If you end up advertising this car I would put a link to these videos .Anyone in the market for one should snap your hand off for this one.Its been thoroughly gone through from end to end by a true pro who really cares. Outstanding job

[@sprautos]

Very kind comment, appreciate the support. We will be taking you advise and linking the videos with the advert.

[@djwarren5081]

First class work. Attention to detail is second to none!

[@davidorama6690]

It’s so nice to bring a car back to a decent condition, especially when it’s a top performance spec motor. Love your work.

[@sprautos]

Thanks David glad your enjoying

[@Meads4]

It's not a dissapointing ending at all.. just a cliffhanger and a reason to stick around for the next 😉😂 I also hope the new owner of car appreciates all the work and it doesn't end up in costco carpark doing donuts 🍩🍩💨💨

[@sprautos]

😂😂😂

[@billbow7757]

Xmas eve watching the channel. What a great way to avoid the kitchen 😊. Great work and attention to detail. Hope the Bell End who attempted the original fix sees this and hangs up his tools in shame. Looking forward to E5.

[@sprautos]

Great way to wid down. Enjoy.

⚠️Top tip from me re getting wheels off seized rusty hubs........... Loosen all the wheel bolts just 2 turns each. Then lower the car to the ground. You'll hear a thud from each wheel as the weight of the car frees them off for you 👍 No need to use a big hammer and risk damaging the alloys. For really seized on wheels you can drive the car 20 metres and this is guaranteed to break the static bond between hub and wheel. I've used this technique for decades. Works every time ✅

[@seanpaul3050]

Yes but two turns is too much. Just a quarter turn is enough

[@john_milner]

The gift that keeps on giving ... just like my W220 😉

[@tomthepigeon6272]

You done amazing job to the AMG so far. Well done

[@sprautos]

Thank you 🙏

[@StephenGibbons-z1u]

This has been fantastic to watch. I own a 20 three-year-old Mercedes C 200 compressor. Which it has been 2 years since my breaks were done. And is due to go in next week. You do a fantastic job on every episode.

[@sprautos]

Thanks so much very kind of you 🙏

[@grobins2007]

I wish I had a mechanic to train under as good as you when I did my apprenticeship in the mid 70's

[@nuntiusuk3345]

I wouldn’t dream of telling you guys anything but just a little tip, get some nice stylish clear Bolle eye specs. Cheap from screw fix .An eye injury could have serious consequences .

[@khsmith6242]

Top work. I like the way you treat/speak to your young mechanics not only a proper professional but passing on good habits and your knowledge. Top channel this regards from Aberdeen

[@sprautos]

I appreciate that! Thank you 🙏

[@karlmabe1649]

Truly amazing detailed job

[@Parknest]

I think my own C200 has the same problem with the rotating knob. Mine was also mising the cup holders when I bought it. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@sprautos]

The cup holder is a good purchase. Appreciate the support

[@Parknest]

I've just subscribed. I've already bought the metal shaft for the knob (oo er!). I will be documenting the repair on my own channel.

[@kennethtalbott2233]

nice to see a garage keen on putting things back correctly, unlike my now EX garage that managed to lose my under trays, alternator cover and didn't even replace the injector crush washers after testing and one was totally missing giving me a diesel injector knock, damaging the injector. ended up fitting a full set thanks to those clowns.

[@sprautos]

O wow that doesn’t sound good

[@kennethtalbott2233]

@@sprautos been using them for donkeys years, unfortunately the guy that used to do the work has moved to a different branch, now i'm down almost 5k they will soon be getting the bill. only went in for a crank no start starter relay code. after three weeks of guessing they told me it needs a new engine. i took it home and after a couple of hours i got it running and then found major oil leak from them removing the timing cover and refitting it damaged, no gears as the linkage was damaged due to moving my van on and off the ramp with only one engine mount, the list goes on. now i have done all the work and the so called dead engine is running like a dream.

[@PB200559]

Really enjoyed this series. Good stuff lads.

[@7417cd]

As a C63 WDB 204 owner really enjoyed the video. My car is serviced at MB, I hope my cars brake pipes are OK, quite a scary thought. Thanks

[@Orwic1]

Just keep finding more to do! Sounds like my car 😂. Brilliant video; again, really interesting and great to watch, thanks.

[@dcasteaux9181]

Comand plastic rotating knob pin failure is very common. Had the same on my 2011 C350.

[@pamed76]

Love how you approach problems. Nice shop.

[@sprautos]

Thanks 👍

[@giovanniamabile6417]

Brilliant work and attention to detail!

[@Markymarkvinylnut]

Found your channel from Matt's. Brilliant videos, thoroughly enjoying them. Thanks

[@sprautos]

Welcome! 🙏 and thanks 🙏

[@joemcaleer3521]

Sam ! Great video's. I was a Mercedes Benz enthusiast,last car E350 Coupe . Now Audi A7. Better build quality. Keep it going.

[@leonboersma2375]

Still the prettiest C-class. So you can always just put it in the corner of the workshop just to look at 😅

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

Was that Ate SL6 brake fluid going in? I (wrongly) ran Ate Typ200 in my C207 chassis, listening to everyone everywhere but did change it yearly & never had problems. Now I'm on genuine fluid as BeVo sheet supports nothing else & instantly noticed diminished performance. BeVo sheet lists Typ 200 ok for Unimogs w/ a yearly service interval which is why I flushed yearly. I understand SL6 is meant for passenger cars, street driven only & good for ABS/ESP systems.

[@myredute]

I love what these guys are doing to this C63 because it makes my 2003 W211 E320 the best car I've ever owned, apart from my 478,000 kay W124 E280 still in pristine condition.

[@jamesemcclure]

Shocking someone would fit the wrong track rod end. Unbelievable that someone was allowed to work on this expensive high performance car that either didn't have a clue or didn't care enough to get it right.

[@stevencoyne4971]

Great Videos Thanks For Posting !👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@sprautos]

Many thanks. Hope you enjoy the others parts to go with it.

[@federicotorresbordils7624]

Mercedes still has of course MB 325.0 blue coolant, in fact is for all models up to 04/2014 BimmerN53

[@sprautos]

Believe it or not mb no longer sell blue coolant, if a coolant change is required and it has blue they flush it out and convert it to red.

[@Mrs.Thatcher]

So there is a mechanic out there who fits wrong parts and doesn't replace engine mount bolts???

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

Probably 50% of them!! Definitely the reason I started wrenching myself. Couldn't believe the level of incompetence out there.

[@JAKEaudio2]

question.....why not take the fan out to do any work on the front of the engine??? 6 bolts and a few clips and its out and in your hands in about 3min and with it out of the way you have enough room to almost stand in front of the engine. I daily my C63 since new and with 335k mi now i can assure you that i have been over every bolt under the hood a few times each....but do love the channel and the content Guys.....subscribed from Georgia , US

[@sprautos]

335k! That’s good to see it’s getting well used I daily my e63 m156. Yea we could have taken the fan out for more room I suppose.

[@anthonyhendley1689]

Would be good if you give the bill for the work including part's 🤔

[@sourabhsangale3952]

Best job with full dedication will you be able to get good profit after spending so much ?

[@aq7705]

Everyone needs an AIR HAMMER!!

[@rodneymaynard3834]

My sort of garage.

[@ftffighter]

If I can make a recommendation, don't be afraid to split up your videos to get more "Mileage" from your work. I'm happy to watch a 2nd video if it supports the Channel/Company/You guys!

[@stephenmaher4128]

Brilliant Thank you

[@frontlinemedia4270]

Typical Mercedes gaskets that are metal. They all fail. They use these are all areas. Watch out for the head gasket to go. Water pump was probably still good and can usually go 200k before the bearing goes. Those tensioners aren't a good design either

[@sprautos]

Yea I agree. Water pump would of gone again but couldn’t bring my self to put it back on 😂🙈 so spending more money than I need.

[@frontlinemedia4270]

@@sprautos yes. I have a sprinter. I ordered the water pump as soon as I saw the drip then discovered Mercedes' error. I'm still dealing with Mercedes' problems with this vehicle in every aspect. I see why the Germans lost the war

[@gaspode505]

Some plumbers were there 😂

[@sprautos]

😂😂

[@nuntiusuk3345]

Poor quality cars . People think they are buying high end engineering but those days are over . You are the best person to own a high end Merc as you can fix it and it keeps you in a good living :)

[@zzhughesd]

Agreed. I really enjoy watching SPR videos

[@seanpaul3050]

Can’t believe someone would waste time cutting down the wrong size pulley like that. Some people.

[@sprautos]

Crazy, couldn’t believe it tbh

[@tariqrashid1000]

Where are you based?

[@sprautos]

Manchester Stockport

[@tariqrashid1000]

Brilliant will be bringing my W212 E63 to you definitely 😀

[@nomdeplume798]

Just wondering if all these problems are a result of some bell end and his mate bodging this up in a car park or a poor garage messing everything up and then leaving it to someone else to sort out.

[@sprautos]

😂🙈 I can’t say

[@gerrywhelan7426]

Buy a Merc, Buy CRAP.
