This happened on my M273 at 140,000 miles. Kept the vehicle until the transmission went at 254,000 miles. GREAT engine! 2007 GL450

Don’t buy one . . . That’s the best way.

The r230 was such a decline in quality . Having owned an r230 and r231 I can state that they are no where near the quality of my old r129

Not on all r230s....but 4 wow, may want to goto the local LKQ, and get some practice, and a few extras....ABC is your friend.

Do you have a preferred vendor for ABC pumps, Im in Chicago and have an 05 SL600 replaced the pump 3Xs to get a good one six years and its bad again....

Manual swap would be cool..

What does causes cylinder to make this scratches on the cylinder walls?

😂😂😂

This comment will be polarizing. I've had a W210 E55 with the 5.4 M113 and i now have an E550 with the 5.5 M273, i prefer the M273.

i m been doing that but srtll RBM no move and the gas meter no working some one can help please thank you and his video help a lot

I've never seen any of those problems that one pile of garbage has. Maybe it's been sitting out in the sun for the last 20 years?

Thank you for the details on the fluid! Hope to see more AMG GT videos.

It’s amazing how smooth those 4.7 engines run, I’m a Ford truck guy but I really admire those toyo V8’s

So do old Chevy and Ford trucks with no timing chain swap. So does a 90s Honda Accord. Anything should go a half a million miles if you do the maintenance without major rebuild. I'm talking no pistons, rings, cams, lifters, valves, springs but only wear items like timing belts, rubber parts that rotted, whatnot. I have a 2008 Mazda 3, which is identical in every way but body panels to a Ford focus with over 260k on the clock. Drives and runs like a 80k mile car. Engine has never been cracked open. It will rust apart before that little zetec dies. And I'm not even a ford fan. That's just reality that if they don't last 300k plus there's something inherently wrong with there design

Love me a UZ powered car!

Like the old Mac commercials...It Just Works!

Hi from dubai. Which is best reliable g-class. Isit g500 or g63.

Watching those engines dangle from the chains in the air, as you both slowly navigate them into place, I see the sweat, I sense the nervous behavior of manhandling hundreds of thousands of dollars of someone else's machines. Stress level = ba-zillion. I still get the same way just changing a cabin filter in my wife's car. But you make it look easy, makes great content.

Have an 02 Tundra with 400k and a 225k 06 Prius. Prius on its last leg, been searching for an 04 4wd Sequoia for a while now, slow process, lotsa ragged out ones, but patient....BTW, it's 90k or 9 years for the mitsubOshi timing belt, so hope that one's been changed a few times, even with 80k.

The W202 is such a great car. My 99 C280 has 222k miles on it and runs like a champ.

Me over here with a 2012 ml550 with 140,000 miles 😐, so far runs like a top with me luck 🫡.

AGAIN german from Hamburg here with a lot of experience with the M278. You have to get an M278 from April 2015+ some Models Like GLE/gls even at least juni 2016. Some problems stay also in these generations. Thermostat failure, stays open, plastic and sealing leak and brake, no big problem. Cost 300-750 labour. PLEASE NO EXCUSE change your oil with Filter every aroznd 4-6k Miles. 0-40 if long hauler often 5-40 you fine with Both for sure. DO IT great robust Engine but very define. Chain tensioners, cold start clicking, not your chain, its the tensioners which will lose power even if there is oil check valve installed. If so just renew with the tensioner the sealing of the Front cover which also leaks on newer engines. Build in oil stop wirings on your camshafts adjusters and camshafts sensors. Tank in the good oktane with clean engine formula to avoid to Cook your fuel injectors. Thats basicly is. Turbos in 98 of 100 cases totally fine After 100 of thousands.

As long as the Wizard has Hoovie as his customer....... he'll never be out of money

Is it better than a lotus? Yes. Is it better than a Exige S3? No!

My uncle has a 2011, I’ve been trying to buy it off him for years. Such a beautiful car when well maintained

orange in the bumper. hello 1980 😂no rear massage . to bad.

Does the v8 use same balance shaft as the v6 if so its trash

Hello, "DC MotorWerks" I saw your channel and saw that in your channel have some problems, not many. For these problems your channel is not growing. If you can solve these problems, Your channel will grow like a storm. Do you want to know these problem? If you Want to know, I can only tell to you. Can I tell here or email?

The white leather is better especially with the granite. So this is not the best...

Was denkt man sich bei diesem Intro 😂

120k on my m156 still running strong!

Audi-ghini’s 😂

That’s beautiful

What are they forgiving about compared to say a Honda or Toyota . Resale I guess .

I've owned and worked on the M273 and M113K - I always swore the W211 E550 (M273) was the BEST all round daily i've ever owned... even compared to my nicer S600 and newer C63s... - The M273 is amazing - just needs to be well looked after - the M113 is more durable to being abused.

Mine did that. It’s the input shaft pocket bearing and/or the counter shaft bearing. Have to get an entire kit for the input shaft pocket bearing. Not available for individual sale.

S63 is a Beautiful car indeed

Crazy

My M273 on w221 chassis made in May 2010 , it's bulletproof in Ten years of owning the car I had no trouble whatsoever, it has 433K kilometres, am very strict with maintenance, fully synthetic oil changed at 5000 but in recent years I started to change it at 3500 , I only changed the oil cooler at 200K ... Some hoses due to age and the secondary air Injection. For the PCV I changed it yearly for both the high load and the low load just in case. Now my Intake manifold arm broke I ordered new genuine pierburg for 600

How in the world did he make the computer run with a manual that never existed for that car? I’ve seen it done on BMW’s with both manual and auto, but never one of those.

The more I learn about he V8 Biturbo engines. More I think I will never buy a Mercedes.

You are very lucky…. I have a 1990 300sl. Absolutely gorgeous. If you want to sell it, please let me know.

Was nice seeing my Benz (I have a black E500) sitting back there next to a bunch of Lambos. I don't feel so bad now after paying $4000 last week for repairs. LOL

Looking at a 2013 S550 with the 4.7 biturbo. Has 88K miles, looking at Carfax the first owner did 10-12K mile oil changes for the dorst 60K miles. Seems like a lot. Should I keep looking for a 2010-2011?

I got the extended warranty for 5 years. My idea is to let the shop rebuild the entire car for the next 5 years and then I'll have a decent car, LOL. I'm betting the original owner of your scored engine changed the oil every 10K miles.

good luck finding someone who knows 5.4s better

Ahhh the old dot matrix printer.ever tried to dance to the noise or am i the only weirdo. Atleast nothing caught fire while you boys honed your skills..😂 . Onwards and upwards. Love from england.❤
