It runs and drives fine once first started and once warmed up it has rough idle and starts shaking like a pick up truck and eventually stalls out once I put in drive or reverse, and won’t start back up until I leave it for a couple hours then starts right up like nothing was ever wrong until once’s warmed up and starts shaking like a truck ,
I’ve replaced : maf sensor , intake boot, coils , spark plugs, oil change, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP @50sKid
@50sKid please help any input on my previous comment ?? PLEASE HELP ANY HELP/ADVICE WILL BE VERY VERY MUCH APPRECIATED !!
What a lucky neighbor to be living next to Jason 🤣
Lucky neighbour indeed 😆
Jason , enjoyed the content ! I don’t even own a Mercedes but I still watched because you make it interesting! Thanks for coming back
Same.
I agree.
Dude. We missed you! Welcome back!! I live not too far from you and visited some of the same LKQ yards.
When you've made your E46 reliable and you're waiting for the next thing, what do you do? You work on neighbor's car. :)
And that neighbor needs all the help he can get, because he bought a cheap and fast AMG that's quite fun... but wasn't properly maintained for a long time!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Once again, great to see you back!
glad your back
Glad you are back buddy!
Why am i even watching this..i dont own a mercedes. I guess am hooked on the presenter. I truly love the way you explain things
28:14 Gotta love his innuendos 😆
Jason, thanks for your new video. Nice that you found back, stay healthy and have a nice Christmas.
lg. mike
Just wanted to personally say thanks for this one Jason... transmission did just fine after this. No more slipping, it almost runs like new! ...except for all the other fluids I'm leaking.
u lucky my guy hope you gave jason some cash for the job
Absolutely brilliant Jason
Second!!! We missed you buddy!!!
THX for recording and uploading!!
great to see you tooling again. always love a 50svid
Best in depth ever.
Well done.
The kid is back! Good to see again mate, recently passed my NCT (National Car Test) thanks to your coil over installation video. Respect to you, all the way from Ireland :)
I'm looking into buying a C32 and found your channel. This was really informative and to the point!
Great Video , could also tell you made a lot of effort editing it, kept it short and informative . Started watching you when i bought a E 39 way back 6-7 years ago. Still running good 1999 double vanos. But yea thanks for your content :D
Welcome back!
Hey man, good come back .. i just wana say that the 722.6 fluid level check must be performed with the engine ON and idling otherwise u will under-fill it cause once u turn the car off the fluid will drain back into the pan and falsely indicate good level ..
Ah, perhaps why I was having so much difficulty -- I'll recheck the level with it running
50sKid don’t believe the cold level either get it up to temp then check it and leave the red tab out the cap will stay put and you can keep an eye on the quality and quantity of the fluid regularly
@@vr-cx6lq I checked it again properly, the level was perfect
Nice to see you back at it. A lot of tools you showcased, I have bought because of you.
This is goona be a good sunday :)
I've sorted my E39 after learning from your videos (and some others).
And now, this video. Unbeliavable, my other car is a Mercedes :)
Wow just watched last 3 videos,glad to no your ok, massively saved me a fortune on my 325i. Almost feel like a professional the amount of parts i changed. Take care Jason 🇺🇸👍
I love your videos Jason!! ❤️
Good to have back bud.
Jason could post a DIY repair video on anything and I'd still watch it. You helped me rescue my e46, and I'm always eager to learn more about cars because of it. Even if it's a car I don't own. Who knows? Maybe with this knowledge I can help a friend service their Mercedes transmission.
That's a great video. Just what I wanted to see before I tackle this job on my own car
50skid is back!! im a big fan of your detailed repair videos! and i see that you have your own cameraman now :D
My neighbor, who owns this car, is a hollywood camera man. He filmed episodes of Overhaulin'
Jason is slowly coming back and we couldn’t be happier!
You did a very good job. Checking the fluid can be a tricky thing on 722.6. Reading the dip stick does not always give you a clear answer. A couple of tips. 1) You can raise the hood higher into the service position by pressing the tabs on the hinges. 2) The old fluid draining out was extremely dirty. Recommend to do another drain and refill very soon. I used up 3 of those large Pentosin ATF bottles to get the fluid back to the clear cherry red color. Now the shifts are butter smooth.
Apparently there is a drain plug for the torque converter so you don't even have to do so many flush and fills to get back to cherry red. Darn nice of Mercedes!
@@50sKid Noted... might still do that.
The original spot for the magnet is at the front like you thought. It has definitely been changed before seeing as it was down on the side. I did my S55 722.6 a few months ago, and yes like you noted, always check transmission fluid levels with the engine running. Goes for any auto trans. Love the video!
Great stuff. Thanks mate.
I love how he Explains it on my level
Nice video and format. YES, FCP Euro is totally the best ever for German and Swedish cars!! Can get OEM, OE, etc and lifetime warranty. Merci
Great video. Great to have you back. I have 3 BMWs. Now I want a Mercedes too.
This thing is a blast to drive. 349 hp, 347 ft-lbs of torque, magnetically-clutched supercharger that's actually surprisingly quiet and kicks off during "normal" driving. Nothing quite like having a 13 second car that can still get 29 mpg on the freeways.
great video!
Great job
AVE said the weakest part of the older style milwakuee ratchet would be the head. Since I have one. I just use my to zip stuff off and I break bolts with a regular ratchet. Do miss you without your glasses
Finally some Mercedes content.. :-)
Good neighborliness. Didn't know you also handle Mercedes. Great video man.
Very informative video, thanks a lot.
Jason, the bolts on the transmission pan are one time use stretch bolts (at least on my GL 550 with 722.9). They are I believe a 10Nm initial torque with a 90 degrees additional torque. But since yours went in with out any issues, I guess no harm done. Awesome content Jason, good to see you back.
I just replaced coolant hoses and water pipe under intake manifold on a BMW 328i! What a nightmare! I am almost cried! I will finish tomorrow... I hope my car will run again lol
Brilliant!
Omg I just bought a 2001 SL500 you are heaven sent
Very nice video thank you so much
Hi Jason blessings
Greetings from Poland mate! I'm watching to know what I got inside of mine C32!
Top channel
On the BMW the original ZF gasket is a thin and hard one like you say but I got hold of a Mann aftermarket gasket and it is thicker and softer.
Awesome video dude. 1️⃣✔
We need to donate you Car Lift
First time watcher bro...your really good at this and I'm all like no shit.. lol didn't know mercedes was so complicated..but I see how to fix that vehicle if need some great advice..Great job
I just oulf have torqued those with a torque wrench. Otherwise great video as usual, good to see you back.
Great video! How much more did you have to add after you checked with the car running?
I've done this job a couple of times. Two things. When you removed the big round connector it was covered in oil inside. On some cars it has happened that the oil will wick up the cable into the engine compartment where the transmission control computer lives. The fluid will destroy the computer board. Easy to check. Second, I have stripped the nut that holds the round connector to the conductor plate with a 1/4" ratchet that was only 4" long and I didn't torque it very hard. I cringed when you used the battery tool, even by hand. The torque spec is really small. It's a threaded brass insert molded into plastic and the fix is a new conductor plate. Otherwise, nice video. Be ready to take a bath in atf.
Yeah I getcha, I should set a better example because people will try to copy me and mess it up with that tool. I just have a lot of experience with it and can feel when I'm about to break things.

Very interesting. No matter if it's an e46 or a Mercedes: it's mechanic!
Nevertheless, as an e46 owner, i still need new content. Don't break your car just to repair it, but i love your content! 😁
Man i can't believe you not a professional auto technician, you sure got balls
in the next video:
"Hey guys, I'm the 50sKid, and this is my Mercedes S-class.."
Good to see you back at it Jason. Great Video. What app are you using on your tablet to pull codes. Can you do a review or point me to your review of it. Thanks
That's actually a launch tablet. X431 Pros Mini
@@50sKid Thanks will look for some info on it
Great video! More Mercedes-Benz videos please?! Just try to slow down a little... lol. Seems like you're really rushing.
If he's willing to continue working on my C32, I've got a handful of other issues that need attention that are above my pay grade lol
@@drewsuppa Yes, they always have more issues don't they?? I am also a socal independent MB mechanic, if there is anything he doesn't want to tackle, let me know!
Hey Jason, get a nice old Mercedes with the m272 eng and 722.9 trans. There are a ton of cars with that combination. It would be good content
Liqui Moly also comes with that handy integrated spout in the 5L engine oil bottles. You should really try that stuff in your E46; there's nothing better for German engines.
Im gonna ignore that BMW thing u said, because i like ur channel:)
Just happened to see your video on Milwaukee 12V fuel ratchet 3/8 and 1/4, in comparison with the non fuel version. You said the fuel was your new favorite and now years later, it turned to be wrong and useless
I have no Mercedes but here I am watching the 50sKid work
Please check that the intermediate connector is in place. I watched the video several times and it seems to me that the connector did not fully fit into place. Тhere is a difference before removal and after installation back. Sorry if I'm wrong, but please check out the video. Anyway I'm glad to see you in action!
Thanks, I don't see the difference in the video, but I am certain it was in. I could feel the bolt threads catch and tighten as I was torquing it!
I noticed he checked then re-checked then more than once checked again so I think he is very conscious of what he's doing. (and it looked to me like he got it tight}
Holy shit, you're an astrophotographer. I knew I liked you for some reason.
hi may i ask how do i get a m50 intake manifold from as im in england and there very rare over here
Hey, Jason enjoy your videos, what are you using to lift up the car btw? also what type of jack you are using, I am lifting up my BMW its enough for oil change, but not enough space for the transmission.
pep boys ramps
what scanner are you using to clear the code
Is this routine maintenance that should be done on these vehicles every time the transmission fluid is drained and replaced? Considering how annoying it can be to have to drop the trans pan in winter, maybe there's a service interval?
Haven’t seen any vids of yours in awhile. Are you still driving your BMW
He is still driving that car, watch his previous video
Good to see you back, could you tell us why the o2 pilot mod is a bad idea in cold climates? Im in the uk and thinking of doing this mod, but im worried th uk climate is too cold. Thanks
I don't think it's a bad idea in cold climates -- you just have to drill a little hole through the outside shield on the cold climate version of the oil separator in order to get the vacuum hose inside and onto the port.
@@50sKid thanks for replying 🙏
My uk e46 m54 doesn't come with the insulated ccv kit as standard, so will be replacing the ccv with the standard kit. My engine is really consuming oil, so im going to replace the ccv and other potential vacuum leak parts first. If theres no improvement or only a little improvement then i will try the o2 pilot mod. I wasn't sure if the o2 pilod mod was a good idea if theres a chance of freezing temperatures during the winter months. Do you know of anything else i could try to help with the oil consumption?
Thanks 👍
@@joefowler9600 use a slightly higher viscosity oil
@@callumw8719 started using 5w30 instead of 0w30 about 6 months ago, but i dont think it's made much of a difference TBH.
I'm just in the middle of replacing the CCV while im off work. I've found the lower intake boot had an open crack in it, the idle control valve was sticking and the CCV had a bit of mayo inside the unit and the hose to the dipstick looked to be a bit clogged up. Im going to put it back together and see if theres any improvement, if not going to try the o2 pilot mod.
@@50sKid hey 50s, hope your well.
I've just carried out the 02 pilot mod and ccv change a couple of days ago. My car stopped smoking almost immediately. But a couple of days later, i started the car and still no smoke, got about a 1/2 mile up the road and its started smoking worse than ever.
Have you any ideas what could have gone wrong, or what i should check first. I have stopped using the car at the moment, so your help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏
C55 amg 制動器有什麽建議? 謝谢
Curious if this fixed it? I had the same issues. Coolant was leaking into Transmission, which is widely documented as a problem with these, ended up having entire transmission rebuilt.
You jammed that terminal bulkhead on without any lube.
That's never good.
Hey man. I know I’m probably under the wrong video but I’m in need of help badly on my 2003 330ci. My transmission is in safe mood and will only go into 3rd gear. It won’t switch only goes into reverse and park and neutral. My dash does not show what gear and my reverse lights or the camera won’t come on. And fuse number three 30amp keeps popping every time I change it. And the computer won’t communicate with the transmission. It drives still but only in 3rd gear. Is there anyway you can help ?? That would be highly highly appreciated
I dunno Jason. My e46 has 187K miles on it, never had a trans drain / flush and it still shifts as good as new.
23.35 if you wet the o rings with a little oil it will go in easier. plus best not to use the bolt to pull in the plug as you can brake the nut lose, if that happens you'll need to re replace the conductor plate. don't ask me how I no
Ratio means slipping usually... Conductor plate will throw a speed sensor code....
Yo awesome
How much mercades recmend, 4 litre or 3.5, then put that much.
Don’t you have to turn the car on and cycle through the gears ?
In Mercedes you can open the hood all the way up for you to work easier
“BMW is like the GM of Germany” LMAO
You look so different without glasses.
e46 328i vehicle idling olurmusunuz I have not found help in the cog of the master turkiyede falls on the self and doing fluctuations
while putting in the fluid you could have just opened the hood to a 90 degree angle
While you're working on this. Change the grill back to standard. Them big logo grills are the worst. 🤣
Whoa. Who's on the camera?
That is my neighbor who owns this car. He's a hollywood camera man
would love to have you as a neighbor 😂
Simple .
...measure out 8.5 quartz, this is the total capacity amp for this transmission.
28:13 "You don't want to be in the wrong hole, guys." ;)
Gotta love getting ATF all over your arms - at least you didn't also get it all over your face and through the hair like I normally do.
Great video, very interesting. Oh yeah, german cars have the best gaskets! Lol.
Put some wheels under the wheels of the car when it's in the air on stands
