Oh man, it's time for a new engine. Anyway, I enjoyed this one 😁

I don’t know, coincidence or not that I have 2 spare engines, lol :)

Ha, Zeitgeist demands to quote Prince Harry, so you got a “The Heir and the Spare" means Charles is broken in the car and Willi and Harry are waiting 😁😁

Very interesting videos. I was wondering if you were going to check the tumbler flap! Disappointing Mercedes wouldn’t recall such a known issue.

[@HETPEZB]

The flaps were good on my replacement intake. The engine ended up being slightly broken. The engine tear down is in my other video.

i think i read something about disabling AMG cylinder management by setting the ride quality to "comfort mode", but i'm guessing you already know all that. :) maybe just check the injectors, throw some plugs and a new battery in her and see if she'll take off. it's possible, i guess, that if water was high enough to get into the intake manifold, and i don't know at what height the airfilter/inlet sets, that simply removing the water in the intake manifold was the major problem and that the seized engine was just from setting too long. the air intake on one of my vehicles sits only about 10" above the ground. it wouldn't take much of a flood to end up in a situation where the engine was trying to burn water! :)

I’m pretty sure one or more pistons are no longer have a permanent connection to the crank :) That typically happens when you try to go through the deep puddle/water with a high RPMs.
