Great job. 💪 You didn’t mention where the oil leak came from. Mercedes mechanic from Belgium here. The oil leak comes probably from the oil filter housing/oil cooler. Very common point of failure on these ones. Hope this helps 🙏
Indeed. Old is gold though. (Talking about Mercedes-Benz) 60’s to I would say max 2010 ish you can get good quality and reliable cars. The car industry has a few serious cancer’s last years (not limited to German brands): - Planned obsolescence (quality down the wazoo) - Financial structures (stock market shares/greedy and unqualified managers) - Government mandated electric cars production (It costs car manufacturer’s sometimes up to 30k LOSS per microwave on wheels they sell/economically not viable) Buy stuff from times when manufacturers were proud of their product. Spoiler ‼️ Those days are long gone.
not necessarily, mercedes benz in the early 2000's and up to id say 2016 they are pretty reliable and efficient, also with the right tools very easy to work on
No they aren’t. Worst engine Mercedes made! M271 engine made in 03-05 with supercharger reintroduced with a turbo. No Mercedes mechanic will agree with you! Full on garbage!!
So you get basically a 6 day work week done in a day and a half huh don't really add up I understand the concept I used to be a mechanic but i don't believe what you said one bit
@@Semo_420 Im not talking about car repair shop. This is industrial. Believe it! I can only assume they that they gave me so many hours to do it is that it boosts productivity numbers and makes the shop look more efficient and job security for the managers. Other depts get 10 hrs to do a job and it takes 25 or so. They tell me that it balances out. I'm not a fantastic maniac of a great worker, the numbers are just wrong. I call it cheating the system to keep corporate happy. No lie.
Great job. 💪

it was the oil filter/cooler housing!
@@RoadsideRescue Awesome 😜🤙
What ended up being the total time to replace the starter?
At least the starter is not located inside the bell housing.
No AutoZone starters or alternator for me. They used to have a lot of reliability issues on those items.
😂my sisters gone through like 5 starters from them but only 2 alternators
the dealer make money quick huh
Where’s the Cummins swap?!?!
That’s so unfortunate German cars over 100k have so many problems
