Really enjoy your videos, I too have a W203 Project vehicle that I am slowly sorting out all the many issues, One issue I am facing is the upstream cats inefficient catalytic converters. After replacing O2 sensors and also up stream cats I still have the same issue and I am now exploring the front engine bay SAM as I think I have an electrical issue causing the issue, also have sun roof motor issue which I will address when I repair the head liner. the vehicle is a 2003 C32 AMG. It too also need the interior roof liner redoing and some of the trim as well a rear suspension refresher kit install. I also have another 2003 C32 I've had over 14 yrs. now that I will be completing the rear suspension refresh on in the coming weeks. This vehicle has a lot of performance mods and is garage kept, I last drove the vehicle a year ago and don't put many miles on her. looking forward to your next video
If I had done the work you have done, I'd be looking at the SAM next too. I just looked up the pricing of C32 AMGs near me.... Well out of my price range! 😂 I'm not sure if you are only up to this episode or whether you have viewed the whole playlist. There are 8 episodes on the Mercedes, and at this stage I'm calling it finished. They are available in this playlist here..... th-cam.com/play/PLmj39-BAW1GNMER0MCIx6PC0SejZL5ABl.html
Admittedly, I haven't watched a lot of W203 content on TH-cam, and this is the first Mercedes I've ever owned. I'm sure there is better content out there for the W203 platform, but I appreciate the support! Thank you! (I'm releasing videos every 2 weeks at this stage, so the next one will be out in a week from the time of this comment)
Impact guns work well on those brake rotor retention bolts, so long as they aren't stripped. Then you wont have to brace it with a pry bar. But hey whatever works Hombre.
I'm going to make a cost breakdown video after the car is finished. I got a lot of the parts from Ebay and Amazon. Some parts can be had cheaper, some require sourcing from OE suppliers (For example, I will only buy genuine MAF sensors, or source them from the OE suppliers)
I have some links to similar parts, but can't find my receipts as I gave them to the new owner. Hope this helps!

Looking forward to the next video. Best w203 series on TH-cam I've seen

i watch a lot of diy 203 content and this is one of the best.

You know, one day I might actually go and buy myself an impact or two....
Meanwhile, I'm living in the dark ages. 😆
Bite the bullet and buy one. I got a Milwaukee fuel that has like 1400 lb ft of loosening torque. Literally it’s first use it payed for itself
Another great video. Where did you get the parts and what sort of cost?

what pressure cleaner is that
It's a ToolPro 6.5hp 2900psi petrol pressure washer. I picked it up from Supercheap Auto. The smaller trigger without a lance came from TradeTools.
