Mercedes-Benz 407D Test Drive After 12 Years (1080p)

[@N-e.o]

Runs and sounds better than some 2019 diesels today

[@recycleman975]

yep

[@dogdooish]

12 years and a million km over salted roads, well done MB and you Flexiny!

[@ДимаДиДеликатный]

У меня такой же 1979 до сих пор на ходу!

[@IstotaSzara]

Environment-friendly car. The whole smoke goes inside and is inhaled by the driver, whose lungs work as a DPF.

[@GloryHoleBased]

lmao

[@brandonwilliams2431]

vodka as the def fluid for the human dpf

[@tomasmalin]

The only person being killed by the car's emissions is the driver. Seems fair to me.

[@CB3ROB-CyberBunker]

which just so happens to be why we drive those. and not the new ones. (although considering the frequency on which they are completely re-built every 5 years or so they pretty much are new anyway, other than the vin numbers ;) not that one strictly -has- to do that. they'll run just fine for 40-60 years without any maintenance at all ;)

[@suomenpresidentti]

Used to drive one of these for a living 20 something years ago. Good van.

[@suomenpresidentti]

P.S. How many kilometers on the odometer?

It is incredible how you guys get these old cars running again. Its funny when the Mercedes drove past the Ford which was "eaten" up by rust :-) Keep up the good work guys, and thanks for filming in a good proper quality!

[@jorokirchev4045]

Do you plan restoration for it? Good ol' chap started almost right up after all that time. It is worth of respect.

[@Mr.Birbpoop]

he actually stareted it before in winter. check his vids!

[@peterbeukers1511]

this guy is one hell of a great mechanic!

[@robinpzabel]

Why? It's an old german Diesel.

[@Briluvr]

it just got up, and walked out of it's grave

That little diesel makes about 65 horsepower. I had one in a car. It required patience. In a van like this it will redefine slow. That said it's a very cool vehicle and I hope you give it lots of love.

[@JanEikeK]

Are you guys in estonia as good with the bodywork on these old vans as you are with their engines? I consider driving my 507D up there for my next holidays if so ;) Here it will cost me a fortune, I don't have, to get it fixed - the motor is so excellent though - I only have to change the filters frequently and need to keep the battery up... An old engineer once told me that the motor will outlive the body by more than 50 years XD

[@Paul_Sleeping]

Watched the other video too. Great job guys. I always say people that know what to do with their hands and are not afraid to get them dirty will survive the zombie apocalypse.

[@AutoAgitator]

You would definitely survive a zombie apocalypse. Nice work!

[@anotherrandomcomment5869]

That 12 year old van still worked? That is amazing how well it drove. You should customize it or something.

[@GermanCube]

Its far older than 12 years, it has been sitting for 12 years ...

[@RWL2012]

Yep it's at the newest 30 years old

[@madgeordie4469]

Russians certainly know how to get the best out of old machinery. Not only did they get the engine to work but they got the whole vehicle moving under its own power. Amazing after being laid up for such a long time (and in Russian winters at that!).

[@codenamecordon]

Mad Geordie why would you ever call these people russians, when they're clearly not?

If you have changed its oils and various fluids it would be easier to start it for the first time. Also together with the new fuel lines you should've changed the little filter too. Air filter also. Just friendly advice, it is still amazing it started up! Since it was very difficult to start that one, have your checked if all the glow plugs were functioning?
