The Benz House is a great place to watch DIY videos on how to work on your classic Benz and install some performance upgrades; as well as a journey to building some awesome projects with Mr. James. The DIY videos should make you feel like you have a helping hand working on your own car at home in your garage. The Benz House is not just my house it's everywhere and everyone it's right at home where you are!
Hello sir, I watched your efi video list and I was amazed. I intend to buy a w124 300E, but I heard that k-jet does not work well with LPG. Does converting to efi solve this problem? Is installing a turbo a problem for LPG?
I have a very strange leak on my 126 260se m103 from that area but only leaks a little bit when the car is cold overnight when the engine is hot it doesn’t leak. car doesn’t overheat or anything so the pump seems good it might be only the seal problem but to do all that job to remove the pump is beyond my skills unfortunately. Isn’t it possible to put a glue or something from outside ? 😅
@@gcgj1540 unfortunately not it's a common issue to leak from that seal you just have to replace it sorry 😅 there is no room for it to get glued anyway even if you could do that
у меня 190e m102 2.0 электронный впуск, хватает ли родного масленого и топливного насоса + разве не нужен радиатор для охлаждения воздуха на впуск? В остальном все понимаю как сделать.
If I wanted to remove the driveshaft, does the whole hub need to be taken off or undoing the m10’s on the driveshaft assembly will allow me to remove it? Thanks in advanced sir
@@thebenzhouse ahh that simple? I dont need to remove the hub to pull it out like some cars? It will have enough space to take it out without hub removal? Thank you
@@joflexx.. yes it does have enough room to pull out you'll pull it towards the wheel get the lip out of the diff and you'll need to twist and turn it to take it out of the hub side but yessir you do not need to remove the hub so 1st take all bolts out then push out of the diff 1st then the hub easy pezzy
Hey, I always watch your videos!! great info there!.. finally realized (once my kid told me) that I should subscribe.... (new to how this all works) But, I have a w108 that I'm going to build up with a couple little upgrades and this turbo m103 swap looks like a better option for me than my original straight 6.. I have a 1989 300ce donor that's wrecked but motor and trans are still strong.. any advice? thx!
That will be a great donor car. And thank you for subscribing I appreciate it 😉. If you ever need any help with your swap be sure to msg me on IG if you have it if not you can always msg me here I'll see it and msg you back asap! That's gonna be a great swap and build man good luck have fun and take your time
Not a good idea to use reusable filter.. for such sensitive Maschines like combustion engine. Ok I wrote it before I saw you drilling oil pan without taking it off 😫😫
@@thebenzhouse Fine! Im automotive engineer, i also related to engineers of Mann Filter in Germany i also visited R&D center .. so there is way more tech inside of a oil or air filter as in coffee filter :) I know in US you use K&N washable air filter .. its crazy but I never heard ob reusable oil filter. But ok. Maybe you right and im only a Victoire Marketing, who knows, but 16 miles kind short period. Hope your engine do well further mate! Of course its nonsense to talk about oil filter while you have aluminum chips in the oilpan. No front- I just very horrified! Your car, you do what you think is right for you! But that’s why we are skeptical about US import cars in Europe..
@@thebenzhouse there two service intervals, two oil changes. Maybe you wouldn’t see any problems in this period without oil filter at all, who knows. But problem would increase cumulatively. Once I drove w201 250d with over 1 Mio miles on it (the counter goes for a second round) than you can say you did everything right. I would like to ask you for reasons for your decision. Is it for saving money or you think Filter Industrie is a skam?
@@kostia_mu it comes in handy and the filter no one carries here in stock so we always had to order them it just got annoying so we started using this one and it turned out to work great I have over 10 cars and use this brand filter all of them do fine there just convenient is all
@@Eumelbaer69 what do you mean keeping wasted spark we added wasted spark it use to have a different setup. There is zero need for full sequential spark. And I personally don't like using the ls coils or r8 coils and even if we used that it's still setup in the ECU as wasted spark.
Hey any update on this yet? Thank you so much for bringing this to the community. I would love to get one. Please do let me know how can I fo about getting one 😊
@@taylorbushnell5838 you know I don't have them at the moment but I can most definitely get them for ya what I did was put it in ice cold water them boiling water them at room temp that's how I get em but I have them written down somewhere 😅 give me a few I'll find it
Hey man.. thanks so much for providing us these videos. I’m sorry I can’t seem to find the video you refer to… What TPS is it? And what throttle spacer do I need? (Are they universal?) Cheers.
@@taylorbushnell5838 oh we don't sell them these are just diy videos so people can do this by themselves I haven't sold parts or anything like that in a while sorry man
Hey man, Great vid, Just bought a w124 wagon but didn't realise it had sls at the rear, what's the cheapest way to drop it a couple of inches as air ride just isn't within budget unfortunately.. Thanks in advance 👍🏼
@@chriskoeck1241 lowering springs h&r if you wanna remove the sls use the shocks from the challenger or charger I can't member now I did mention it in the video tho
@@thebenzhouse Sorry my mistake.. It was told to me that the type of engine is called a line 6, all of the plugs are on 1 side.. I just took another look and discovered it's the same. I also found the 19mm bolt! I just have to figure out how to get to it. Thanks
You can tell that pump has been replaced once already by the fact that it has 3 13mm bolts instead of the 6mm Allen bolts from the factory. Most techs would replace the bolts with the 13mm cause the Allen is a odd socket to have and you can easily strip the bolt.
@@rafaelestrada-gl2sh if you have the same trigger wheel I use then yes because it's a fixed position on the crank with the dowel coming out to make sure it fits on the trigger wheel and it's mark is at 84' at tdc
On the oil return line from the turbo, what's stopping you from simply drilling and tapping the oil fill cap on the valve cover and dumping return oil there? I don't think anything there would be upset with the extra feed and it would go back to the pan without any worry about cavitation and sloshing, as well as the shavings. And it would be 100% reversible with a $10 cap. I definitely haven't tried this, just thinking out loud.
Turbo oil drain can not go upward from turbo, if it will oil wont just immidietly flow down drain in turbo but it will collect in turbocharger and be able to go past seals and into exhaust and intake side of turbine wich will result in huge oil consumption and a lot of smoke. When you make turbo oil drain make sure the hose goes downward all the way from turbo to oil pan and that at the place where it enters oil pan it is still above oil level.
