherever it goes and gets lots of attention. Is it any wonder why Bruno Sacco said it was “the most perfect car of my career.” . In short, it is at the top of the car-world pecking order -- it represents the ultimate of a motoring masterpiece. This is an out-of-the-box supercar. It has the design pedigree, reliable engineering and enviable looks of the classic Mercedes marquee. Again, “the most perfect car of my career” -- as Bruno Sacco said (Mercedes head designer for over 35 years ).
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. This R129 has THE MOST beautiful paint color I have seen on a SL. Hands down. Mrs. #W140Restorations let me add this fourth Benz to the stable sight unseen based on the color alone. So much potential for future episodes and series on restoring this beauty. I cleaned out the engine bay and cannot wait to finish Heidi before I get to this one. Thanks again so much for the opportunity to share with the world. Cheers and keep watching for future work on this SL500!
Great videos on project Heidi! We just purchased a R129 SL500 from 1997 with 88K on the clock. We’ll be following your progress and doing the same. Providing all the part numbers is fantastic. Cheers
Thanks for watching the channel and congratulations on your SL500! What an amazing journey. Thanks for the kind words about the content and yes, the part number are so important to have for costs, estimates, and for your own ordering and searches. Thanks again for watching the channel and cheers to many many more miles or kilometers of motoring.
why put plastic oilers back that will pop again instead of getting aluminum ones that will never fail.
Thanks for watching the channel and leaving your comment. It was a decision based on many factors including experience, failure rates, mileage, cost, and lifetime warranty exchange with one of my vendors. In the end, if the same one fails it will get replaced with an aluminum upgrade. The work doesn’t bother me. If it ever requires a redo was also considered for making a follow up episode down the road. Thanks again for watching and cheers.
always put rags under the timing chain guides before you start to remove them or brittle plastic WILL drop down into the engine.
You are absolutely speaking from experience!!! Thanks for watching and leaving the comment. Those plastic buggers like to take flight as soon as you put leverage on them. Hope everyone reading takes this tip seriously. Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment. Cheers.
Really great video and helped out alot! Thanks man!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Appreciate you watching the channel and leaving the comment. So glad the video helped. Thanks again and cheers.
Hey man Great video and very informative. I have a w140 1997 s420 that needs to new spark plugs and ignition coils. I bought the spark plugs and coils from Bosch but I need to buy the tools to work on it. Can you please list the tools used for changing the spark plugs?
Thanks for watching the channel and congrats on having your own W140. I’m thinking through the process and most everything is a basic ratchet handle and extension with a metric set of sockets. You’ll definitely need a spark plug socket in addition to usual and regular sockets. The only real thing that jumps out is the metric Allen head bolts on the coil retainers. I think that’s everything. Good luck, go slow, clean everything, and be easy on yourself if you take a misstep. Cheers and thanks again for watching.
Nice work, just did the same on a 2002 R129 SL600 Same process. I had to pull the fan off and lower hose.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words. Appreciate the comment. KUDOS on the V12. A rare beast indeed. I can only imagine how tight the fit is between the fenders. Thanks again for watching and cheers!
Thanks for this video, love the derailed explanation I also have a 2001 R129 just love these cars
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Love the R129, all years, and colors. Glad you found the channel and thanks again for watching. Cheers to many more miles or kilometers on the odometer.
what is the gap for spark plugs again. I have been changing my the same exact parts but it running rough and just idiel a little.
Thanks for watching the channel and for leaving your comment. The gap depends on what motor you have in your W140. Mercedes Benz specs for the M119 is 0.8mm. With that said there are applications and reasons that one may increase gap to 1.0mm for a hot idle misfire. I’m not recommending it, just sharing that it may be done for specific idle issues since you mentioned it. Make sure to check fuel, air, and compression as these may be the culprit in lieu of spark. Thanks for the comment and for watching the channel. Cheers!
Is the roll bar still functioning? It's in raised position at the moment, shouldn't it be lowered?
Thanks for watching and for leaving your comment. It 100% should be down and unfortunately the red lights are lit up on the center console. Mechanical and road worthy repairs before the top. Thanks again for watching the channel. Cheers!
Where did you get the emblem with the push pins?
Thanks for watching the channel and for leaving a comment. I got both the emblem with pins as well as the emblem retainer plugs from FCP Euro dot com. They are one of my main go to places for parts. Cheers!
Dopeeee
Thanks!!!!
Dude! You are my hero!

I love car comunity. Misses me a lot. Hope you will help me regain the thrill to work on my cars. Evene if my deiver license is not up to date right now. 😂

Thanks for watching the channel and for leaving a comment. Congrats on the W140 ownership club!!! And two! I love both of my S500 very much and now Project Heidi as well with the recent SL500. More videos on the way and thanks again for watching W140Restorations!
Bro. So glad i found your channel. I own 2. And i need advices. They are hard to find. Hit me up any time
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. I’m not much for giving advice but if you are stuck on an issue feel free to hit me up. Just helped a subscriber with a rear SLS parts issue. Thanks again for watching and cheers!
Those are monoblock Aero 2s, nothing at all to do with hammers as the face design is different vs the 1 or two piece Aero 1s and these came out after hammer production had ended and the then current E60 124s came either with Evo 2 style wheels or 2 piece Aero 1s
Thanks so much! Time to change the title. There’s so much to learn about wheels. Size, offset, and especially getting the names right. Thanks so much for letting me know. Appreciate it. Cheers!
@@w140restorations it definitely gets confusing for sure! 140 folks gotta stick together to keep knowledge alive and readily accessible. Now to stop putting off installing the pile of parts for the CL 😅
Here is one more guys!! So nice to see these car still alive and well. They so precious to my eyes. As supras are
Hammers sound better
It can be done
Thanks! I am hopeful. Plastic welding has started and it’s not looking bad….but it’s got a lot of hours to go. It’s marked PUR or polyurethane so that’s the welding I’m doing.
How can I get a blower motor sir
I am a big fan of companies like FCPEuro dot com as well as AutoHausAZ dot com. Both offer original and original equipment manufacturers parts for W140 and other Mercedes chassis models. The new blower motor cost me $0 with the lifetime warranty on everything FCPEuro sells, so I buy a lot of parts from them. Thanks for the comment and best of luck. Cheers!
Save It
Thanks. Looks like I’m saving it. Working with a plastic welding kit for a PUR polyurethane marked MB bumper cover. We will see how it turns out.
Good luck!!
Thanks! Currently working with plastic welding kit for PUR marked bumper cover. We will see how it turns out.
Sweet
Thanks for the comment. First attempt, swing and a miss. Orange Peel that was 10/10 unable to save.
I wish Mercedes had gone "full Torx/E-torx" (fasteners) on the Motronic M119 as they did on their M113 and later engines. I loathe Allen-head screws.
Thanks for watching the channel and for leaving your comment! Sounds like you’ve had some time with the maintenance position under a hood or two! I hear you loud and clear. For me, Allen heads give me pause. The idler pulley bolt is the one that’s says “is today the day I need my tap and die set?” when I change them. Thanks again for watching the channel and happy wrenching. Cheers!
Nice Job! I too have a 99 s320, in Blue, that’s as clean as yours, I have the same pride of ownership, and love how the car blast down So Cal freeways at 80 Mph, flawlessly while returning 27 MPG and ice cold A/C! No better built car for the money on the planet!.. P.S one hot tip, Joann Fabric sells a wonderful match to the taupe interior headliner material with a thin foam backing, cost me $15 and 8 for spray apoxy and recovered my sunshade myself, looks brand new. Raise the Moonroof up in the Vent position, take out 4 side mount screws, and it comes right out and your sunshade slides right out, and reverse to install fixed slide.. Good luck, smiles and smiles to go!!
Thanks for watching the channel and leaving a kind comment. Blue and 99 are rare words indeed for a W140, let alone in the same VIN. Congrats. Daily MPG for Iona hits somewhere at 18 mpg or less depending on how hard I punish the pedal. Thanks for the tip on the sunshade. I’ve got to finish mine sooner than later to round out the interior. Thanks again for watching and cheers!
thank you for sharing. i have a 1997 S500 with 235 miles that i have had for seven years and i am just starting to pay her some attention. i have swapped out engines and rear ends of domestic vehicles however working on the m119 without your mentoring videos would be more difficult.
Thanks for watching the channel and for the kind words. Hope the videos help you maintain your 1999 W140 for many more miles. Cheers!
Nice Job! How much do you think that would cost if a shop did that job?
Thanks for watching the channel and for posting your comment. Parts and Labor manual for R129 says nine hours for flex disk repair. Granted the manuals I have are old, but current rates may differ slightly. Local Dealer rates are approximately $200 per hour around the Tampa Bay Area. That’ll set you back almost two grand just based on book rates alone without parts. Your local Indy should have better rates and not keystone the part costs if you’re lucky. Although pricey the repair should last other 100k miles if you don’t drive like I do. Thanks again for watching and posting your comment.
Didn’t set well with me for nine hours. Looked again. Center support bearing is 3.7 hours and flex disks are 3.3 hours per. 10.3 labor hours for the entire thing or 6.6 for both disks but why not do the bearing while you’re in there.
@@w140restorations so 10 or 11 hrs @125/per plus parts wish I could do these things myself good job!
Thank you just inherited a 97SL500 that my dad owned since 2000. He did this and that’s along the way but I just did gaskets plugs and coil packs. Radiator hoses and belt were also done so I can drive it confidently. Car has 119k and I know the rear disk was done but down the road this will be great info. Love following your progress as it will be me soon.
Thanks for watching the channel and posting your comment. So glad that the videos are helpful and happy motoring in your R129. There’s a lot to do remaining on Project Heidi so stay tuned for the next videos. Hopefully they come in handy when you’re working on your R129. Cheers and thanks again for watching!
Beautiful restoration. I have a 1999 Grand Edition that needs a lot of loving care. If anybody is interested let me know.
Thanks for watching the channel and leaving a comment. What a rare beauty you have. Hit me up at W140Restorations@gmail.com. I am looking for both a 98 and 99 to round out my post facelift stable. Looking at a potential candidate but always on the hunt. Fingers crossed you’re not on the west coast of the states. Cheers!

Where did you buy the idler pulley? Link please! Thanks!
Thanks for watching the channel. I buy most all of my parts from FCPEuro dot com. No sponsorship or financial relationship with them, and their customer service is excellent. Lifetime warranty on everything they sell, even oil. Check them out and thanks again for watching.
Nice! Bulb part number?
Thanks for watching the channel. I think the part number is N000000003634. That’s the Mercedes-Benz 12 V .6 W dash bulb and that may work for the door as well If anybody else on here knows the part number please leave a comment.
Goooooo ahead, Perfect explain and thanks for you.
Thanks for watching the channel. Glad it was helpful.
Hello. I have an s280 1996 with manually adjusted seats. Do you know by any chance if i can convert it to electricaly adjusted seats, mainly to be able to tilt the seat? Thanks.
Thanks for watching and for posting this comment. Congrats on having a rare W140 if you’re sending this message from the states. I’m not 100% positive that you can, but there are definitely a few things you will need. Your manual cable seat and adjuster will have to go and you’ll need a seat with a power control module N32/1 for the driver and N32/2 for the Passenger for LHD cars. A seat switch adjuster for each door card is also required. I’ve never done the swap but hopefully someone reading the comments has some experience with this upgrade. Best of luck and thanks again for watching the channel. Please let me know if you ever make the swap.
@@w140restorations I am based in Cyprus, Europe. Thanks for getting back!
Of course. Good luck. If you pull your door cards hopefully the wiring harnesses are same across the W140 chassis platform.
Everyone asking for the contact number on the car. Here goes. 1-727-557-4530. Hope this helps the owner sell and a W140 enthusiast buy. Good luck to you all.
SEND ME THE INFO!!! This would go great with my '96 s600.
Just posted.
