Hey if you're having fun who cares what other people think. It's your car, your passion. Have fun man. Good content!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks man. :)

[@Lifetime1776]

More builds please of Mercedes Benz

[@scotthaugen]

When I saw the forklift carrying the car in your first video I was thinking the fuel pump and valve body is so screwed...

[@greghinners]

I am proud of you for fixing the Mercedes. Fix that damn thing and enjoy it. You know it's the best comfort and prestigious car you have ever driven.

[@Kevin19700]

As an auto mechanic, I started using " Otter Case" about ten years ago. Saved my various iphones many times.

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

Quite honestly, I didn't care one way or the other, but definitely not surprised your fixing them any way. As long as you got the money and enjoy it, keep on trucking. Good learning experience for me. Thanks.

[@davemaiorana849]

You rotate the solenoid 45* and they come out..... their should be a anti rotation keeper to hold the solenoid in place...... you are correct..... they were installed wrong..... I know from personal experience with valve block rebuilds.

[@jonsmith1259]

Looks like you got the garage cleaned up! Looks much better!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you.

[@bobbylugo1977]

Put that phone in a quality case! I have an otterbox on my s9+ and have dropped it many times and no problems ;)

[@sasandabirian8768]

Next time buy a Nokia and drive a 94 Toyota Celica! Both guaranteed by Scotty forever! If you don't Scotty will break into your car and rev it's engine! Serious stuff!

[@danmackintosh6325]

And then Eric O will come and diagnose it with 15 different kits to prove beyond any doubt exactly where the fault is, why it happened, where it is again and how to fix it using nothing but some wire and lots of brake clean...

[@ForeignCarRambo]

Good to see you went with fixing her 👍🏾 Hope you make a nice profit selling it and she finds a good home

[@sosco22]

Glad you are looking into the ABC some more. I wouldn't have the patience.

[@kennykoester5701]

The 600 has been a great project car would love to see another project car in the works

[@architecturalhardwaresolut9625]

Glad you aren’t giving up!

[@luisrojas8024]

I just loooove this channel hahahahahaha hammering a valve body? You got it... Greatings man

[@Upstatecashew]

I share the same amount of passion as you man. good luck !

[@JoeManLARockinEmpire]

Sorry about your phone Randy. Positive vibes. Keep the videos coming brother!👍

[@ToddSivers]

Does anyone remember putting stop leak in this system? The car sat nice and level overnight. Stop leak increases pressure in the system. Increased pressure blows out valves. Cause and effect.

[@markfinnigan4994]

Keep going Randy. Get Tim a snorkle

[@shawnsutter9748]

Hey bro, Thank you again for your video content. I just started watching your videos. I am also born raised in OKC, Midwest City. My dad was stationed at Tinker AFB. We live on base and off base. Giving you a little background about myself. I went to Star Spencer HS but eventually graduating from Altus HS school in Altus Oklahoma then enlisted and spent 22 years in the Marines. Thanks again and give me shoutout on your next video. Your videos are great. Stay Safe....Shawn Sutter

[@hemipinto]

Looks like some Copart damage from moving it with the forklifts.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Actually no. These 2 were on the rear of the block and no forks could have gone up that far.

[@s2000julius]

@@AutoAuctionRebuilds there are actual forklifts that are longer than this car. As soon as I saw the extent of the damage solenoid, I immediately thought "forklift!"

[@joshreed7908]

Famous words we are gonna need a bigger screw driver lol

[@averageinvestor4423]

I cant wait to start bidding on cars and start an adventure soon!!!! Ya!

[@scottgray9674]

Ahhh for the simplicity of an old Bonanza truck hey Randy??? 😆

[@marktellez9719]

I hope when you do sell it I hope you get a classic muscle car to work on that would be pretty cool have a blessed day

[@simonwelch560]

Glad the car will live again. As for phones, they are now way too fragile to be much use. I have to keep mine in a case and have a stick on glass protector which defeats the object of it a bit - oh well.

[@ryanravencaller]

I just don't buy excessively expensive phones anymore, and kind of plan not to after hearing how easy they break my metro pcs LG k20 plus took a beating before I was on a ladder and it finally fell off, it's cracked but still works mint

[@DaddytechEnt]

*i got the note 8 AWESOME phones. $300 out the window is WHOLE lot better than $800 or better for a new phone! enjoy that Asurion insurance. it may seem stupid really at times. but it saves you in the event of something like this, congratulations.on a great choice that i for one have nothing but Kudos to offer. mine got cracked on the back days after i got it. doesn't affect the phone operation or anything, it's on the back away from the camera lens*

[@colyngautreaux1078]

I would kill for those 18" Monoblox Rims. Those are worth a pretty penny. I would take them off and put them in storage, a refurbished set is like 2000$

[@Zip_Zero_ZILCH]

My Note8 did the same thing. I am always careful with my devices but it def shattered off the rounded edges. That insurance is horrible as well, I pay $40 a month for it on top of that deductible.

[@J_Twist_nader_alley_gigs]

I had a big hunch that you wasn't going to part that car out. I also knew you was going to fix it. I wasn't sure if you was going to keep or sell it lol.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I'm hoping to get her back on the road and up for sale.

[@J_Twist_nader_alley_gigs]

That car deserves to be on the road.

[@colinashby2786]

Bummer about the phone. Are you sure that Samsung don't give you free screen in the first year. Loving this S class. Makes me want to go out and get one.

[@johnnysmile01]

Good job man keep going

[@69692tall]

All subs like & share this video...lets try to pressure him into holding onto S600 aka the "The Black Knight" 😎

[@danmackintosh6325]

Like others, I'm wondering if the damage could be related to forklift carrying the car. Not sure if there's any way pressure could be exerted on those solenoids from that though but it's more likely than anything else I can think of... That accumulator looks very similar in appearance to Citroen suspension spheres, if you can get the specs of it (Volume/pressure and orifice size if any) there's likely a replacement available cheaper than you'd expect. If you find someone into hydropneumatic Citroens you could ask if it'll fit on their sphere tester and get an idea if it's good, if it's low but not ruptured then they can be regassed too.

[@jimmyfizzy]

I already know the 600's have a bad rap, I would do the same, when all else fails get a hammer :)

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

LOL

[@MrBoultoninAZ]

I had an 03 SL55 AMG. Loved the car, but keeping it on the road took the budget of a small country. The new components would make the old ones break, eventually you end up with a new car... may as well just lease a new one.

[@maxboya]

It’s because we work on our cars. Hence the point of this video…

[@viktorstankovic7039]

this car is so powerful and your selling it

[@johnpro2847]

@ 1:48 A protective case is cheap insurance. Dropped my phone many time ..no damage.

[@louisserapiglia8619]

Do you think when they picked the car up with the forklift that it damaged the solenoid stems?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

No these were hidden on the rear of the block. Nothing could have touched them. And the cover was in good shape too.

[@mykline1]

You do what you want it's your car and your money. Didn't think you were going to trash it for that problem. Plus I don't think you could have lived with yourself if you had given up.

[@gradydeadsy6001]

Cases work wonders

[@rickb8808]

Money Pit. Tim will handle it, get your new phone.

[@paulgrimm7842]

That tow motor sure tares stuff up!

[@StealthyWolfDaddyWerewolf]

What a bummer. I was hoping you could replace the seals. Oh well, it happens. As far as that phone, I think a new screen is 100.00 maybe more. That sucks because you gotta do serious work to replace that screen. They are not easy to do.

[@Andy-vz1kt]

Can the solenoids be pulled without removing the valve block?

[@CL500MBZ]

No

[@davemaiorana849]

One of the solenoids has a small plunger in the end of its main plunger..... be sure to get the dirt out of this part of the body...... or the car will sag after a period of time... (less than 4 days) usually older will sag after two weeks..... its just a hydraulic fact of life.

[@larzDJ]

I'm wondering if the solenoids blew from over filling the reservoir?

[@CL500MBZ]

Nope. Usually it's old accumulators. There are the main reason along with lack of fluid maintenance. Randy wanted to keep the old one on this case which was a mistake.

[@augustbikebanditturner3907]

You and sam crac should link up and compare ur c6 corvettes

[@seattlekid25]

c6 has not gotten enough views on this channel so i doubt we will see that much of the corvette featured here

[@puriarahbarnia34]

Yes third, but gotta watch you vid later.

[@jaimemartinez8121]

Forklift damage or car bottom out or something like that floor jack

[@Lumixster]

Exchange the car for a new phone lol

[@albertsavage1984]

Yeah, but he’ll need to kick in some cash for the new phone.

[@just4kicks950]

The trolls in the house !! Will get over the click bait. I know its a older vid !! don't know the current status of the Benz. ! Car is to finicky for my taste. But wow what a ride when it runs. LOL 😁🙆‍♂️💯

[@VoloKinProject]

Sorry for the Note 9 man, it's a reminder how fragile those phones are.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Gorilla Glass 5 lol. Right! It fell literally 2-3 feet and hit my table leg. That really bummed me out today.

[@VoloKinProject]

@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I've cracked 3 phones in the last few months so I know the pain. I hate cases but you gotta put one, just for a piece of mind.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

It was in a case. I had it in a Spigen Rugged Armor.

[@VoloKinProject]

@@AutoAuctionRebuilds well, that's bad luck man. Are you getting it repaired of a fresh phone?

[@dyllindd]

BlueDevil should fix that phone right up...

[@jonj8379]

where do you get your directions, bentley manual or online download?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

[@colonialrogue1997]

Leaning tower of solenoid

Flagship phones should only be for tech reviews.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Well that doesn't make any sense at all but opinions are like ass holes they all stink in everybody has one.

[@MrBeeradb1]

I'd like to see a vid about that sable.

[@raghavbhatnagar2329]

I thougth from the title that we were doing engine work

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I've never heard of a valve block on an engine lol.

[@OffRoad-jh1do]

Why don't you have a clear screen protector on that phone?

[@nmattcar]

You ever think to yourself what if I never got into cars?.. what would i do

[@andyran]

shame that it was not the seals. a warranted used part seems sensible

[@amadan34]

fork truck in Copart when taking delivery probably did not hep here

[@Speedycat]

ahh i would have been suprised if u just stopped fixing that thing :D

[@degeneratewinners]

Shit!!!! On the note 9. I have a glass protector for the new one that doesn't suck. Just getting back

[@volvowagon70]

Well once you fix that it should fix the suspension issue..

[@arabiannights6334]

I remember when assurance charged like 50 bucks for a phone

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Me too lol.

[@ZachElder]

Their really going to hate the video of my old s600 getting crushed at the scrap yard if no one buys it before Wednesday

[@colmfarrel4742]

why is it getting crushed? what happened to it?

[@ZachElder]

Colm Farrel Needs a motor or the cats are clogged but with the abnormally low compression on 2 cylinders I’d say motor

[@ZachElder]

If someone gives me $1000 before Tuesday night it’s theirs located in WV

[@colmfarrel4742]

@@ZachElder You'd be better breaking it for parts rather than crushing I'm sure you could make a few grand of the parts

[@ZachElder]

Colm Farrel Im pulling the seats, some motor parts, the rear shocks, power antenna, computers

[@glenbo2464]

Your not done until your finished right ! Sucks and then add in the phone your due for some good luck.

[@eyalbarmitzvah]

A screw driver is not the right tool for removing the solenoid

[@quest360]

Order everything for the car just incase.

[@gac914]

I'd say they tried to install those solenoids with a sledge hammer. . . . :-(

[@coonhunter6964]

Got bent when Copart picked up the car

Ohhh cry me a river lol.

[@wilsonandrade2220]

👍👍👍👍

[@jonj8379]

you can fix the phone for very little , just order a screen, I fix apple products all the time and I think you can do those too

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Samsung Infiniti screens are very expensive.

[@nigelr0235]

Parts would cost too much for a note 9. He did the best thing filing insurance.

[@vivillager]

I knew you' come around. I thought that you, out of frustration, might just off the Mercedes for anything. I've done that before.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Not just yet ;) I'm close to running it into a wall but not just yet.

Again you guys meet to learn a site called www.parts.comtim Tim pls tell uberman about this site ASAP and ty

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Always lol.

[@kaisanhworrell9386]

Your not gonna sell the car... man

[@seattlekid25]

if he sells it, he should get another mercedes because of the content and views that he's been able to get here. Prius, corvette, chevy cruze don't seem to be popular here at all, but bentley, maserati, and mercedes seem to have made this channel grow enormously in addition to the copart videos

[@kaisanhworrell9386]

Exactly...plus I think he really likes the car

[@seattlekid25]

i believe that he has mixed feelings about the car 1 being that it has really helped his channel grow since he first got it, with views and more subscribers. another thing is that i think i've gotten the hang on his personality and that being he really wants to get this darn thing fixed so that he can be happy about selling it to the next owner. he's gone through a lot of bad stuff earlier in his life, he even has mentioned he used to not be a good guy well i can really see he's trying to do the right thing on this mercedes by getting it fixed step by step if for some reason he is able to get a good offer with the customer knowing the problems that it's going to have i know he will gladly sell it but for now it's great content for the channel and i doubt that he will keep it too long

[@mc-ok1lt]

Second

[@infamousgerald]

So you’re saying “don’t get a Benz”

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Don't get a Benz with the ABC system lol.

Corvette has wipers parked up on the middle of the windscreen.... i hate this. I immediately lose respect for anyone when i see them or their car with wipers not parked at the bottom like they should be.

[@danmackintosh6325]

I only lose respect when I see the car with it's wipers unparked... unparked wipers on them, I can forgive...

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

In that case I feel very sorry for you he must have a pretty pathetic life if you worry about people's windshield wipers perhaps you should go out and get a life of your own that way you don't have to live vicariously through other people on KZbin
