I lay out all the parts for the ADS Suspension system on my 1994 Mercedes SL600 V12 that I'm going to replace. Includes the ADS/Power steering pump, the accumulator balls, ADS Fluid and filter flush and finally a new intake boot and some copper fuses to replace the ancient aluminum ones...Then I guess how long it will take to install of of this!!

Do you still have this beast? Has she been running well this entire time?
I never understood why these came with a lowly 160MPH Speedo.
@@ftffighter I think they’re ECU rev limited to 155 but yeah, definitely capable of much much more! Thanks for watching :-)
Jeez just so negetive. If you’re so knowledgeable about cars then why did you buy it? That’s one of the best cars ever made and all you can do is criticise it.
@@petedunning9871 awesome cars!! Maintenance nightmares:-) thanks for watching!!!
@8:12 Always!!
Hey rich. Add me to the list of fans. You have a great unique presentation style that is relatable
The R230's what?
I don't care about zero -to 60.times..... Then at 2:57..... What a bunch of dumb crock...... More important is writing one's name in the suede...... and you go on and on contradicting yourself....... One hand at the steering wheel (very irresponsible and looks so dumb) and so on....... Plus the cartoon head........

Nice work Thanks for posting.

Have you done an alternator on this car? Mine is bad and looks like I have to pull it out through the top by moving the air in the air pump and moving the reservoirs all the way. Replaced the Voltage regulator didn’t fix the battery light Car dies when I disconnect the negative
@@jayi836 I have not…sold that car to my brother about two years ago…I remember that V12 engine bay being sooo tight!!
Hello, where did you get the pump?
I believe I bought it on EBay from a seller called “carsteering”…thanks for watching!!
Cool.... But hey.... WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
@@diamonddee178 I moved locations after Covid and sold some of the cars. I’m in a new space now and will be making new content soon! I still have the Bentley, the convertible BMW and the Grand Wagoneer…and temporarily a Ferrari 360 Spyder gated manual..I sold the SL600 to my brother!!Thx!!!
I had the same car in 95 it had sport line suspension which set it of great car
Awesome thanks for watching!!!
I bought a voltage transformer from China thru Ebay for the W220 & it's been almost 5 yrs so far.... I'm hoping with China's bootleg market that they copied the better version....they have a fleet of fake S-classes over in their market.
Nice work thanks for sharing.

I made my own replacement harness for my 93 10 years ago.still driving it.
Nice work!!! I had to splice the harness for the MAF sensors but didn’t have the courage to make the upper harness:-) thanks for watching!
LOl, "It's going to lop your hand off". Thanks for sharing your car.
Thanks for watching!!!
I just broke the same boost sensor on my 03 s600, do you bychance know the correct part number for it ? I cant find it anywhere.
Thank you for the detail on this video. I'm going to have to address a major leak i have and plan to rebuild the box. Is the pitman arm extractor something you borrowed from the local autoparts store? Would a hammer have worked, lol.
I actually replaced the wiring one by one and made my own harness on one side, after the mechanic had told my dad that the harness was very expensive. now i suspect the other side is going bad, since i got the dreaded ASR light and seems to be in limp mode. i didn't take anything apart on this, my dads mechanic did. he had mentioned to my dad that i should fix the other side before it went out. now i i have to deal with it. i could have swore, those plugged into the throttle body. are the throttle body's in the front of the car????
Which city ?
Nashville…Thanks for watching!!!
This is one of the best looking SLs!! Too bad is unreliable as hell

I found a black locally for 11k but its black all my cars are white but the cl has always been favorite next to a 850 bmw guy says its got new coil packs and i believe new shocks and gas alot of maintenance records im just scared of it if the tranny goes out it will cost more than the car is worth lol
There’s a 3rd bolt on the back kicked my butt for like 30 mins

Performances doesn’t matter then goes on to mention how it does🤣
Just got a 2005 with only 50,000 miles.. it’s a dream to drive. So mint.
Wow that is super low miles!! I love this engine/chassis combo…just one of those cars that you don’t need stats to know it’s special!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
How did you determine the pump needed to be replaced?
Great video with great insight. I just bought an 02 CL- 600 with 50k original miles.
Congratulations!!!! From initial startup to cruising at 80 there’s nothing like a V12:-) You will love it!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Always wanted a W220 but it’s very rare to find a well kept maintained one. Very nice car tho.
Thanks for watching!! They got cheap pre-Covid and a lot of them ended up in the hands of folks overwhelmed by the maintenance requirements so now it’s tough to find a clean one. I would say mine was NOT well maintained before I bought it and it would have been over $10k to pay a shop to do all the work I did on it!! It’s almost always cheaper long term to buy one that was been well looked after like what your saying!!!
This and a 2014 CLS AMG are my favs but I’m too scared mind you I got a C7/Infiniti cause atleast I can fix em by my self mostly
That's the worst car ever made. A Yugo is more reliable!
Probably agree!!! But man that v12 twin turbo….thx for watching and commenting!!!
Do you have a part code for this? Im having 2004 S65 AMG and would maby need the same product.
Wow, I want this car, only difference is I want the LWB / Long Wheel Base / S600L and in custom Mercedes-Benz Jet Black ❤❤❤ be my fancy VIP luxury car.
Something interesting I have noticed the euro spec cars don't seem to have this problem atleadt in my experience with the r129 600s Maybe this was only a usa requirement for the biodegradable wiring. Also interesting I noticed on the mercedes only the important wiring seems to have this problem like the injection harness, throttle bodies and starter harness. The main harness for the accessories and what not are always fine
I went to buy a 2003 w220 s600 with 69k km on it, and I was put off by the fact that car lifts up and down while idling for no reason. the soft close doesn't work, bootlid closes manually and the massage seat function doesn't work. it was also clear that there is a noise resembling somewhat of an air leak but I did not know where it was coming from or what it was. please advise thank you.
Was the pump making a whining noise in addition to the low pressure issue?
Yes, there was definitely a high-pitched whining that was going on that went away after I replaced the pump. Thanks for watching!
Man I love it, and such an amazing investment to get it out on the road, I would of guessed you paid big buck's if you hadn't mentioned it .. WOW
Do you still have the car
I do! As much as I’d berated that car for being a potential maintenance nightmare it has actually been really reliable. I’ve put probably 3000 miles on it and it’s been a joy :-) thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi, I would like to ask you some specific questions to carry out maintenance correctly including bleeding the entire system because I replaced the entire pump. Thank you for your help
Have you ever reached 100 degrees for the coolant?
super unreliable
100% agree!! Worth it, but agree!!!
