Pacific Northwest Mercedes-Benz guru, Michael Medill will guide you through various repairs, modifications, and upgrades to classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles from the 1950s through the 1980s.
Thanks Michael for this awesome video. I have one empty pulley and the previous owner said there is no air condition. Could be that the reason I don't have a pulley belt?
Thank you sir for making video on vintage MB turbo diesels. I APPRECIATE your knowledge and expertise and bringing it to our attention. We need more helpful people in our community like yourself. Continue doing your thing and great luck to you and your business!
I really like your story. I get great value from your videos. Very practical tips and tricks. For example, making the W123 glovebox shut. Thank you very much. Please keep sharing your knowledge and experience with the world. I'm sure it has helped safe many a classic Mercedes-Bnez from the scrapheap.
My Dad brought home 1968 220D. Very unusual for a Detroit Tool and Die guy to have back then. My brother became a Mercedes’ master mechanic. I have only driven W123 and W126 for the last 45 years.
Similar story, Dad bought a 59 220S Ponton, learned to drive it, next 63 220S I drove that all through school. Dad bought a 68 230/8...it wasn't fast enough for me, bought a 70 Dodge Challenger, drove for 10 years, not comfortable enough. Bought a couple of Volkswagens but, always marveled at the build quality and ease of mechanical works of the Mercedes. Plus they were beautiful cars. I especially admired the coupes. In 2000 I found a well l maintained 91 560 SEC....I drive it to this day and find great enjoyment in doing so. Always enjoy your videos!
This is the Mercedes of old. Nothing about them now is worth talking let alone bragging about. Toyota & Lexus have been making solid and reliable cars for decades.
Do you have any tips on adjusting the 250c windows? I have two and they both stick out at the top like your passanger window. Please help or make a video on this subject?:) <3 you're our only reliable hope/help on youtube <3
Michael thank you for letting us know a little about the history of the Mercedes Guy. I am in need of some parts, I have a 1980 300sd. Main thing I need is a front passenger side window regulator. I saw your video too late about heating them up, and a guy I was trying to help out by letting him do some work messed up the one in the car beyond repair. Could I get your email, if possible. Thank you. Love your channel, never miss an episode.
"Less trips to the ER." I love it. You have a very patient camera person. I feel like I'm in the room with you. I do need a third arm too. Lovely. Good job well done.
Hey michael,i hope all is well! Can you make a video on how to take a w114 steering wheel apart? Id like to restore mine, but havent figured out how to get the hub, horm button amd chrome off of the wheel. Thank you!
Hi Michael, I have 1970 250coup w114 and I’m looking for a breather hose on the bottom of the air filter between the two carburetors can you please help me! Find it or have one for sale. I love you video’s and the explanation!
I probably do have some, but it would be better to buy new ones. There's a site you can find by googling "MB Teilekatalog" to get part numbers, though the site is frequently down. If you give the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in California a call they most likely have new ones to sell.
I replaced the alternator a month ago on my w123 240d after changing it the battery light never worked even with the engine off, today after a week that the car was left standing I turned it on to go to work and up to that point everything was fine, but to go home it didn't start I had to turn it on with a booster, and I noticed that with the engine on the voltage is 11.9V (I'll start by saying that the alternator is painted, could it be that it doesn't have ground?)

Hi Michael, I'm up in British Columbia CANADA, and it's 91 degrees today but I decided to put a new blower motor in my W116 this morning, get it done before winter LOL, original unit never been changed, 1980 300SD with 195,000 km, and thanks to your video it sure was easier than I thought. Great tip about which socket to use. THANKS !!!
