Awesome video bro

Bro you want to sell your OEM Rims?

Men the engine bay looks awesome

Great video. At what mileage it's recommended to do the flush. Mine has 64000 miles and starts having a little bit of waining sound. So I figured it's probably the time for flush

I have an 07 s65 and i test drove an 09 s550 with airmatic and the ride reminded me more of my e class than one of my old Devilles, idk why people say airmatic rides softer than abc because it definitely does not

W220 s500 here with 205k just did valve cover gaskets the top end looks like it has 20k on it no sludge and very minimal oil staining on rockers

How do you compare the ride of the hydraulic suspension to the air in the w222? Because before i bought my w221 s65 i test drove a s550 and wasn’t impressed with the ai ride at all, but i love the ride in my s65, id grab a newer s but i think id have to get the amg because I’m used to the quality of the abc suspensions ride

I daily my 07 s65 and it was a little rough when i first got it so i had to invest but overall i cant complain, i knew what i was getting into and it hasn’t been bad, had to do a full tune up but i bought it with 85k, replaced the wheels and tires, body was perfect, interior near perfect, did all the mounts, all the front end parts other than the struts, I love it and dont think ill ever sell it

Thanks for the elaborate explanation, really nice!

would you say the s63 w222 airmatic or the s65 mbc is more comfortable? heard alot of poeple say the mbc is harsh

Can you do it with your w222 too???

I just found your channel. You give a lot of good information out, thanks. I just bought a kit to change my accumulators in my new ( to me) 2008 SL55, because, I have a lot of the records and it doesn’t appear to have ever been done in 15 years and 59,000 miles. But, it’s been pretty intimidating, since I’ve never done anything like this. Your video helped move me to a state of confidence that I can successfully do this. So, thanks again, and know that there are people out here who appreciate the effort you make and are hungry for this type of content.

Worked on my 2004 Mercedes S430 W220 ✅

Hello, I'm going to replace my head bolts soon. I will use the technique one by one. Can you give me the order you applied to replace them? If you have any advice. thank you

I’m confused on how you removed the tension from the timing chain tensioner to reinstall head

Interesting video. I was wondering how well these held up with daily use.

If you take your car to what ever type of repair shop, photograph as much as you can of your car including under the hood (bonnet), trunk (boot) and run a felt tip with squiggly lines on the battery, don't forget your wheels and tyres. Do this just before you go. When you collect your car have a good look around it and see that nothing has been switched for inferior items or damage.

dude u already knoiw man.... the people that talk shit about these cars are people that cant afford the car nor the up keep man... im right there with ya i have a 2009 s63 love my car never a problem i had to put new parts on it ofcorse all after market the dealer is not our friends and after market parts are just as good as the OEM stuff.

This worked on my 05 s430 benz I had to do it twice .make sure you drive the car how yoy like to drive .if you do this and drive slow it. It Will shift slow by memory .I had to drive fast for 20 minutes hopefully it stays shifting like i like it to.😢

what happened to this S65?

what made it 900 torque and how much hp

I will try it out.m because my s500 does shift smoothly

Would you still happen to have what you used to hold the crankshaft in with it facing downwards? I'm rebuilding a m156 and would gladly pay for it. Thanks.

Your steps are different from the other video with W220 that I followed. Not sure who is right or wrong.

👍👍👍

I had a leaking hydraulic line so I got it repaired at a hydraulic shop once I remove it. When I replaced it I didn’t have it tight enough and fluid sprayed everywhere from front left wheel well where the original issue was. I turned car off immediately. Once I tightened it I filled it back up the line didn’t spray from the spot but the car didn’t level out just still see abc light. I was told when pump leaks it shuts off automatically so I was thinking that since it was leaking when I reinstalled hydraulic line incorrectly that it needs to be reset. Any help would be appreciated.

I like how you casually said I dealt with a misfire for a while! That would drive alot of people nuts and will definitely not like the car. This generation of S65 are not that reliable. Yes definitely not as bad as people say but still not that reliable

Subscribed! Great video, I have been thinking about how to remove my engine if I need to. I no longer have the luxury of working at a dealership and access to a lift and ever MB tool. Great video. I place a piece of card board against the radiator any time I am working in that area, my shop Forman insisted on it.

One of the best ABC videos out there! Thanks! Expansion hose? Never heard of that and I'm researching this for a long time.

man v12 mercedes the engines are great like you said the abc can be expencive

What mileage?

Great video. I can I contact you? I have a Gl 63 AMG that overheated. Engine turns over but doesnt start

I totally agree with you.

Should you measure the piston to wall clearance ? Or gapping the piston rings ?

If you're buying an 8 year old W222 would you rather have ABC or Airmatic system?

I'm curious tho does the gas petal have to be down or can I get down there and manually press it? I got a 03 s600 and been noticing hard shifting, I was going to take out the valve body and replace those sleeves with the ones that have o rings along with the harness connector that's prone to leaking, but maybe this could be just what I need. Really hate it how I don't have a dip stick tho 😂 really grinds my gears that Benz would do that. They just want you to go to the dealer.

I believe the rts had the same trans too the nag1 rt magnums rt chargers and 300s had them should be the same as the 722.6 trans out of the Mercedes. I owned a 07 charger and a 05 magnum and both had the same trans but didn't have a downshift button below the gas pedal, could be different with the 6.4 srt versions tho.

What bolts did u use to mount the engine to the engine stand?

Very informative video ! Great advises ! Does all this info apply also to the new R231 ? I’ve heard that all the problems with the previous gens were solved and from 2013 and up the ABC systems(components and pressure lines ) are way more reliable . Do you have any observations on that ?

is it works for w215?

I loved that body style! I love that wrap too.

Wasn't an amg, but my first car was a 99 e320 and I had it for 9 years. Gas, oil changes, brakes and tires done twice on it and she never gave me any problems. I would buy another Benz any day maintenance goes all the way

I can get the original manufacturer piston rings. Done it on my build that I’m currently doing

Where did you get the crank holding tool? So you have flip the block over without the crank falling out?

Thanks for the explanation! I need to do that in next couple days as I'm about to change my rear Accumulators on 1994 SL600. I'll change fluid before changing!

Any opinion on the Weistec forged rods and pistons for the m156?

Interesting project keep at it

I really want to build a w204 c63 and these videos have been a great resource just to see what all goes into a project like this. Great videos, binged them all lol.

Any more updates??

hey men I saw your comment about exhaust you mentioned you had mufflers but no cats do you have any video of how it sounds with no cats from outside
