Flex is a legend. No idea where he finds all of these cars left to die, but he resuscitates and revives them by breathing new life into them. Well done mate. Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤
Yeah right....the last 30 years of their vehicles r crap.....in the garage a More than the road The old mechanical diesels are a different story Just like Volkswagen and audi
I love these old Mercedes vans. Amazing how the old diesel fired up so easily after all that time. That is real reliability. I bet few modern vehicles would do that after sitting for 15 years.
Ahh those Mercedes vans of the 1980s and early 90s! I remember seeing TONNES of those here in Belgium. Now those models have long disappeared but the recent generation Mercedes Sprinters continue to dominate our roads!
Beautifully, that you bring this old girl back to life on the road. I hope you can sell your cars, which you ever find and rescue, on good buyer in your county 👍
It's absolute madness when you see a vehicle like this composting in a field or scrubland so this bloke breathing new life into it is brilliant getting it properly on the road should give it another 15 years... GRT upload... watched one yesterday I think it was a Russian oil or water Bowser he got everything working and drove it around a field it sounded and looked GRT I just imagine it all fixed up clutch)gearbox and electrics fully working...👍
Especially since they don't have a engine to start haha but yes, after sitting for 15 years the lithium battery will not hold any charge, let alone the stupid computer systems refusing to power the motor unless everything is perfect and it receives the latest update from Tesla, and once it has verified with a remote Tesla service.... which the servers hosting that service went down 10 years ago
Mercedes Benz sitting abandoned long time need new battery engine is good condition awesome video friend bless you German vehicles keep bringing new videos soon flexiny it's moving congratulations
I learnt my trade on these and the early sprinters which basically had the same engine. The only real issue these ever had that I can remember was the gear linkage on side off the gearbox, sometimes they get stuck In two gears did not need no fancy computer just one size fits all spanner (🔨) 😁
There's a 208 petrol van near me. It's been stood for 24 yrs and i bet the a new battery, a service and fresh petrol it would probably fire right up. T1's were built to rust though.
In India this vehicle is called tempo traveller manufactured by force motors and only major difference between actual mercedes is they're made from leftover mercedes parts😀!
We have old rusty 310D rusting away. Kinda shame. Damn that thing is slow. But, runs with WVO, doesn't need electricity, lasts forever and "turns on a dime".
Oh, I always waiting when you upload new video, thank you. By the way, could you write on film did you buy it or just found the cars on barn then you got free? Are you restore then you sell its? Thanks for the information. Regards
Mercedes is the best quality made car's I watch many videos like this mostly American cars but American can't compare to German in building quality. Mercedes after 15 years no problem like new American after 15 years have to take everything apart to get started 😂😂
You are lucky to find old cars in the wild. In my area, there is people of let's say a certain persuasion/lifestyle that will help themselves to anything of metal that is not bolted down to the ground. All in the name of recycling of course!
I love how he fires right away and starts within seconds of cranking.... after sitting for 15 years!
These old Mercedes are a reliable force!

He may get them running but most of them are so rusted that they can never be used in traffick again.
Thats why i absolutely love Mercedes, 540.000km, stands for years and starts like its brand new 🔥😍
Older mercedes I adore, but modern ones just don't have that same flare anymore
These old ones are great indeed. The new ones are absolutly crap with timing chain failure at 100.000km.
Yeah right....the last 30 years of their vehicles r crap.....in the garage a
More than the road
The old mechanical diesels are a different story
Just like Volkswagen and audi
🥰🥰🥰
Man ofc old is gold

Man, that engine still has some power in it! I am glad that you could make it work again!
Those engines last forever
Just like the MK5 SMILEY 😎

After a couple of burps and squeals, that engine ran without skipping a beat. ❤
Beautifully, that you bring this old girl back to life on the road. I hope you can sell your cars, which you ever find and rescue, on good buyer in your county 👍
Nice parking job. Paint it green and leave it in the field :D
Fired up that quickly even after 15 years. Absolute unit. 👍

Man so many cool cars like this to restore... That one is awesome...
I am very sure that I will never see a video with the title “Starting abandoned Tesla after 15 years”.
Especially since they don't have a engine to start haha

I think a Tesla will never runs after 15 years abandoned … I hat this fucking Musk Car 🚘 I love my Mercedes Vito 112 Diesel ❤️
Even the tacho from this Benz can beat the whole system of a Tesla
So much advanced electronics in a tesla,you have to be happy if it works from day to day😄
@@terjetytland884 yep - and after 10 years abandoned you must pray 🙏 that hopefully the lights outside still works 🤣🤣
I have a 208 d. I am glad how you bringed it back on the road.
Wouldn't be a Mercedes diesel if it didn't sound like a robot chewing shotgun shells.
That noise would be mainly injector knock......common on old mechanical diesels
Man just gotta love your videos! The effort you put on your starts its like minimum, greetings from portugal!
Thanks!
This is a good, reliable car. But it rots very well, too.
Those old diesel engines are absolute bulletproof and keeps on running forever! The rest of the bodywork just rots away like you’ve said!
It is expected on a 30+ old car with 500k km especially parked outside in grass with moisture.
@@chrisromanczuk1468 I didn't mean this particular car, but about the fact that this model likes to rust.
@@rustblood6718 any old mercs like to rot, but engines are like rocks, they roll forever
@@snoopfin3736 absolutely
Diesel never dies💪
Old diesel never dies*
@@b.andrei84 why old?
@@Amgmerc11919 because modern diesel have a lot of stupid electronic for reducing polluation and that fact reduse realiability, at least in the EU
@@b.andrei84 ok that's why i have a c15 in france from 1988 and a renault 4cv from 1957

Very interesting video. Mercedes commercial vehicles are not very common in my area, so I enjoyed seeing this one brought back to life.
Ground underneath the car after you towed it away: "Daylight!!"
These videos are awesome! I’ve really learned a lot from these videos from cars!
Thank you!
Мерседес он и в Африке Мерседес! 👍
That was pretty much on the button. Impressive seeing how long it's stood.
4:26 our great hero!
How smooth the egine is after all those years of sitting
Another classic and cool van from Mercedes Benz! These were still so popular to drive in the 90s, too. When I was born and a little kid...
Thanks for posting! No narration is the best thing on top of great work!
That started up very well considering how long it’s been sitting
These mercedes buses was the main public transport in 🇦🇿 In 2000s.Also mercedes is one of the most popular car in my country.
Land Rover is mush more better
@@dmytryblyzniuk8211 Land Rover sucks expect RR Sport with 3.6 v8 diesel
You are wrong, engines in Land Rover are much more reliable and more better for driving, German cars are sucks
@@dmytryblyzniuk8211 only LR reliable engines are 4.4 ford diesel and 3.6 diesel and 4.2 supercharged.Other engines are sucks
2.7 Diesel engines in Land Rover are also much more better then in Mercedes
5:03 the magic of these engines
Great video flexiny, great work, started straight away, German engineering 👌, lovely old van👌😀👍
Mercedes Benz sitting abandoned long time need new battery engine is good condition awesome video friend bless you German vehicles keep bringing new videos soon flexiny it's moving congratulations
wow. it starts like a new one. and no smoke...
Still less smokey than a modern turbo diesel

mercedes t1
My father’s 1988 409D truck started by just replacing new battery. It was standing for years. Now we use it for our shop
the engine starts when it sees the key, and actually the screwdriver
Amazing! Congratulations @Flexiny for this great job! ✌🏻
Ni gari nzuri sana kwa mzingira ya huku kwetu Afrika
DUDE, You have the best cars in the world I'm so jealous over here.... WOW!!!!!!
Ever been to Kinshasa, Congo? These vans are still the backbone of public transportation, running 4-5 Million kms fully loaded every day.
Glad to see the mercedez can work again
Great Job getting it back in running condition!
Прикольно. Надо , что то перевести пошел в поле взял автобус завел. Дела сделал и поставил на место.
I Love all your Videos. The old Mercedes engines was the best of all. I will buy a W124 200d soon 👍
Such a SWEET LITTLE wheels :-) Super Flexiny!!!
Какие моторы делали классные.
Этот движок в турбинованом варианте ставили на Спринтера вплоть до 2000 года
Remember these well in the 80s very reliable solid Van's no turbo so no problem same as old 2.5 transit I think it sounds like one.lol
Раньше немцы делали неубиваемую технику
точнее неубиваемую ходовку и двигателя с коробками, зато кузова гниют только в путь

Those mercedes 5 cylinders must be the most bullitproof engines😄
Машине еще жить и жить. Мотор в достойном состоянии
Можно кабину сбросить и самодельный бортовой грузавичок замутить .
Back from the days when Merc were made expensive but very well engineered. Today you cross your fingers that Renault made the engine!
I like how Flexiny looked around before step closer to the van.
Hey flex hope you and the puppy is good I'm still here
Complimenti per il vostro impegno (mi piace questo modello)il motore canta bene 😀✌️
Mercedes definitely know how to make a good engine but forgot about the security of their vans
Starts with a screwdriver 😂😂
бодро стартанул , будто и не стоял вовсе
Una nave espacial el Mercedes!!! Excelente....
Una t2, irrompible

Used to see these all over! Rare sight now.
The corpse has rotted away but the heart is still pounding in this one..
Mercedes engines are really impressive
Where does he find these dinosaur gems flexiny you're a wizard my good sir love the content 👌🤟

This truck is imortal. It's start's fast when is just Battery problem. Great job 👍
سيارة مرسيدس 310d كنت أمتلك واحدة ب4 عجلات بدل من 6 عجلات إنها بنسبتي لي بيت متنقل بمعنى الكلمة أتمنى أن تتحول الى سيارة كهربائية .
Excellent work.....like always :) 😋💪💪💪💪
Amazing engine start
Can you look for a vehicle from the year 1940 or 1930? I would like to see if they start and if they move, greetings! The best videos to distract me
Unbelievable! Marvelous!
I can't believe NO MUSIC ! well done
We have old rusty 310D rusting away. Kinda shame. Damn that thing is slow. But, runs with WVO, doesn't need electricity, lasts forever and "turns on a dime".
I'm a big fan of old mercedes,they just keep going..not like the new mercedes today
Это удивительно что даже смешно что он завёлся. )) старый всё механическое всё надёжно.
Se merece volver a la vida 😇
🤯 pure symphony! ❤🙏🏻
Old times were better times. Just the same with cars
Like it's just been sat over a year... That poor engine probably has at least another 500k left in it!
what a nice country and these abandoned vehicles you can keep them I'm Wagner from Brazil
Oh, I always waiting when you upload new video, thank you.
By the way, could you write on film did you buy it or just found the cars on barn then you got free?
Are you restore then you sell its?
Thanks for the information. Regards
Hi, one guy found this car and bought it. I just helped to start it. 😀
Thank you, sir. Best job and always best mechanic.
Thanks!
The true meaning of word rustbucket
These old MB engines will outlive all of the chasies
Such a beautiful van. We had several of these and would take them to Germany to run markets. Solid vans. T1👌🏽
Thank God
Как такое возможно что машина несколько лет простояла на обочине дороги еще и в рабочем состоянии. Даже магнитолу не сдернули
Потому что это не Россия.

Класс мерс есть мерс!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍100!!!!
