All The Problems With My Mercedes S600 V12

Time to evaluate all the issues with Mike’s cheap Copart Mercedes S600 with is’s V12 engine. Inside, outside, and what lies beneath… Monkey Wrench Mike discovers (almost) everything wrong with this very, scary car!

[@rayphillips332]

All that wire probably goes to those ugly led fog lamps.

The arrows on the rear seat control allows you to control the front passenger seat from the rear

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Oh cool!!

[@dylanash2569]

Meaning the rear passenger can easily fuck with the person in the front? I would love that lol..

[@chefd.w.hostettler]

Your videos are getting better and better! Your past experience and personality truly come through. I hope this car can make it back to a daily driver! The big 'ole girl deserves to stand tall again!!

[@crazybox7326]

black on black S600 .. The Dark Knight

[@karlmuller44]

I just noticed that the previous owner put an AMG-Style front bumper on the car although the car didn’t come with the AMG-Styling package - so you could swap this one over to the S 55 AMG and have both 220s with their proper front end again 🙂 BTW, the switch on the right rear seat control is to control the passenger front seat..

[@perryelyod4870]

You forgot to check the tool kit on top of the spare tire/wheel. It also includes the manual key to close the sunroof should the electrics malfunction. It's rare, but great if you have all the tools that the car came equipped with. Have you ever gone into the secret menu on the HVAC buttons?

[@jpcii]

Been waiting for this. Fixed my panoramic sunroof rattle in my E63 wagon this AM. So now that I feel accomplished time for a great video.

[@fasteddy917]

Looking forward to following along, Mike. Another fun adventure, at least for me. You on the other hand will be doing the heavy work.

[@wernerdanler2742]

Check the fuses on the headlights first. That screwy wiring for those leds may be causing issues.

[@maverickflint1991]

Never mind. You probably know how to fix the electrical 😊👍

[@mikepriceup]

She is a beautiful car for sure. This will be a great content car for the channel. Bring her all the way back.

[@dangeiger4231]

Ya,it's an electric nightmare with poor bond on the paint.Randy still wins the prize with the $20,000 "Orange Suppository" that is fried.

[@br549rdr]

Might want to fix sunroof first.👍. Just in case it rains. Lol. Great video.

[@pas-kv8ud]

Electrical problems!? Oh boy, that sounds fun! lol. Looking forward to the next video.

[@maverickflint1991]

Good to see you sir glad you're doing okay. Like I said she needs a few things done to her and she'll run like a champ

[@markcopland5738]

Mike,the widow regulator on that window,you didn't check to see if it worked on that door ,it might be a switch on the master switch.

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Very true!

[@erikv86]

Feels like this car could be called the "Purgatory Merc" with all the annoying issues popping up but not enough to quite pi$$ you off.

[@nayyeriqbal7142]

Loving this series. Videos are getting better and better! . Great video Mike!! You have a lot of problems on this car

[@1200kawa]

I would take and fix the roof first.not nice having a swimmingpool inside :)

[@playharder1435]

you can tack on transmission fluid creeping up thru the harness into the transmission control module (in front of the passenger seat)

[@billbowers268]

Hello Mike you'll conquer this V-12 your invincible .

[@jasonwho9992]

Another great video Mike keep them coming ✌️👍

[@geoffrolland2676]

If the factory tool kit is missing the manual sunroof tool. A torx 25 bit in a screwdriver should fit in a pinch in that screwhead.

[@haydenuk02]

Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@remolaughlin443]

[@Twopplgreyjackets]

Love the vids Mike (old & new). Also this Merc looks awesome🙌🏽

[@fredmaxwell9619]

I think you have your work cut out for you. Also I think another 1st thing to fix would be the moon roof, be kind of nice to close it.

[@maverickflint1991]

Have a good day sir and be safe and careful 😊👍🙏

[@josephmccormack6910]

Beautiful car. Just needs some care. Well done. Great video.

Mike, did you forget your second cup of coffee this morning? Another car to challenge you. I hope it goes smoothly, but it's a 20 year old Mercedes: what could go wrong! 😉

[@rayphillips332]

Fix the sunroof.

[@whistlingdiesel]

I don't know if telling the name of this paint shop do any good, considering the quality of the paint job one the S600. But please make it a quick flip, to get closer to the Bentley or the W140 red pig 😁

[@albertagibinik9230]

Try switch on the door 4th window, it might still work.

[@maverickflint1991]

I would contact the previous owner and ask him or her what the heck they did to the electrical?

[@cassinihuygens]

Not the jamesetta shade at the end🤣

[@timmarquez713]

You should do fleet update, showing us every car you own and what each ones current status is.

[@tomtheraton3058]

That interior 😻😻😻

[@kennethcroll6972]

hi Mike its blinking fast because it has LED light bulbs. you'll need to swap them

[@tm55555]

5:12 moves the passenger seat in front of rear right seat to get even more leg room

[@davidlilly3564]

Good luck. Mike.

[@davidlilly3564]

Thank you my friend.

[@PreciousRidez]

Looking forward to the vids sorting everything out Mike 👍

[@vluggejaapie7286]

I'm guessing some fuses are blown? good luck 👍 and despite those small defects it remains a cool car 😉 greetings from The Hague 🇳🇱✌️

The Hague??!! Very cool!!

Dimmer switch behind button is bad you take it off you can shake it a hear it rattling

[@howardrice9527]

I love the videos to dam funny. Stay safe my friend.

[@markbehr88]

And the sunroof. Don’t want the rain on there!

[@tony_25or6to4]

Fast blinking lights could be a bad or wrong relay.

[@garydevones3677]

People buy mercedes but can't afford the maintenance thats why you see so many problems

[@clifbradley]

Jamesetta....explains sooooooo much

[@danijelcar5184]

Lots of work to be done on that Mercedes 😎👍

[@thomasfletcher4765]

Well , one good thing is , the door for the " gas hole " isn't stuck shut .

I can't decide if the gas door doubles as a duck call or a deer call. #Black Widow

Ha!!

[@TrumpLac1776]

Mike please tell Randy to get the silver bullet that had the 96k miles on it . Also Mike please send the S600 to Walmart headlights restoration 🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘

[@paulmckinney6163]

Still a beautiful car nonetheless

[@tarzan6678]

Arrow on right back seat control should activate moving seat at the front passenger site, greetings from Poland! :)

[@tarzan6678]

Also, wood trims need some special clips, not glue.

[@vadim7590]

Take that Jamesetta, free shout out 😂

[@soelenny]

Overall small problems or not ?

[@edwardtc8129]

Hi Mike, rally enjoying the S600 hope you like it as much as I do. How is Lucky Duck not seen him on the channel for a while

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

He’s great! I’ll try and include him in the next video!

[@rossfield8850]

Hi Mike, she’s a beauty overall I think, nothing too serious. Few thoughts, re the sunroof have you just pushed the button up ie not backwards and forward etc. mine is like this and if I push the button straight up in the middle it returns the glass from tilt to closed. The side markers on the front bumper illuminate when headlights are on but your headlights are currently broken, they don’t repeat. Also the side repeaters in the mirrors are about $45 each for genuine off EBay. Just did mine because of condensation and yellowing and it’s such a simple job and makes so much difference! The blinker rate looked normal to me. Good luck!

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Turns out my car came with Xenon and someone but basic headlights in. Video coming soon!

[@rossfield8850]

@@MonkeyWrenchMike people do the weirdest things 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jorgem5222]

Hey Mike this car looks like a Dolores. also meaning in Spanish pain! This car is high maintenance and will break your heart😍😩

[@v.t.1646]

I'm hoping maybe it's just a wiring/fuse issue for some of those fixes. 😁

[@adeletreih7397]

Nice car

Damn, I love these W220 cars. I hope to get a chance to own an S65 AMG some day.

Mike, do you still have the 1987 BMW convertible? Have not seen it around in your videos?

Yes! Working on a video soon

The other arrow controls the front seat

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Thx!

[@CalebTomaschefsky-Youtube]

problem #7 that controls the front passenger seat. so the rear passenger has leg room.

[@clifbradley]

Oh know...the oil sensor. Did you watch Alex's channel about his V12 S65? Damn I hope it isn't the same

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

I need to watch that!

[@pandabearmychihuahua3198]

Oh those little seat and electrical problems man I hate those I'd rather replace an engine than do wiring work 🤣

#6, wood trim. Don't glue. There are clips available from Mercedes-Benz to fix it.

You could even find original wheels and tires for it so you can keep them expensive ones on the car now

It's a 220? LoL... Yeah, that'll never be totally fixed.
