[@baitse7676]

Hey Alex, thanks for not leaving us hanging on the CDI. How about doing the face-lift mirrors to match the E63 bumper? Your E55 could use the same.

[@LegitStreetCars]

I did the facelift mirrors on the E55. If I can find a good deal on some Obsidian black doors with the mirrors I'm all over it. I need new front doors anyway due to some rust.

[@baitse7676]

@@LegitStreetCars Rust on a W211? Blasphemy! Probably better to just buy newer doors from a face-lift car in the same color. Lucky for you, the balance shaft in the face-lift V6 has sent a lot of them to an early grave, so a quick search of car-part.com, and you'll have some new doors!

[@FloroBeggins]

What’s so special about the facelift mirrors?

[@norimeshau7638]

Ya know, I’ve glanced over your videos for a while now don’t mean it to sound harsh), but I stuck around for most of the video this time and it’s really great content. Honestly, very engaging and entertaining the whole time 👍🏼👍🏼 keep it up brotha!

[@malekdahou95]

That radiator came out super clean after the compressed air/vac trick! Definitely paint the inserts of the headlights black like the E55. It looks so good!!

Hey Alex, thanks for these videos! I find all your videos informative and very cool. My favorite has been the CDI. Because of this series, I plan to get one soon! Don't worry if it is taking long, all of us that are car guys that have projects know how long it takes to do it right! The key is you do it right!! So thanks for that and don't get discouraged! Keep it up and thanks for the good material!

[@jaymase3735]

The thing is though.. I have an 05 CDI and it is the best car I've owned in stock form. Cool to watch the build for sure, but probably the car I would have picked out of all of them that I've owned, to be the Least necessary to modify..

Finally, the reason I subscribed in the first place. All the other content on this channel was just a bonus.

[@GamingM3d1a]

The 400cdi pump isnt a straight fit for the 320cdi. You also have to drill and tap new holes to the cylinderhead to get it mounted. Email blacksmoke, dieselmeken or dieselpumpuk.

[@NEMESISJ18]

Finally!!!! Of all your cars, this is my favorite one!

[@renerobes30]

Eight cars? And sitting for months? Maybe a fleet reduction, would allow you more time/car and less aggravation, stress is no fun. Looking forward to the dyno... Fan of diesels, own two, an ML and a Sprinter.

Hopefully, his fleet is more reliable than Hoovies.

Armadillo story made me chuckle. So you're the guy that hits all of them cuz the only ones I see are squashed. lol

[@3rdpartyU5er]

Hey alex! That pump is correct. The lines need heavy modifications for the pump to fit. Nobody says anything about because they expect you to know already about it. You need someone to do you those hardlines.

[@GiusGius-uo4cf]

Hi, I think this fuel pump fits on the E320 cdi with the V6 engine. The 400 cdi is a V8, so i suppose the engine layout is similar to the 320 v6 engine. Let me know if it's correct. Thanks

[@eQuASiANXane]

Love the videos Alex. I was wondering if you may get an M177 engined car. Your videos helped me do my own brake job on my 2015 C63 and I’d love to see you working on a similar car so I can follow a master tech! Much love from UK

[@marqueshairston1173]

Just a suggestion. About making two brackets to support the intercooler from the bottom side to keep the cooler from swinging back just in case you hit another armadillo again.

[@unforgiver45]

Question for you what do you think a c230k headgasket would cost to do I have a 2002 sport coupe m111 engine. It was my first car I bought knew and I dont want to get rid of it.

Totally enjoy the videos, been looking for a decent E320 CDI for myself but they are so hard to come by!

[@filip-pi9hy]

in eu they are extremely common s400 cdi e400 cdi e420 cdi 5 speed and 7 speed are rare and most fun dpf and egr removal and remap can do wonder mounten of torque

For headlights, I would wrap projectors w/ 100mm LED DRL angel eye rings & maybe update lenses to facelift version for vertical lines in turn signal light

Been looking forward to more CDI updates. Love unusual projects like this. Had i not been that i live in a country which has snow half the year i would have bought one and done some of the same mods. Will most likely go for an Audi A6 Quattro instead. Have you considered buying a A6 Quattro or S6 for the channel?

Hey Tim. I haven't thought of an Audi just yet. Maybe next year?

Hi, I am following this as I have a PT Cruiser with the 4 cyl OM611 crd as standard in Europe. My injectors are maxed out and I am getting 200bhp out of it. Get 250 with nitrous. Fuel is now my limiting factor. So looking forward to your pump upgrade. What's your fuel pressure? I can get 1600bar but I need more fuel flow.

[@auto_huncho]

Currently have a w203 C240, selling it for an E320 CDi, because of this build. Great work.

[@davemcginn8372]

I'm a huge diesel fan. I've had a 300SD Turbo Diesel (Best car ever had), 07 ML320 CDI (least favorite), Currently own 14 E250 BlueTec and 15 VW GOLF Sportwagen TDI. And do most of my own work on all of them. I think that inline six you have there was a good engine. When you discuss difficult start in cold weather, if a glow plug is an issue in a CDI it should trip a check engine light, no matter what the starting conditions. In short my 07 ML 320 CDI tripped a check engine light for "Bad #4 glow plug" which after replacement turned out after further troubleshooting, it was the glow plug controller itself.

[@kellygould2918]

@lagitstreetcars I remember one of your videos your e55 had a ticking that would jump from side to side. What was that, and how did you fix it? I have a clk 55 that has a tick that comes and goes. I believe from cylinder one.

[@Jasshands1]

OBA on a trans! I have on board air in my jeep, not for air lockers, but for train horn set up:) Want to do the same to my c55 but not sure it suits that car haha

[@tony66au]

FCP Euro for the WIN! Also worth noting that FCP Euro do NOT sell junk brands because of their lifetime guarantee and this is one of the many reasons why I only buy my Benz and Volvo parts from FCP Euro AND if they dont have a part listed its as easy as calling them and asking that they get that part in for you, Been a happy customer for a very long time and even their international freight costs and the best value. Another quick option for the Headlight Lenses is green cutting paste and a small 6 inch buffer on low speed, I also then wipe Autoglym resin polish on the lenses and buff it off which fills any minor crazing not buffed out AND helps to keep the lenses clean of road grime. Works a treat and the lenses come up like brand new as Mercedes seem to use an awesome quality material on their lenses.

[@dieself450fx4]

What are you’re thoughts about the 2.1L in the 2016 E250 bluetec and the car it’s self

Hm about the 2.1L in the E300de

[@JamesWilliams-li7gn]

You’re good with Mercedes I wanted to ask a question I have an e 500 4matic with the 5.0 I’m trying to find out if my fuel pump died or a crank sensor or cam sensor it Felt like it was losing power if I hit the gas why I was driving 65 on the highway the tachometer wrapped up if I hit the gas pedal down so I drove like 15 more Miles to get off the highway and when I pulled over if I revived it up it Felt like it was sputtering an Hardly running so I turned it off and it wouldn’t start back up it is just turning over

[@c.h.r.i.s2253]

Question for the MB A/C How do you fill the system when it’s empty? I just replaced my compressor and the car (2004 S430) will not accept the refrigerant because the computer says it’s empty. I clear the error code to try to fill the system but it just sets off the error again and won’t take the refrigerant

[@jameskovalik6142]

Bern Boomboom I could be totally wrong but I know on my W140 you can put the a/c in a type of service/test mode. Although the W220 is much more complex, I would assume it would have the same type of mode.
