Very important point you made in the end there. Not many mechanics follow this principle. Before I purchased my car, the brakes/front struts required replacing before the car could pass safety. These parts were replaced at a mechanic, that I did not choose and while the old parts were replaced with new components, the mechanic never bothered to return the old parts which I could have sold and recouped some of the costs required to replace them. Edit: I understand that in most cases, customers do not want those parts back. However, I still feel like it's the duty of the mechanic to at least ask customers if they want them back.
Thats why I work on my own mercedes or only give it to mercedes specialists, you go to any no name shop with a mercedes, they will destroy it working on it...
NO WAY ON EARTH THIS CAR HAS DONE 43000 KM'S. THEY HAVE TAMPERED WITH THE ODOMETER READING. THIS CAR LOOKS WORN OUT. NO WAY A 43K MILAGE CAN EVER BE IN THAT CONDITION. IM SUREM THIS CAR HAS DONE OVER 150K EASILY.
Forget about the coolant leak... that lifter tick needs to be fixed!! LOL That ticking is so loud, I would doubt that it's the fuel injectors causing it. Actually on second thought, maybe one of the pulleys is bad???
First it's direct injection and second the microphone of my camera it's focus on the sound, If you watch my other videos with di engines you can hear similar sound.
@@SickCorruption I ended up needing to swap out the engine. Turns out there was metal shavings in the oil pan due to one of timing chain guards had a broken piece off it, which led to the timing chain slapping around. This is what was the "ticking" sound. But after changing out the engine.. everything running perfectly now!
Tasos, you r a professional. Brilliant findings on the MB C 3OO , leading to the coolant leak !! Thanx for sharing this information !!

Hi, mate
What o rig was missing? Dose the radiator plug has one or two o rings?
The point is that the job that was done on this car was a shit job that caused the leak.
