I really like the fact that it was able to be fixed without much time and didn't cost thousands. I'm weary of the Amazon ignition coils though. OEM R-500 coils can be had for around $50.00 per coil and provide some added safety because the coil is firing exactly within the parameters that the ECU is expecting.

Had a R350 when they first came out and loved it - super nice to drive and extremely comfy. Right after my warranty expired the front 4MATIC differential started eating itself and they wanted $5000+ to replace a non-servicable part. It was the last straw to a car that has extremely expensive maintenance/repair costs (e.g., $500 to replace the battery under the passenger seat).

@zachf6256 6 месяцев назад

Well done Sam! I have always liked the look of the r500. Very sharp I recently replaced my door card module on my 03 sl55 AMG. After trouble shooting circuits, and the multiple fuse boxes; all fingers pointed to the module. The initial issue was that my power convertible roof top and windows stopped working. $26 with shipping to my door, I swapped it out and had everything working again. I’m truly amazed! And ecstatic to inform you - as I know you enjoy inexpensive repairs and solutions. Looking forward to your next car challenge and troubleshooting video!

Engine issues predominantly, some electrical but the dealer was able to keep up with those, the monthly check engine light and the ensuing $1200 to $1400 a month MB dealer repair bills became comical. Kept it on the MB service schedule, 100% MB dealer maintenance. Never, ever considered buying an MB again.

@kalleklp7291 6 месяцев назад

Great finding and job. :) Yes, aluminum rims are notorious for oxidizing once the paint has come off. Most of them are powder-coated and will chip off once moisture has got to the metal. I had several such issues and the only way to deal with it is to take off the tire and restore them by grinding and painting. You can make a quick and dirty solution by deflating, grinding, and painting it over. However, I prefer to dismount the tire completely and start from scratch.

@johnelectric933 6 месяцев назад

Love it. Just a note, the EGR system isn't what you would normally think it is from the name. It supplies cool oxygen-free air to the cylinders during part throttle and stops ping on tip-in when going down the highway. It doesn't use enough exhaust gas to clean the exhaust, it takes advantage of the exhaust being oxygen free. As you can see though it causes weird problems when it doesn't function properly.

@narvul 6 месяцев назад

EGR doesn't deliver cool air, that's just what they tell you. Every EGR will fail and cause more fuel consumption and bad performance.

I had a 600 SL for 15 years. a marvellous car, 1 of only 160 in the UK. The only real issue is with the air suspension, but mine was trouble free. You can get a set of lowering "levers" and set the car much lower, it is dead easy to do, just set a lower level and keep position 2 or 3 for ground clearance. Another good modification is to remove the rear exhaust boxes and replace with straight pipes, stainless steel. It will then sound like a proper supercar, accelerate quicker, but best of all it will do many more miles to the gallon. I had mine done at a custom exhaust maker, it only cost UK £160.00. Well worth it. Advice, do not try to update the entertainment system with a Chinese modern one!

The problem with tires from another shop is most tire shops charge you a mount and dismount and recycling and it costs more some charge more for not buying them at there shop.. The days of buying tire online and having them mounted elsewhere is becoming expensive. I got four nice tires for my car and by the time i had them installed it cost more than if i had bought them and had them installed there. Discount tire charges $45 for each dismount and mount of a tire that's a $180 for dismount and mount of four tires. unless they're free it aint worth it.

@dewservices 6 месяцев назад

You're exactly right. I just did the same thing. Bought 2 Goodyears at Walmart and took them to my local guy to mount and he charged me $80. OMG. Seriously? Also, since I paid the State EPA fee on the tire at Walmart, I took the old tires back to them and left them at the door for them to dispose of. They were pissed and yelling at me but I showed them the receipt where I had paid for the fee and the manager said, "Just take the damn things.: LOL Anyways, to what you said, best to just buy and mount at the same place. Also, by doing this, most of them warranty the tires for free and do free rotations and retighten the threads.

I had a 03 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution that needed coils. Stock coils were hard to find, aftermarket were plentiful. my Evo blew them up one after another. After a lot of experimentation and a lot of blown coils, I found out that many of the aftermarket coils had resistors built into them. The ECU sensed this and raised the voltage, nuking the coils. I finally found a set of coils for more $ without the resisters, fixing the issue.
