KEY NOT RECOGNISED: About the key, I’ve had it not be recognised by the car. I had two keys actually have the same issue, only found out the second when I went to use it when the first wasn’t working. The fix in my two keys was the wire which is part of the induction coils to power the key fob had broken. A very simple fix; using a soldering iron, remove the insulation of the broken wire by tinning it (have solder wick the wire) and resolder it back to the terminal. You can get new coils but this wasn’t necessary in my two keys. A simple but slightly fiddly fix. I dropped a few windings of the coil when doing this repair but no issues, the power still inducts, powering the key up. If you’re not sure if this is the issue or not, you can buy a key receptacle tester which powers leds to test but my advice is to dismantle the key and check for a loose coil. The loose coil allows the wire to work harden through prolonged vibration and causes the wire to break eventually. Remember to secure the coil back to the circuit board to prevent the failure again. I hope this helps and is not isolated to the car, but all this style of key fobs which use induction to power the key to communicate with the car. If it doesn’t use a physical metal key then worth checking on this. Got me out of a jam after my 1 year old dropped my keys at the mall, and wasn’t able to start the car to get home. Got to ride the bus with him which was a fun time for us together all the same!

I hated the intro! It was so annoying that I almost stopped watching the video.

Then realizes its the DCT, CMon man, like fr

Is that a new type of helicoil 🤔😂😂😂😂

The mechanic gets bolts on and off mechanic technicians are the ones that don’t let bolts out 😅 real ones write down torque on removal and get them number and clean and ready to put them in the same location at the correct torque . Never work tired or sleep 😴 😅

Cement anchor on a car 🚘 😂

And you call a bolt a screw 😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So that’s why I always have like 10 screws extra 😅

Tell me screws are all the same without telling me screws are all the same 😬

Pathetic

weight reduction bro

Taj šraf što si pokazao je anker za zid od betona. Nikakve veze nema sa šrafovima od auta. Fakeeee

Just one? I trust you with my car

It's a wee bolt.

You know your a dick when you assume everyone is as unobservant as you

That's a concrete anchor 😂😂😂

Through bolt for fixing into concrete

Its like setting up a washing machine

Getting rid of inefficiencies, and the Germans thought they had it.

Anchor bolt in a car ?

Yeeaaaahhhh idk about that one bro

Sounds amazing

As someone with experience with both the W212 and the W211, I have to say that the W212 is a good car, but the W211 is a BETTER car. The W211 may get a bad reputation for a few “bugs” early in production, but it has proved to be the last “proper” E Class with the build quality, attention to detail, drivetrains and reliability that older Mercedes were known for. The W212 is a much cheaper feeling car, both in ride, build quality and material quality… but I would say is about equal to the W211 in terms of reliability. I just can’t see the W212 holding up as well as the W211 has over the years. I already see tons of W212’s with torn seats, horribly faded wood and very worn interior buttons… at low mileage. They also had the dangerous subframe issue which had to be recalled. This began when these cars were only a few years old. In addition to that, the interior has far too many hard plastics. Overall nothing about the interior resembles a traditional Mercedes, but rather a far lower class of car. Obviously MB realized this because the W213 has a beautiful interior in comparison. The W211 is becoming a classic, and immaculate examples are valuable in certain drivetrain configurations. I can’t see the W212 EVER becoming sought after. They’re decent “workhorse” cars, but not impressive in any way. They’re very generic in nearly every way, resembling any modern cheap Asian or American car. The W211 drives better, is far better looking, is just as reliable, is just as comfortable, has better build quality, better attention to detail, arguably better drivetrains, has better road feel, has far better interior material quality and has better ride quality. Some of this is subjective, but I’ve personally heard many people make the same judgements. The W211 can be a “lifetime” car if properly maintained. They’re meant to be serviced for a very long time. Some of that was taken away with the W212, and I cannot see them physically holding up as well. The only variable making the W212 more reliable as of right now, is the fact that they’re newer cars. A W212 makes a good disposable “beater” car that you’d park wherever because they’ll be near worthless eventually. A nice W211 belongs in a garage to be preserved and protected while not in use, and to ensure it remains in excellent condition. Its timelessness means that it will still be a relevant car many years from now, when all of the W212’s have rotted away.

That car is tooooo perfected. 😮‍💨

Homie there is no was that is stock 😮

My 5th Mercedes, 4th Eclass, 3rd W212 2016 E400 all have been incredibly reliable cars!

I have a w212 facelift. Very reliable. Never had any issues

Sat in the new BMW i5 recently, was very surprised the material quality inside was poor apart from the Tech. as compared to this W212 E-class. W212 is definitely a solid Mercedes inside and out, as well will last for very long time so therefore is environmentally sustainable in some sense.

I WANT ONE.

What kind of video is this ? Talking 10 min about a used CAR withput mentioning cars RELIABILITY ?! WOW just WOW

My Father has the first of the W212 Series (59 plate here in the UK). He has owned it for 11 years (the longest he’s has ever kept a car by a long way), because he simply loves it! Reliability is fantastic if you service them on time, and it’s such an economical car on diesel - we’ve seen it return 57mpg on long runs. Dad is soon to upgrade the car, and I’m going to buy it off him to keep in the family. It has covered almost 200,000 miles and is still like new inside. There’s no fading on any of the interior buttons, the leather seats still look fantastic, and the wood trim is as good as new. Also, there are no rattles or squeaks at all. Impressive! Just recently the drivers heated seat has stopped working which seems to be a common fault, and it’s currently having the turbo reconditioned. They seem like they were built to last. Oh, I forgot to say Mercedes Benz recently paid for a whole new rear subframe as there’s a real problem across many models of the rear subframe rotting. Fantastic cars and I can’t wait to keep it running for many more years to come. It still makes us smile.

14:28 no 3lr diesel, which is a bad engine

You drive a monster

Great review buddy. I’m picking up a 2015 this week God willing. Here in Ireland the diesel prices are gone up again but the e220 cdi is quite economical.

My 212 is from 2012 runs like a champ

Is this the diesel or petrol version

Which one do you suggest between e class and Camry ?

*large SUV not mid size

Love the steering wheel!!! 🛞

👍👍👍

I'm thinking of getting this in a cabriolet or get a C-Class cabriolet. Undecided right now

Mine is getting built at the moment. I really flirted with this colour but wasn't brave enough. Went with a safer Phytonic blue in the end with Oyster interior.

Never knew Mo Salah has a side gig! 😂 nicely reviewed btw 👍🏽
