So would this wheel be a direct swap on 2014-15 W212’s without changing the switch gear?
@bucksgarage 4 күн бұрын
Yes I believe it should be. My switch gear is from a 2015 W212 so the wheel should be a direct swap to a car that already has the updated switch gear.

Not really enough to notice. It is just a tad more sluggish off the line to get the bigger tires moving, but once moving I don't notice much difference.

@@bucksgarage Thanks for the comment. I have a 2014 E250 Bluetec (diesel) so my car is already sluggish off the line, maybe going from 17" wheels to 19" or 20" might not be a good idea, although I'd like some nicer wheels on it (17" just too small I think).

Hello Dear Aaron, Thank you for your tutorial; it's very enriching. I would love to know your opinion on the best CarPlay system for the Mercedes W212-the one that best preserves the original functions while efficiently adding Apple CarPlay. Thank you. Best regards,

The problem is the drain outlet gets clogged with debris, at the 4:15 mark you can see a blue mark on the drain opening. If you let this get plugged up the water level overflows into the the air vent and leaks inside. There is just a rubber flap that acts like a one way valve to stop air from entering but will let water run outside. If you keep that drain clear that will solve your problem and you won't need to disassembly anything, simple fix.

Great video bro! Question would a 275/35/20 work in the back? I currently have a set up of 245/35/20 in the the front and the 275/3020 but there is a bit of a gap in the back.. The front sits perfectly! So I figured I would raise the sidewall diameter to fill up the gap.. I have a 2017 E300 ..4matic .. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated
@bucksgarage 2 ай бұрын
That would be 3% or 0.8" difference in tire diameter. Might be fine with the 4Matic, might not be. Personally, I'd prefer to be closer in diameter to make sure there are no issues with the 4Matic.

I bought a 2012 E550 Coupe in October, 2011, and I still have it. In the summer of 2012 I took it on a road trip from Ontario to Saskatchewan and back (5,406 km or 3,359 mi). I got 7.7 km/100km, which, converted from the incomprehensible to the sensible, is just over 30 miles per U.S. gallon. Power, luxury and economy in one fine package. That said, I've just ordered a Renntech ECU upgrade (ECU:54.207.E550BT) which purportedly yields 540HP and 705 lbs-ft of torque. Can't wait to see how that goes (pun intended).

@@bucksgarage Just installed it this morning. Holy s**t! In casual driving, there's little difference other than throttle tip-in and general feel seem to be even smoother than stock, surprisingly. But, wow, stab the accelerator and hang on! Pulls like the world's quickest freight train. As the old ad phrase goes: "Try it. You'll like it." Or in my case, love it. Renntech's claimed numbers, which I now believe completely, are: Factory Claim Stock: 402HP and 443 ft-lbs Actual Tested Stock: 435HP and 508 ft-lbs Renntech's Upgrade: 540HP and 705 ft-lbs Not inexpensive, but worth every penny and more!

@@bucksgarage Reputation, primarily. Hartmut Feyhl was 12 years with AMG before starting this company and by all accounts Renntech still has a semi-official working relationship with both AMG and Mercedes-Benz. I read many reviews and testimonials and they are almost universally good. I can understand anyone on a tight budget balking at the premium price, but hey, these are premium vehicles. Personally, while price always matters of course, I'm willing (within reason) to pay extra for proven quality and reliability. Now that I've tried it myself, I can vouch for the results. As to whether the cost-benefit equation makes sense, that's up to each individual. I'll be interested to see what product you end up choosing and how it works out!

I'll second many of the comments here. You really want to do the oil from under the car. It drains more junk (if there is any), but maybe more importantly, it gives you a chance to actually inspect things underneath. You would normally inspect for oil, coolant, axle or other leaks and just make sure everything is good to go. Can't do that from above. Even if the dealer does the oil extraction, they are going to put the car on the lift and inspect.
